by George!" he grunted, as he
reached his own room; and his thought
was that living with person SO sensi-
tive to kindly raillery might prove
lugubrious. He went to the window
and looked through the darkness to
the great silhouette of his grandfa7
theirs house. Lights were burning over
there, upstairs; probably his newly
arrived uncle was engaged in talk with
the Major.
Georges glance lowered, resting cas-
ually upon the indistinct ground, and
he beheld some vague shapes, unfa-
miliar to him. FOrmless heaps, they
seemed; but, without much curiosity,
he supposed that sewer connections or
water pipes might be out of order,
making necessary some excavations.
Not greatly disturbed, he pulled down
the shade, yawned, and began to I'M
dress, leaving further investigation for
the morning.
But in the morning he had forgotten
all about it, and raised his shade, to
let in the light, without even glancing
toward the ground. Not until he had
finished dressing did he look forth
from his window, and then his glance
was casual. The next instant his at
titude became electric, and he ran
from his room, plunged down the
stairs, out Of the front door, and, upon
a nearer view of the destroyed lawn,
began to release profanity upon tile
breezeless summer air, which remained
unaffected. Between his mothers
house and his grandfathers, excava-

houses were in process, each within a
few feet of its neighbor.

have considered a treat; but as the
fanatic orator continued the mono
logue, a gentleman in fiannels emerged
upward from one of the excavations,
and regarded him contemplatively.

inquired with some interest. "You
must have learned quite number of

Here is a famous Chinese humorous
story. A traveller stopped at house
and asked for a cup of tea. Having
nor-e on hand. the host sent his son
out to procure some. Meanwhile the
hostess put a pot of water on the fire
to boil. The son did not return, and
Il became necessary to add some more

husband: "Inasmuch as the tea does
