replied that she had come to take my

tory was situated. Archer was an
able, energetic and ambitious young
man who had been brought into my
service about two years before to be
Donaldson's assistant and tighten his
burdens. He lived at my house and
was the leading spirit In all our recre.
atoms. He was blessed with unfailing
activity Of mind and body. He could
both work md play at the same time.
Often he has come 70 me at midnight
with business plans that he had
thought out during the evening, an
evening devoted to ceaseless gayety of
the somewhat childish sort in which
he found his chief delight and relaxa-
ton. He was an enthusiast for the
gentler forms Of athletics. such as wo-
men may indulge in. and as a result
of his efforts there were tennis courts
upon our lawn and golf links on the
south slope Of the hill.
