wife, comfortably reclining in an
other roller chair, was engaged in an
animated discussion of Brazilian beet

she vas not taking with ono OF the

the young man who was pushing her

was absorbing knowle lge from
every possible source her liege lord
was snoozing away in blissful isnor-

rocking motion of the chair was too
much for him and he yielded to the
allurements of sweet slumber. His
chair bumped against the corner Of

fact and to show her prominence

didn't do something with these big
green beetles they would soon over.
