HEARD a valiant cardinal
Dark-red againSt the winter dawn,
He whistled from a leafless tree
Upon a barren lawn.

The tiny dauntless splotch o f red
Shot up a challenge Straight and high
A rocket-burSt o f silver Stars
To shower a winter sky.
The lia le brave, intrepid thing,
A conqueror o f cold and night,
He drenched the bare boughs suddenly
W ith color and with light:
A triumph and a victory
That I have come to understand.
I laughed, a broken laugh, and took
Life once more by the hand.

risively, then turned his attention
to the figure advancing along the
graveled footpath.
He was an old man, but his i
bearing was u pright and dignified.
His progress was leisurely and the
reason was evident. It was a white
cane he carried in his rig h t hand.
The tap-tap-tap of the m etal-
tipped w alking stick rang clear in
the afternoon a ir as the old man
felt his way along the b rick-
bordered path. He was w ithin ten
feet of the car when F ra n kie L i-

one on either side.
“ A ll right, gran'pop, ju s t take it
easy and do as you’ re told and
you won’t get h u rt,” F ra n kie L i- i
bold said. He prodded the old fel- 1
low with a blunt-nosed revolver.
"Ju st keep on w alkin ’ and act
