" In the ward Sillabil heard the
good lame man called Il "regl-

be Synonymous with boss which he
knew to mean somebody who was not

Brown the Captain, SillabiI felt
queer. He was not alarmed, for To be
alarmed you ought to have a thought,
and Sillabil hardly ever thought, his
latest thought having been a week ago
when he had seen his mother in a long
box which the women of the house
told him was for her TO sleep in and
that if he cried he might wake her.
Of course he wouldn't wake her, he
said, for she must be tired or she
wouldn't have fallen asleep over her
sewing machine, though the thought
Of week ago took the form of a ques-
ton: why did his mother go to sleep
in the long boX?' Then the women
of the house sent him out for a romp
with the Captain. When he got back
his mother was no longer there, and Il
man brought him to his present place
Of abode.
1t was the good lame man who liked
to kick him in order 10 see him jump
who told him that his mother was
sleeping under the daisies.
Sillabil would not ask where the
daisies We're, for that would be like
saying that his mother had neglected
to tell him. and his mother had never
neglected him.
you've got a nice name. too, Silla-
bill" said the good lame man. Its
only part of a big word, and you're
only a part of yourself. Something
up here, eh?' And he tapped himself
on the forehead. Sillabil was used to
people tapping their foreheads when
they spoke about him, and it looked
so wise that he had got into the habit

You understand" persisted the good
lame man, they're going to drown the
Captain. He can hardly see, can he?"
Eyes, he cam" Sillabil cried, "only his
eyes got hurt that time the house was
afire and he wouldn't leave me till l
was awake, and so he got burnt"
Hurry, Sillabil," urged the good
lame man, for it's nearly dark, and
they'll soon drown the Captain
1t was the work of a momentum

captain scrambling after him, limping
a little where he had fallen.
In vast haste Sillabil found the
shop around the corner.
Medicine for one legged Tom" he
said, placing on the counter the silver
coin that looked so much like the one
he had lost. And then. remembering
his wise act, he tapped his forehead
and nodded.
OF course they understood him, and
he took a small bottle and tied it to
the dangling string hanging over the
wall across which he and the captain
had come. The bottle disappeared.
Here comes the man after the Cap
tain!' a voice said, and Sillabil and
the Captain struck out How they did
run! There was new freedom about
It; no one to frown at you, as had been
the case for a week, no one to push and
jostle you. But where to go, where to
find the daisies! The good lame man

gresham Mudd has made a canvass
in keeping with his reputation for

he has made his fight with the

Mr.. Mudd can seduce our white
