Summary of Events During the Mas
ter's Second Absence.

OF the heavy sickness which de
clared itself next morning, l can
think with equanimity as of the last
unmingled trouble that befell my
master; and even that was perhaps
mercy in disguise; for what pains
of the body could equal the miseries
of his mind? Mrs Henry and / had
the watching by the bed. My old
lord called from time to time to take
the news, but, would not usually pass
the door. Once, | remember, when
hope was nigh gone. he stepped to
the bedside, looked while in his
sons face, and turned away with
singular gesture of the head and
hand thrown up, that remains upon
grief and such scorn of sublunary
things were expressed. But the most
of the time, Mrs. Henry and | had
the room to ourselves, taking turns
by night and bearing each other
company by day, for it was dreary
watching.
Never a word did be utter of his
father or his wife. nor of the master,
save only for a day or two, when his
mind dwelt entirely in the past and
he supposed himself boy again and
upon some innocent childs play with
his brother. What made this the more
affecting: it appeared the master had
then run some peril of his life, for
there was a cry-'Oh, Jamie will be |
drowned-oh. save Jamiei" which he |
came over and over with a great deal |
of passion
Finding no occasion of free speech, |
| bethought me at last of kind OF /
documentary disclosure; and for some |
nights when | was off duty and should
have been asleep | gave my time to
the preparation of that which | may
call my budget.
But this | found to be the easiest
namely. the presentation to
my lady. almost more than l had for
titude to overtake. Several days |
went about with nay papers under my
arm, spying for some juncture of talk
to serve as introduction. | will not
deny but that some offered; only
when they did, my tongue Glove to
the roof of my mouth; and ! think J
might have been carrying about my
packet till this day, had not a fortu-
nate accident delivered me from all
my hesitations. This was at night,
when | was once more leaving the
room, the thing not yet done, and my
self in despair at my own cowardice.
What do you carry about with you,
Mr. Mackellar?" she asked. "These
last days, see you always coming in
and out with the same armful" II

Uncle Wiggily.
Just as the bunny gentleman was
about to cut the pic II rough voice
cried:
"Why don't Won invite a person
to have II bit of pie?"

in the doorway stood the Blaekcat-
a chap like a big weasel only almost
as large as the Bob Cat.

"You IL have TO take few steps,

the rabbit. Thep, with IA quick
motion, he upset the box of sharp
nut shells on the floor, right where
the Blackcat, with his soft and ten
der paws, would have to step in
them.
"Oh, wouch! Oh, wow Oh, WOW -
howled the Blackcat as he felt the
sharp nut shells on his paws. "Oh,
l'this is terribler' And with that he
ran out of the bungalow, without a
piece of pie or so much as teeny-
weeny bit of an ear nibble.

he swept them up into the dustpan.

writer in Life humorously suggests certain
Memoranda for an International Agreement on Book
Borrowing" Three of the suggestions come so close
home to the experiences of many dlsusloned book
lender that they merit serious repetition.
"Subletting of borrowed books shall be made
capital offense.
Borrowers who underscore words and phrases or
who make pencilled marginal notations such as How
true or Fine shall be isolated for ndeerminate per-
iods
Borrowers found guilty of the habitual use of
scissors rulers papercuters other bulky objects as
bookmarks shall be put on probation
Neither borrower lender be- is advice
which should not be rigidly applied by book owners.
There is something very gracious and pleasant in shar

worthy the name would deface or abuse a borrowed

such DETACHMENT. The privilege of borrowing books

MORE NAVAL DISARMAMENT

There is sound idea in the amendment tackled
onto the naval appropriation bill by the House of Rep
resentatives asking the President to negotiate with
foreign powers with view to limiting construction of
warcraft under 10000 TONS
This would be reasonable extension of the dis
armament policy adopted last winter at the Washing
ton arms conference. The frenzied competition in bat
Italy ratified the treaty, as America, England and
Japan had done. There are also limitations big
cruisers. But there is still open competition in the
smaller craft, particularly light cruisers and submar
ines
Fortunately they do not cost so much dread
noughts. But it is expensive to cover the with
them, and the competitive multiplication of any type
of fighting craft invites trouble.
The only thing that really counts is the ratio If
all the naval powers reduce at the rate the only
change in the situation is less expense and less provo
cation to
1t will be necessary, too, before long, to apply
this idea to aircraft The air is becoming the chief
