daybreak before I fell asleep again in

until the steward announced the last
breakfast call, by a vigorous rapping
on my door.
Darlington was seated alone at the
table when I entered the cabin, linger-
ing over his coffee, and he remained to
keep me company, seemingly in a gen.
ial mood in spite Of the delay.
He lit a cigar, and leaned comfort
ably back in his chair, looking amiably
across at me through the blue haze of
smoke.

cruise, don't you think?"

RELIMINARIES

One Of the setbacks Of a democracy
Is the wonderful array Of preliminaries
that seems necessary to every great
effort. Getting ready for something
very often takes up so much time and
energy that the final purpose is quite
forgotten. The greatest agents of hui
nan duty are those who devote little
or no time to preliminaries. They go
right at the work in hand and do the
thing needed, while others are talking
about the ways and means. This is
particularly the case in all government
duty and judicial transaction. The
getting ready is absorbing the very
energy that the final purpose demands.
If there is a worthless person in the
world it is the man who is always get
ting ready to do something. TITS the
same in public service. There are more
tom-fool preliminaries there than in
any department Of life. If we were a
high mogul In public authority, W.
would chop off all preliminaries ut the
start, says Ohio State Journal. We
would restrict effort to the object in
hand. We have known public func-
lions to spend n long, long time In
preliminaries and then close their CO.
reers by doing nothing else, That such
things should be IL the fault OF the
heightened citizenship.

The memory of that first meal in the

mains d most pleasant recollection.
The cabin had been darkened, and the
soft light of a swinging lamp cleaned
back from snowy damask and glitter
ing silver. The center was banked with
flowers, the service was perfection,
and the chef was evidently a genius.
