 North face wore as he reached this conclusion. He did not even attempt to deceive himself by the consistently 1ippant tone of his reflections; he was perfectly well aware that it was as- suned as 9 slight relief from the sharp anxiety and suspense that he had been enduring from the moment when the suspicion Of his brothers eomplicity in the Dunkirk will forgery first entered his mind
 It was the habit of Allan North's life to treat even the most serious phases of his experience with cynical levity that would have shocked anyone who was accustomed to estimating sober realities at their true value and treating them accordingly. Thus far it was the best philosophy that kc had learned. and he clung to it as fondly ;.s child clings to a painted toy. Fortunately. such 2 state of mind is neither fatal nor per- manent. In the consummate maturity of heart and mind there is little room or toleration for the frivolities of ad- oleseence- With the first inspiration Of vigorous perfected mental growth that thistledown cynicism is blown away.

 This was too obviously a satire, and Mr. Wescott's anger rose to q white heat: but smothcring it sufficiently to muttc-: Its all vcry well. but therc'll be an end to it before long,'' he re- turned savagoly to his writing and vouchsafcd TO further answer to North. The silence which tbereupon ensued was as welcome to the latter as Wees Eercilcsa ;att,-l1 had been unexpected.
