A shade of mock despair passed over his face, and picking a cherry, he exclaimed in his native dialect: "Dinna ye see that, mon? That red-faced, bald- headed, sleek, one-legged wretch? I'm an absolute slave to that diwil. So, I can na go, I can na go."

My dear Muir:

I hope you can send are good news of your daughter's health and let me know your whereabouts and your plans for the summer. Are you by any chance going to Mount Tacoma on that expedition of the Sierra Club? If so, we'd like to have a short article on the subject. We have had two or three offers but have declined them as they would probably be the ordinary newspaper account of a trip. What we should want would be …
