that was not all. for through the
golden darkness of closed lids drifted
by another host, visions evoked by those
passing, nameless wraiths, victims of
sins so scarlet they dare not be painted
or described. Since even realism at Its
worst dues not deal with the ultimate
evil. I wondered why It Is necessary to
rile the pool and skim the froth for our
edification, when the deeps are pro

law that shields human nature from It

was forced to question whether as it
! passed on. to be studied In minute de-
tall by the world outside, the lesson It
; taught might not quite aa often be one
of unbridled license, since It made the
whole world appeal hopelessly corrupt,
as a factor for good. 1 was quite will

had IirulllDted the maiorltv nf the work
but the majority was pitifully small and I
nothing but putrescence of mind could
account for the remainder It also ap- '

Just then a (lender rough little cone
dropped at my feet and I picked it up
to find that It was literally bursting
with good seed, seed that would scatter
from it over the forest Moor and grow
new trees wherever it went.
"Where do you come from':" I aeked.
"Look up!" called a lusty tree voice
above me, so 1 raised my .eyes, hut be
ing stiff hy nature, my neck would not
bend far enough to sue to the top of
that tree; I was forced to arise and
step far back Itl order to see the crown
of the tallest tree of the wood, but In it
I recognized the friend of a lifetime.
"I know you have something to tell
me." 1 said. "Whn are your charac
teristics and for whut book do you
stand ''"
Said tulip poplar: "My merits are

"Oood!" 1 cried. "You know tulip,
I love you. You are an Ideal tree. Come
anl tell me for which book do you
stand ?"
"For the book of pure Ideallam," an
nwered tulip poplar. "I stand for the
tallest, stralghteat book In the world.
With a heart of gold, a head of beauty
nd sweetness for every empty 'heart."
"Rut tulip," I Objected. "That's too

"Hut am I not here to prove it?" asked
tulip "Examine me and see for your
