SEPTEMBER
I saw her coming through the fields,
Where golden grain was bending,
And fell to musing o’er the joys,
Toward which her feet were tending.
I thought of haze encircled hills,
Of vales in shadows lying,
And felt that blessing undefined
Were not the soul’s denying.
■
I saw the hazel by the brook,
With gold its branches crowning,
And knew that in the chestnut burrs
The fruit was slowly browning,
And so I thought, “There’s
more
To hope for than remember, t*
And to the brown-eyed maid I said,
“I love thee, sweet September.
I thought of woods where altar fires
Would soon be set aburning,
And In my happy dreaming saw
The world in worship turning,
Bright promises of joys to come,
And good things to remember,
Our hearts are glad because of thee
0 glorious September.

POLICEMEN I
TOOK A CHANCE
4
By MARY J. J. WRINN
ofi. i>oubi(xi»y, pHte A Co., Gordon Ity.N.Y.)
I WAS uneasy about tbe room when
I rented it. It was atractlve with
Its bay window that looked out on two
but rr;.:rj it was on h tL the l0 ; first e ^r floor. P,e8 One o 0UtS,de good ;
step from the iron rail fence below
would make my windows easily. My
landlady assured stationed me that two police- |
men were on the corner op
poslte and that she herself occupied
the adjoining front room. An elderly
doctor lived in the back parlor on the
other side. Surely that would be pro
tection enough J
"See," she had said, leading me to
the window, “one policeman walks up I
and down the avenue while the other
takes everybody care of St John’s place. Almost J
is in the country at this 1
time of year of course.”
Following the gesture of her broad I
palm I could see that the brown stone
fronts on St. Johns* place were board¬
ed. I took the room. As she had stated,
fhe uniformed enforcers of the law
trumped their beat far out of sight,;
each at regular Intervals reporting at
tlu. red box on the comer.
Nevertheless l- rarely- slept. well.
The slightest sound and 1 was awake
—listening. 1 had entertained a party
of friends during tbe evening mid be
cause the party was late In breaking
U| ’ 1 tmd Persuaded Sally Gruves to
stay all night with me.
Use house and the outside world j
had long since settled into science
when, all sit once. I became conscious
of voices under my window.
“Oh. is that where she lives?”
“Yes, how about It?"
They were men's voices conversing
in guarded undertone.
‘‘Site's away?" continu e d the first,
“Yes.”
A moment's silence. I held my
breath, petrified.
“You’re sure . . . windows open?"
"Dead sure." Then followed a hur¬
ried exchange of indistinct words.
"Weil, If we’re going to do it, let’s
do it now. It’ll be getting light soon.”
I bounded out of bed to the window.
Through the darkness I couid distin¬
guish two figures stealing tovfard the
opposite side of the street
“What’s the matter?" came sleepily
from the couch.
I told Sally what I had heard.
“Let’s call the doctor,” she said,
making for the door.
“Better wait awhile," I advised.
I won’t stay in this house another
minute,” was her reply. She started I
to dress, while I stood at the window
watching, numb with fear. But Sally
was a creature of action. , J
“Let’s close the window,” she ad¬
vised. We pulled down three and 1
bolted them but with all our eom
blned strength we couldn’t budge the
fourth.
“If the policemen would only come
along!” I said.
“They’re never around when you
want them,” snapped Sally. “What
are you going to do—stand there un¬
til those crooks get back? Where’s
your poeketbook?”
I hadn’t the least idea where it was.
“Some one has to watch,’’ I cut in
Irrelevant ly. “How do we know what
they’re up to?”
“I’m so afraid of a shot, May,” sniv
ered Sally. "Listen!”
Step. Step. Step. Step. Tensely
we waited until the form came to
view. It was a woman bound on
heaven knows what ghastly errand at
that hour.
Don’t scream—even if you see them
coming,” I warned, We’ll simply
make for the door.”
M You’re a fine sight for that!” she
said shortly. But she unlocked the
door against a hasty exit.
I felt afraid ® to consign my post to
Sally while dressed. She might
shriek at a lurking shadow and need¬
lessly alarm the house. Sally was
hysterical.
All at once, as I had expected, a
form slouched from the dark, area
way. Along the opposite side of the
street it came. In front of my window
the dark figure faced my room as
though gashing the distance between
the fence and the window ledge.
Resolutely he stepped from the cuTb,
Sally clutched my arm. “Come on,”
she almost shouted and made for the
hall. Bui terror held me to the spot.
The shadowy form had gained the
middle of the street. He paused to
glance stealthily over his shoulder for
his accomplice. Cautiously, from the
mysterious area way, emerged #kited. the
second figure while the first
I wanted to scream but I couldn’t I
wanted to rush out to Sally, but mo¬
tive power had left me. The first man
was now at the curb.
n Look 1” I gasped. I felt rather than
saw Sally beside me again. In the
man’s hand I noted the familiar po¬
liceman's club. As the second Joined
his colleague beneath the window, we
noticed that one hand was shielding a
spark dangerously close to his lips.
All at once, with the rank odor of a
cigarette, explanation dawned. It Is
against regulations for the policemen
of Greater New York to smoke while
on duty. But here were two who had
enough sporting blood to take a
chance.
We both laughed with hysterical re
lief.
"Tut glad the houses on St John*
place are good for something besides
moths and burglars,” yawned Sally
A few moments later a milk wagor
rattled along outside.
