ITIHE patient, an old-fashioned man, JL thought the nurse -made a mistake la keeping both of the windows open, and her , eprifhtly disregard ot his protests added something to his hatred of her. Every evening he told her that anybody with ordinary sumption ought to realize that night air was bad for the human frame. "The human, frame won't stand everything. Miss Perry." he warned her. resentfully, "Even a child, if it had just ordinary gump tion, ought to know enough not to Jet the night air blow"n sick people yes, nor well people, either I 'Keep out of the night air, no matter how well you feel.' That s what my mother used to tell me when I was a boy. 'Keen out of the night air, Virgil,' she'd say. "Keep out of the night air" "I expect probably her mother told her the same thjng,' the nurse suggested. "Of course she did. My grand mother" "Oh, I guess your grandmother thought so, Mr. Adams 5 That was when all this flat central country was ewampish and hadn't been drained off yet. I guess the truth must " have been the swamp mosquitoes bit peo ple and game 'em malaria, especially before they began to put screens in their windows. Well, -we got ssreens In these windows, and no mosquitoes are go in' to bite' us;so Just you be a good boy and rest your mind and go to sleep like you need to." "Sleep?" he said. "Likely!" "He thought the night air worst of all in April; he hadn't a doubt it would kill him, he declared. "It's miracu lous what the human frame will sur vive," he admitted on the last even ing of that month. "But you and the doctor ought to both be taught it won't stand too dang much! You poison a man and poison and poison him with this April night air" "Can't poison you with much more of it," Miss Perry interrupted him. indulgently. "Tomorrow it 11 be May night air, and I expect that'll be a lot better for yeu, don t you? Now let's Just sober down and be a good boy and get some nice sound sleep." She gave him his medicine, .and. .having set the glass -upon the center- table, returned to her cot, where, after a still interval, she snored faintly. Upon this, hia expression became that of a roan goaded out of overpowering weariness into irony. "Sleep? Oh, certainly, thank you !" However, he did sleep intermittent ly, drowsed between times, and even dreamed ; but, forgetting his dreams before he opened his eyes, and having some part of him all the while aware of his discomfort, he believed, as usual, that he lay awake the whole night long. He was conscious of the city as of some single great creature resting fitfully in the dark outside his windows. It lay all round about. In the damp cover of its night cloud of smoke, and tried' to keep quiet for a few hours after midnight, but was too powerful a growing-thing ever, to lie altogether ' still. - Even while it strove to sleep it muttered with diges tions of the day before, and these already merged with, rumblings of the morrow. "Owl" cars, bringing In last paesengers over distant trolley lines, -now and then howled on a curve; far away metallic, stirrings .could be heard from factories in the sooty suburbs on the plain outside the. city. ; east, west, and south, switch - engines chugged and snorted on sidings ; and everywhere in the air there seemed to be a faint, voluminous hum as of innumerable wires trembling overhead to vibration of machinery under ground. . ' In his youth Adams might have been less resentful of sounds such as these when they interfered, with his night's sleep: even during an illness he might have taken some pride in them as proof of his citizenship in a "live town"; but at 65 he merely hated them because they kept him awake. They "pressed on his nerves," as he put it; and so did almost everything else, for that matter. He heard the milk wagon drive Into the cross street beneath his windows and stop at each bouse. The milkman carried his Jars round to the "back porch," while the horse moved slowly ahead to the gate of the next, customer and waited there, "He's gone into Pol locks'," Adams thought, following this progress. "X hope it'll sour on 'em before breakfast. Dellevered the Ander sons'. Now he's getting out ours. Listen to the darn brute ! What's he care who wants to sleep !" His com plaint was of the horse, who casually shifted weight with a clink of steel shoes on the worn brick pavement of the street, and then heartily shook himself in his harness, perhaps to dislodge a fly far ahead of its season. Light had Just filmed the windows ; and with that the first sparrow woke, chirped instantly and roused neighbors in the trees of the small yard, includ ing a Joud-voiced robin. Vociferations began irregularly, but were soon unani mous. t ' "Sleep? Dang likely now. ain't it' Night sounds were, becoming day sounds ; the far-away hooting4 of freight engines seemed brisker than an hour ago in the dark. A cheerful whistler passed ' the house, even more careless of sleepers than the milkman's horse had been ; then . a group of colored workmen came by, and although it was Impossible to be sure whether they were jocose. Loose, aboriginal laughter preceded them afar, and beat on the air long after they had gone y.
