pleasant un hurried voice the anecdote he told was familiar to john though he gave the appearance of listening in tently his mind was occupied with the task of fitting together from what he had heard of him from what he had observed a clear un derstanding of gays father as he thought of her he heard her voice are you getting along you two splendidly her father said have you been telling john dis graceful episodes in my past she came toward them walking quickly and lightly through a shaft of sun light touched john s arm in pass ing went to sit on the arm of her father s chair the young are selfcentered david graham said no my dear jve been talking about the days when i was young and not so hand some i ve enjoyed it but john has probably been bored not at all sir i expected that you d either bo leading john through the art gallery or that you d be sitting here in utter silence you underestimate the privilege it is to me to be permitted to talk without being interrupted i suppose so she was silent for a moment then asked have you told john dad john saw david graham s expres sion alter the diffdence he had lost while he had talked of john s uncle returned he glanced at john almost he thought watching in apology then up at gay consider ingly no he said i haven t it s about getting a place for you in the research department at johns hopkins gay said eagerly that is what you want john beard the hesitancy in david gra ham s voice saw the considering expression in his eyes i d hoped that i might work and study there he said slowly it a seemed pretty far in the future to make definite plans there will be an opening for you the first of the year i ve been in communication with the authorities your training and ability will be investigated of course but that s largely a matter of course grandfather had an operation there gay s voice was excited and happy considerate of him wasn t it john looked directly at david gra bam i appreciate what vou ve done fae said but i couldn t accept a place there the first of the year gay has told me david gra ham s embarrassment visibly in creased but i we she seemed to think that some arrangement rfight bfe made isnt it possible

obliga tkm dr sargeant madefit possible for me to complete my medical course and that was the stipulation but if it s only a question of money gay s color deepened and her eyes were very br rht couldn

wouldn t be time to break in another assistant even if even if you could swallow your she broke oh her eyes blaz- ing her chin held high gently gay divid grahams face was very troubled this is a decision which john must make they were staring at each other like strangers john thought antag onisrn humming between them in vibrations acros the dim richly furnished room but he could not he would not yield it was not he told himself entirely pride not only stubbornness there was a deeper reason something he was unable to analyze fully it had to do with all the other pressures being ex erted upon him by this ufe into which he had been ptungm i m sorry he said conscious ui david grahams ayes fixed upon him in compassion i cant break that promise gay dr sargeant is depending oo me i cant

some titntf another product that is four urw inateaxf of including a spare dally delivery we may be- asked to do with a delivery three times each week at the moment it is dimcultlo see where the advantage of thls rangeraent comes in ine bread sales man would have twice as much to do each dayaa he would have under the daily delivery system it would take him longer to make his rounds and then he would have nothing at all to do the other three days it would be the same with the baker he would likely be idle three days each week also the delivery of bread has been overdone during these last few ywap anyway due to competition and per haps a slowing up in this service was coming to us the person that was brought up on homemade bread that was baked once a week is the one that wants bakers bread featr ayery day no doubt the idea is mat they think that they have eaten their share of stale bread less fresh bread should be an advantage as it is much easier digested when older as though re strictions regarding delivery wasn t enough we understand that fewer kinds of bread and fewer shaped loaves will likely be the rule before long when the slicing of bread was prohibited that ruling- was received without any kicks at all and no doubt these later rulingswill go over just as easily at the moment it looks as though there may be a good many more restrictions made before thla world war is won as we wkite these lines the weather is not at all chxlstmasy we associate snow and cold weather with christmas and yet lately lhe holiday reason seems to be milder than it us cd to be last year the weather was especially mild at christmas time christmas turns ones thoughts to tne chris unasce or other vears and we ecall the precar dajs when the team and sleigh was the usual meansof go ng ojt

work accurately work swiftly to be an improvement yet we don t think that we enjoy the dinner any more today and we very much doubt if we are any happier one advan tage those old days was that the whole world wasn t engaged in war at least the word war seems to be the exact opposte of the word christmas per haps by the time that another christ mas has rolled around tis war may be over- we
