Suddenly a long, gleaming, sinuous body of a six-foot black snake wound into the picture, the old Satan of the old Garden of Adam, weaving his evil way into this new garden of the birds on tho borders of Cleveland. I hurried bacei: to my study, hot of heart, and began to write. But I dare not write out of a hot heart for fear I write without my head. Yet I cannot write at all out of a cold heart. Neither heart nor head alone could be trusted with such a theme.

Inside the post-box lay my letters, among them. one from Our Dumb Animals;- 1 opened the letter, all love and mercy, and looked down at the reptile all confusion and purpose contending within me. For the letter read. “Write something for Our'Dumh Animals.” And I cried “What shall I write?” And the dead snake 1n the dust answered, “Write me!

Why not? Simply because it was a snake.
