the warnings has not endowed us with
Intelligence enough to understand it.
Much could not be expected from boy
Of Is, though even he might have seen
something had he taken the trouble to
look. But in no way was the superior
Of other boys. Power was not given
me to peer behind the curtain of the
future.
That night passed very pleasantly.
We drove into Maidenhead, as arrang-
ed; had dinner there and afterward
visited the entertainment, over which,
l remember, roared' with laughter.
l would give something to be able t.
laugh now over such imbecilities, but
think all the laughter died in me that
night. Just as some men dissipate
wildly before they blow their brains
out or crack jokes in the face of death,
so drew l the longest, loudest and last
note of laughter out of me on that oc-
casion-that is, laughter free of
thought, Of intellectual restraint. Some
times l would like to laugh, but re-
Numbering l stop as one who has no
right to be merry. The bone clapping
Christy is to me sight as sad as
death itself; the jar and jingle of the.
tambourine set every nerve in me shud-
dering.
The drive back after the perform
ance was delightful, albeit that the
night was very dark. But it was a.
clear, good road, our horse was a sure
footed beast, and Uncle Jim, who Was.
an excellent whip, knew every inch Of
the way. So we dashed along in fine
style, the great lamps projecting theirs
glare into the gloom beyond. My un-
Gle had lit his pipe, and being, like my
self, in excellent spirits he chanted
snatches of the comic songs we had
but lately heard. And yet over there
through the, darkness, where we could
not see, what was happeningq Oh,
heavens! -
: I slept so soundly that night that T.
did not wake until close upon 9>o'clock
Of the following morning, and then It
was the opening Of my door that caus-.
ed me to raise my heavy eyelids. There
stood Uncle Jim, the inevitable pips-
between his lips. 49,.

smiling vista in which there was no
