FIR!" thundered Dr. Johnson. “You area fool!” And the lean, long4aced Scotchman whom he addressed smiled meekly and made a mental note of the great man’s words. = In fact, it was by making euch mental notes thet James Boswell—who was sneered at as “Johnson's shadow"—is remembered to- day. It was on account of his flattery and slavieh devotion that Dr. Johnson,’ the lexicographer genius, tolerated him. By way of recompense, it was Bos- ) well who made Johnson immortal. A comfortable arrangement all around. Boswell was the lawyer eon of a Scotch Judge, and he roused his father’s disgust by preferring any part of the world to Scotiend, and any other profession to law. He was not the sort of man, apparently, to attract women, Yet he had countless love affatts, and he boasted openly of them. The names of some of the women ere forgotten. Some, unluckily, are not, For instance, when he was only eighteen he had « violent flirtation with a girl known to history only as “Mies W.” Then he fefl in love with @ gardener's daughter.

Too sure, for he neglected her shamefully. Then when he came back egain from his wanderings to bask in her love, #he fitted him, Boswell, emarting under this rejection, carried his Oruteed self-esteem to his cousin, Margaret Montgomerte, whose pity for him quickly bloomed into fove. He and (Margaret were married, an@ he proceeded to prove himself one of the most worthless husbands on record. Nor was the fault all his. For Margaret, like Zelide, had @ good hot temper.
