When Tom deemed II dark enough
for a judicious exit the wet earth was
as fragrant as a flower. He shifted 1t
joyously through the open window by
which he had entered, The garden

1t had been lighter yet when he arriy-

out of the window legs first and back

turned around he beheld standing on
the yellow path between the two ca
mails and quizzically regarding him the
quaintest and the tiniest old gentle
man he had ever encountered.

feet high, but he carried himself su'
perbly and fixed the intruder with a

IT sounds all right for a man
to say that he believes in certain
policies for the government, but
when he presumes to say that all
who do not agree with him are
wrong, he goes a step too far,
and close investigation will re-
veal the fact that he is narrow
minded and therefore cannot
have the best conception Of what
should be the policy Of anything.
