When he puts the right place on his pillow his toes poke ~ out at the other end, and when he draws them indoors his head bumps against the canvas. Well, he went out fishing. We used to “row around in little boats. He went to catch fish and he brought back a deer— what do you think of that? A deer, three miles from shore. The current had car- ried him out and the leutenant carried him back, so the deer played in hard luck, but we had venison for dinner, all right, all right.

The head of it is a polished cocoanut—prettiest wood you ever saw: dark as black walnut and veined with white. It plays all right, too. I went over to see Ta Inga and T played her “Aguiraldo’s March,” and I won her in the first bar. Maybe you think she 8 you wait till you hear me play that march on my cocoanut mando- lin. I didn’t know that the matter was seri- ous, though, until oid Nut Gai came to tell me about her. By jingo! i the old fel- low didn’t come to explain to me what a good worker she was! “Can work,” he sald emphati eas: ally, and L e e e e e e e g THE SRCRET HE week beginning on Sunday, March 23, will be ruled by Mars, and this influence in conjunction with the Sun and Saturn, will prodpce trouble and strife.
