happens to it. he will undoubtedly
send OFF a narrowing syndicate letter to
all the Sunday editors this alarming
demonstration OF mental degeneracy OF
the twentieth century man. Even our
medical contemporary suggests the ad-
visibility of those who can ride in omni-
buses and who forget things of consulting
a physician. The more marvellous thing,
however. is that they do not forget far
more often than they do. Civilization has
suddenly increased a thouSand-fold the
necessary and synchronouS preoccupa-

ton was the predominant characteristic
of mental action before our time OF De-

Not to have learned the trick Of posing

rather OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of a difficult

the actual triviality of the amount OF for

the number of memory slips of the Lon

double the number of lost articles aud

Yes, l know you did. And | admitte

still it was a chance, and with Hildred

OF course, don't say you haven't a per-

would have expected you to DO, and it's

The young man was too much agitateA
to speak in an even tone, and it was
clear that even the tough old jor was
moved by his emotion. He got up from
his chair, walked up and down the smok-

short, holding on by the chair of the
younger man, though his sea legs were
steady enough.

Capt. Tarring said nothing. There was
so much feeling IN the majors voice,

respect the opinion expressed by him.

erably increased by something wAscn
happened later In the day.
