There is an itching sensat-oh in tie

that humanity goes 10 sleep through
its heels: II 50. all theories thus far

the BowSer theory take their places.
Draft 81 cu.d continues. Must the
human Scalp become cooled off before
sleep Will come? This line of thought
is worth following.
Right leg suddenly gave a jerk.
Left leg sc"med to want to get up

On Brink of a Discovery.
81 don't want to rush things. but it
seems t. me that I am on the brink Of
an important discovery.
Il have just felt Il twitching Of the
ears.
The jerk Of the right leg has been
renewed.
In my thoughts l had gone back to
bOyhood days when both legs suddenly
drew up at once as if l was trying %
climb a ladder.
A. the above motions were follow
ed by a'numb feeling in the back OF
my neck nothing is yet decided.
More twitching Of the ears.

The body seems to be almost asleep,

1T seems to me that there are cats
in the kitchen downstairs, but, OF
| course. this is impossible. Am l to dis
| cover that one has TO think Of cats fof
half an hour or so before slumber will
come? If so, the statement is bound tC
make q great sensation.
Have tried to turn my thoughts into
various other channels, but they arbi-
trarily return to cats.
L think | hear cats softly ascending
the basement stairs.
Il think l hear them in this very
room.
Il think they are led by our owl

Failed to Announce Theory.
But the data ended there. Yells OF
terror brought Mrs. BOwser, who haC
not vet gone to bed, downstairs, aDC
the sight that greeted her eyes was :
lively one. She had left the back doo1
open in turning out the cat. and he, fol
lowed by half a dozen others OF hi!
tribe, had entered to see how Mr.. Bow
ser's theory was panning out. Som
disagreement took place after they ha(
reached the sitting ROOM, and as The
lounge seemed to lie the strategic pOin
all made for it, and MI. Bowser wa
instantly buried under a mass Of fight
ing cats.
Why Try to picture the situation il
words? Why seek to reproduce hi
yells and whoops and swear words
Why give the details of the wild fee
ing and the wider pursuit and the Ian
guage addressed to the laughing Mrs
Bowser when the last feline ha'
struck the snOwdrifts in the BAG
yard? Let it suffice that the Bowse
theory on how sleep ONE has not ye
been put forth to the world. and h
may never again seek to solve it.
