Then very early one morning he took
it into his head to go over to the
Old Pasture. No sooner thought of
than of he started. Johnny is inclined
to be that way at this season. For
such a confirmed stay-at-home as he
is in summer, he does a lot of run

reached the Old Pasture without mis-
hap and spent the day there. Late
in the afternoon he started back for
the Green Meadows, but got no further

SYDNEY, N. s. w., Aug. 20.-
 Fred Briggs, former member of the Royal Australian Air Force, is mak- ing plans to ''get away from it all' and start cooperative commun- ity called the International Good will Settlement on Nukahiva, an island in the Marquesas Group. Hundreds Of inquiries have been received from all over Australia,
 but only 80 were accepted. Each
 was able to pass a rigid medical test and is ready to contribute $400 to a community chest.
 The island is AT miles square and is said to be rich in vegetables and animal life. Its former native inhabitants are non -existant.
 Although Nukahiva would sup
 port us without our needing to do
 stroke of work" he said, i've
 don't propose to be idle. We shall build houses, graze stock and per- haps to do little trading in island
 produce. And there is always fish
 to be found" Briggs says.

I gotta feel sorry for my self. I gotta sit around with my chin in my hand, feeling like the drag end of Gloomy Sunday and wondering what Blue Monday s gonna be like.
 Nobody has a better time than l do, but next day there's a lily in my hand. And that's utsnay, if you ask me. Here I am back from as pleasant a stay as I was ever on, in Connecticut it was, and instead of feeling keenly reminiscent and alive, instead of bubbling over with suppressed energy and ex- citement, I am lost in apathy, kin dred to whipped houn' dog.

Today the windows, little diamond-shaped squares of stained glass, like those in cathe- drals, are dusty and dim.

The rambler rose may be beautiful to Robert Burns, but it is only a blossom to me, and a thorny one at that. This metropolis may be a magic city to others, replete with romance and glamor, but it doesn't thrill me. Not today it doesn't. To- morrow = that's something else again. But today it's only a big dull town. There's no savor to the ghoulash. All the blush has gone from the peach. FH
 There's something else, too, that makes me feel pretty bad passed ghost on the street just now the ghost of the old White Horse Tavern. Coming across 45th Street I just happened to look up and caught sight of a sign.

It was picturesque and it was well managed. You had to have credentials to get past the door, and the attendants looked like fox hunters in scarlet coats There was an ancient darkie inside named Chester who banged little two-by-four piano and sang any song you wanted to hear. They tried him out one night and he sang 167 requests without repeating himself. That's coming through the rye.
