ss ;&4 _ PAGE SIX 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. -Helen A.

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.
