THF. PATTER OF THE SIIIXGLE
J. M. m ’ c AL
When th« angry passion gathering in my
mother’s face I see.
And she leads mo in the bedroom—gently
lays mo on her knee,
Then I know that I will catch it, and mv
flesh in fancy itches,
As I listen for the patter of tho shingh on

the Btrain
Played by her and by .he shingle, in a wild
and weird refrain.

black eyes, removing the rusty wig
from a profusion of chestnut brown
curls, and spurning the wadded flannel

Kate, in great agitation, rose to her
