he returned to his morning paper. Thir.
ty minutes passed, but the boys did not
come down stairs, and, thinking they
were up e. some mischief, he went
quietly TO their room, opened the door,
and was startled to see them sitting up
in bed with a deck e cards between
them, playing sevcn-up. He did not say
anything further than 10 tell them that
breakfast was ready, but he immedi-
atcly sought his wife and confided to
her what he had discovered. They held
a consultation and decided that ii would
be- best for the mother to talk TO them.
When the morning meal was finished,
she talked with her boys long and seri-
ously on tho evils Of card playing, and
concluded by saying that sho would
trust 90 the elder enc 70 dispose Of the
deck they had some time during the
day With that the subject was dropped

said to him, Harold, did you dispose
of those cards?"
