WHEN ART HA8 GONE
When art has none and singers all are
mute,
And sounds of hasp and minstrelsy
have fled;
When Pan has stilled the magic of his
flute,
And romance dies, I hope, I, too, am
dead.
When exiled Beauty leaves her na-
tive shore,
And bare of canvas artists' easels
stand;
When songs of poets shall be heard no
more,
Then may I, too. depart my native
land.
When mystic dreamers shall have
ceased to dream.
And dust is then what once was
Phoebus’ bow ;
When lights no longer in the temples
gleam,
Then may I also cease, and with
them go.

EPWORTH LEAGUE PICNIC
CHAPTER III—Continued
"You won’t leave me, Bob?" he plead
edpathetically, clinging to Bob's arm.
"No," said Bob simply. "I'll see you
through, old man!"
“Afterwards—” Jim nodded with a
wan smile,"I’ll go away with you. I'll
never accept—that baby—It killed—
Its mother. It has killed its father,
too"
Mrs. O’Leary, alone in the little par-
lor. uprose to meet them from the
armchair In which she had kept a fit-
ful vigil through the night. Her kind-
ly eyes fixed on Jim’s face with con-
cern. and gleamed with relief when
she saw that he was crying.
“Won’t you take the little one now,
Jimmy boy?" she smiled sorrowfully,
proffering the infant.
Jim’s grief seemed on the point of
congealing again, as, without glancing
at the baby, he repulsed it, and walk-
ed to the mantel where he stood with
his soul dissolving out of his eyes as
he stared at a framed picture of his
wife; which, Bob saw, was the same
as the one in the mail car. Bob mov-
ed up and stood beside Jim; looking
at the picture, too, and with eyes that
without any foreknowledge on his
part were also wet.
j "About the - kid— " he began humb-
| ly, in a low monotone .avoiding with
t lie instinctive psychology of man to
I man comforting any direct or influenc
ing look at Jim or any tone of senti-
mental pleading, “there’s this to re-
member, old man. He was your
wife’s happiest desire. She paid a
damnably big price for him. Her flesh
her blood her bones—life on in him.
I There’s too much of her—in him for
I you to turn him down, Jim. Taking
j care of him is the price you’ll have to
pay to' redeem her sacrifice."
It was a queer scene in that little
i room, hallowed by the ancient snefi
i fice that had been made by the one
I
now no longer warm with life—with
the shabby and unshaven hobo, a
wanderer on life’s fringes, dominating
a homely little everyday tragedy.
Bob quickly lifted file picture from
the mantel and held it close to Jim,
who made a loving but futile effort to
see it through his film of tears.
"Look at this picture, Jim—then
look at that baby!" Bob counseled
gently, again prompted somehow by
an inner fancy that he could not un-
derstand himself.
Great quivers shook Jim as he step-
ped unsteadily to Mrs. O'Leary and,
bending over the infant, tried to see
its face, which was thus baptized in
the clean tears of his father’s agony.
With quick, hungry tenderness he
lifted the baby into his thin arms,
then turned an dlooked at Bob stream
ingly.
"Looks—just—like his mother," he
sobbed proudly.
CHAPTER IV
"You probably haven’t forgotten.
Bob,” said Jim one day about three
weeks after his wife’s funeral, "that I
told you l was going away with you—
on the road, auywhere, everywhere—
just as soon as things here were
settled."
Bob nodded from a comfortably in-
dolent position flat upon his back with
a humorous foreknowing twinkle In
his eye .though bis face remained
gravely attentive, and he looked at
Jim expectantly.
"Well," said Jim honestly and with-
out a trace of sheepishness, "I can’t
go through with It."
The two men were seated on the
neat green lawn of the little postage
stamp backyard of the Fowler cottage
In the limpid sunshine of a rare June
day, making woeful efforts to retrieve
their boyhood skill at mumbly-peg. It
was by these little artifices that Bob,
in his interest and liking for the
slender, almost effeminately intense.
mail clerk had contrived during the
at ut<- da>> uf Jim's bereavement to
keep him out of dangerous moods of
ingrowing melancholic brooding to
which he was predisposed.
