Puss took a few steps around the

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
E

OF THE boys in Centre Newton,
~ Brown was the brains and Smith
the boss. Brown had been taken once
to the theater TO see julius Caesar;
and after that he always said that.
when he was old enough, he would
write plays like Shakespeare. Smith
laughed. Then Brown faid that one
day he would write a pay with Smith
in it.
The years passed. As Centre New
ton was used TO Smiths putting
through his" game while he was still
a~hov. so everyone thon0ht-it natural

that D-snould fnd the no--
the city when he left high school. Theh
he courted Lucy Gray, a whirlwind
campaign. OF course Lucy married
him. Smith was well used, by this
time, TO having his W way. AT the
wedding he reminded Brown of that
childhood determination TO write a
play-"And remember to put me IN
it" he ended loosely.
Then Brown went away. 1t was if
teen years before he came back to
Centre NewtoWn. In the newspaper,
the morning of his arrival, he read
name. John Smith, went the
caption. Pirate" Brown decided that
the time for his play had arrived. The
same evening he called at Smiths
mansion. The room in which he wait
ed for his host had a deep bay win
dow, and in it, so noiselessly had
Brown entered, two boys of thirteen
and fourteen went on whispering in
guarded voices.
HE won't know anything about il"
urged the first.
You know what he is when he
doesn't get his own way" said the
second.
Brown coughed and two guilty con-
spirators emerged. When they saw
Brown, they looked relieved. ooh :
We thought you were Father 7" said
they.
Then Smith came in. 1t was the
anne old Smith. Before Brown had

self TO enquire for Lucy. There was
a pause. and then an annoyed express
sion crossed Smiths face. You
haven't heard?' said he. MY wife
died several years ago"
Brown was quite unconscious OF
what passed after that for some min
utes. Then he realized that Smith
was asking him a question. 1T was
painted by that Frenchman who did
So many portraits in this country"
Smith was saying. as he pulled aside a
curtain. There before Brown stood
Lucy Gray after three years of mar
ried life. Brown almost groaned aloud.
He was reminded by some trick of
memory Of a wounded heron he had
nee found in the surf on the beach.
As he went slowly down Smiths
broad stairs, Brown knew that the
plot of his play was finished. As he
remembered the newspaper headlines,
and the frightened children and the
old portrait. he knew that his play
would be a tragedy. Smiths habit of
having his WI way had cheated hlnl-
self most of all.
