The visitors disappear. The golden rod beside the meadow droops and withers on its stem. The maples blaze in glory and die. The evening closes dark and chill, and in the gloom of the main corner of Mariposa the Salvation Army around a naphtha lamp lift up the confession of their sins and that is autumn.

The well-patronised ostriches and motorcars flickered round in a pulsing rhythm; black, black, black, before the naphtha flares. Mr.
