The Attack on the Lazy S.

The Attack on the Lazy S.
It was late. The August night, was
cool and sweet after weary day of
intense heat. The door was thrown
wide open. It was good to feel the
night air creeping into the sitting
room. There was no light within; and
without, nothing but the brilliant stars
in the quiet, brooding sky. Williston
was sitting just within the doorway.
Mary, her hands clasped idly around
her knees, sat on the doorstep,
thoughtfully staring out into the still
darkness. There was a stir.
Bedtime, little GIRL" said Willis.

your screens. I promise that, always

Had it not been SO dark, Mary could
have seen the Wfstful smile on the
thin scholarly face. But though she
could not see It, she knew it was
there. There had been fairer hopes
and more generous promises ii the
past few years. They had all gone
the dreary way Of impotent striving,
of bitter disapp ointment. There was
