look at the situation. We can talk
further as we go, but let me add that,
unless you can calm yourself, you will
increase my difficulties considerably ;"
to which Mr.. Cheeseman replied that
now that Tarrant had taken the affair
In hand he felt easier.
On their way, Tarrant put a few
pertinent questions. Where" he asked,
did you last see this document, Mr..
Cheeseman?"

One night as by the fire l sat
I thought of this and thought of that, z.

And | saw it plain with memory's eye
That little log house old and gray
Where little boy l used to play.
I seemed to feel myself once more,
Happy and gay, as in days OF yore.
have tasted pleasures laughing cup,
I've drank the sparkling draught all up;
I've been in love, I've felt the bliss
When love responds with kiss for kiss.
I've often been to the festal den
With wine and women and sportive men,
Where testing talk and ribald song
Rang loud and deep the whole night long.
But all the pleasures rare and nne,
Enioyed when in our manhOod's prime,
Are nothing more than shams in truth
COMPARED with pleasures of our youth,
When we as care-free, happy boys,
Played in the house-lot with our toys,
Or in the meadow at the brook
We sat for hours with tiny hook,
And, oh, our hearts would thrill ana
bound
When a wriggling fish lay on the ground
would give what the world can't hold
To be boy as in days of old,
To sit once more in the meadow grass
And fish for the catfish and the bass.
But alas, alas, for me, alack,
The earth on its axis don't turn Dack'
And the happy hours the sweet, wild thrill
OF our boyhood days we long for still
Have gone from our life to come no more
And gladden. hearts as in days OF yore.

An amount of hustle unusual In the
