But. though they would not talk about their Individual cuts. the Iuhject of New Year resolutions wu so present to their minds that It nuurnlly colored their con- versation. The New Year was due within an hour. and the lnseparables were sitting up to welcome its arrival. The lnseparabies were three young men of con- genial tastes. and they owed their name to the tact that they spent all their leisure together. They belonged to the same social set, to the same societies. and their friendship was so gener- ally recognized that when a committee of three was needed at any gathering they were iavariably ap- pointed in a bunch. So it was only natural that they should be sitting up together to see the New Year in. But, though they were entirely congenial, It would have been evi- dent to any keen obsvrver that on this occasion they had something on their minds. Moreover. it would not have been hard to de- termine what that some thing was. They had each made good resolu- tions for the coming year, and. though they were the best of friends. they did not exchange coniidences, for every man hates to talk of his good resolutions, because they ' are so hard to keep. and the breaking of them gives rise to so much chalng. Still, a careful observer could have made a shrewd guess at the nature of their reso- lutions had he been admitted to the chm-med circle. Charlie Hague. in whose room they were assembled. was ooddliag the cigar he was smoking with such lov- ing care and trying to get the last poul- bie whit out of it that it was not hard to decide that for a few weeks at least his consumption of tobacco would be materi- ally decreased. Tom Fielding was speak- ing with such strained precision that an attempt to give up slang was hinted at, and Jack Hasiam was so moroae that it was quite evident he had promised to make some great sacrifice for his Hill. thomrh thaw wnnll-I mu 9.11. .I.....- nnmr nnx-nan wme. nnolnln so. -jj Well worthy of ievieh patronage by evety Japan Tee dzfnker on j `the American continent, got because we say so, but because Molt whlmulcnll of "grlpuck knights.
