   The fire crackled and leaped higher, casting more light on the ghastly scene. The moon rose higher and higher over the horizon until the grosteque figure formed by the shadows stood directly above the Joker. The light cast by the fire played over the now glazed eyeballs and revealed the happy smile on the unearthly face of the former millionaire. The Joker had dreamed once more! The wind, softly rustling through the leaves of the trees, seemed to whisper, "Dreams do come true, don't they, Joker?" The Joker didn't answer, for his last dream -- that of death -- had come true.

      THE STORM LOVER
                   by
         Fred W. Fischer

- Tennessee - 
- Verse - 

     The eagles soar round 
     Theda's tomb
     At the top of yon lofty crag, 
     And the high winds shriek
     o'er the topmost peak
     A-wailing like a hag. 

     Wild was the night of 
     Theda's doom
     When she climbed that 
     storm-lashed rock; 
     The red lightning flashed
     and the thunder crashed 
     As she stood the Gods to
     mock. 

     Ah! Theda loved the rolling
     boom 
     Of turmoil in the sky, 
     And the stinging pain of the
     driving rain
     Roaring from on high. 

     Theda leaped from the
     precipice
     Into the wind's embrace -- 
     The wind soared high with a
     joyous sigh
     To fling her in a daze
     To the scarp below and in
     ice and snow
     Dull the challenge of her 
     eyes. 

     So Theda lies now in a tomb
     On the edge of the deep
     abyss
     Where her spirit haunts the
     heavens with taunts
     And feels the killer wind's 
     kiss.
