closely. Finally, he signsd the document
that restored the prisoner to lib rtv Be-
fore he handed it to him, he saida You

you to pledge your word that when you
are mate again, you Will never take a
billet of wood in your hand and drive a
your boat on a stormy night The

ure OF several OF the magazines. Diner
ent processes are used. usually lithog-

"three-color process" The Century has
always got its color effects from tint
blocks, printed in the same way as the
rest of the m~agazine-that ia, one color
at a time. on regular type presses The
expense is very great. for II means that
the color part of the magazine must be
run through the presses perhaps hair a
dozen times. Better paper is used. and In
the case OF a large circulation like the
Century's the printing must begin months
In advance of issue. The color work in
