It does sometimes happen that a man does not know himself sa well as another known him.
Having learnt so much, O'Grady set himself to take the entire management of this little comedy, partly from bis sincere liking for Quarry, but more because he enjoyed acting the "presiding genius, pulling unseen stiluga and playing with human lay figures. He knew that as matters stood, Quassy had put himself out of court with Miss Salonica, and that after his conduct at the time of the launch crisis, when he made a rush to save himself irrespective of, others, as boys nearly always do, ho would not be in the least kindly disposed towards him. He also had an idea that she was like most human beings, who can all be twisted about the fingers of one stonger than themselves. So O'Grady set himself to get hold of Miss Sally, as he already had Quassy, and to have a little, quiet fun with them all to himself. It was his' hobby, thas to play games with human chess-; men.
"There is not much difficulty in nursing an acquaintance in Hongkong, O'Grady knew the Public Works, official, Sally's father, who was like most of the P.W.D. men here are, privately a very good-hearted, soclable man, and to all who knew him a folly good fellow.

"Well, it would serve you right to get a bet as it, just to take the conceit out of you. There would be nothing left of you after the conceit was gone; but that doesn't matter,"
"Oh, don't mind me. Name your price, and wo will have a bet. Odds on me,"

Then, pretending to reflect seriously,— "Rather hard on the poor-gil, Quassy, to make her marry me for the sake of a bet. You see, I don't want her-in fact, it will need to be more than $100 to induce me-but all I have to do is to held up my finger, sa to speak, and there she -I mean, bere she will be," laying his hand on his manly burzum,
Then, deeply in earnest, young.
