He turned away from the dawning

soundly until the breakfast hour. AS
he entered the dining room. his heart
gave sudden leap and stood still.

He did not read the details of the
accident. He merely noted the place
where it occurred. Then he folded
the paper and gave his order for
breakfast. II he ate little, no one
knew 1t. He took plenty of time for
It. He listened to the discussion of
the accident that went on as the
boarders, one after another, came in
to breakfast.
When he left the house he knew
that he had exactly half an hour TO
report his absence at the office and
catch the eastbound express. 1t was
more than enough. He did not want
to be alone and think. He saw before
him long years in which he would
have time to think. Today he must
go to her. He might be needed. He
had said that he would come if she
needed him. and that he should see
her soon-'1 shall see you soon"

Proper Way to Drive Nail

Another thing" continued the old
carpenter. 1.-The beginner generally
tries to drive his nails as perpendicu-
larly as possible. This is another
error, for nail driven little diagon-
ally holds the parts together much
more firmly than one driven perpen-
dicularly. And in driving a nail
diagonally it is even more necessary
to proceed with gentle taps, for hard
blows inevitably displace the surfaces
that are to be held together"

New York. Jan. 29.-The United
Master Butchers of America in a
statement given out here today decry
the meat boycott as 'misdrected
energy, which is defeating its own
end" The statement urges as a rem
edy the removal of the tariff on all
livestock II says in part:
1T is not the packer who receives
most severe blow from this boycott,
but fhe retail butcher, a man who
must earn his living ana support his
family through the sale of meat. Why
not go to the root of the evil; why not
check the cause of disease? The high
meat prices are due mostly to the
scarcity of live cattle. The national
government exacts tariff on live
stock, shutting out the outside sources
of supply. Therefore we demand in the
name of the great American consum-
ing public that the federal govern
ment take immediate steps to have the
duty on all livestock removed"
