mo; his story is brief, unique, but
very tragic. Two years after his cleo
ton to the professorship he fell in love
with the rather blue but lovely daugh-

one cOnditiOn-namely, that the we'd

a mans first aim for the sake of those
dependent upon him should be self

"Well, Wallis consented. Apart from
his intense devotion of the girl, this
new theory quite cOrreSpOnded with
his own conviction; and so it was ar
ranged that the two of them should on
the following Monday start their cru

ague; by the end of the first six months
they were halfway through the first
letter, and they spent their Christmas
holiday In the throes of an induced
asthma amid bronchitis kettles, Wheel

"At what stage are they now?
"Well, not together. At first they
kept company moderately we'll, but
parted at cholera; since then, first he,
then she, would make the running,
passing each word as it were with nod
and word of sympathy. Just now the

when do they hope to finish?'
Il asked Wallis the other day and he
tells me that, given good lymph and
some luck, the whole thing should be
over in about four years, but the curse
of the system lies in the new discoveries
that are made annually. Wallis had,
only last month to go back to fish poi

the nicrobe of hay fever was differ
entiated."
But here comes Wallis; he looks
worse than ever. Ill go and speak to
him."
