It is poorly always pleasing to be mistaken for a bamorist.

He chackles himself. He never laughs. His attitude to things is the chuckling attitude.

Just now he is enjoying the oddities of the elderly English Tommy of war-time on sentry He stands outside his duty. sentry box. and talks to a JOUDE subaltern. That is all.

SECRET OF AUCCESS,

Tingaling, the fairyman, was not hurt, of course, when he fell He just talks. much as an from Oliver Oriole's apartmenat in Maple-Tree Flats. In fact, the "ordinary" Tommy would talk. bump he got when he landed on the soft moss was rather good for and chuckles occasionally. He him, for it brought back his memory. It all came back, then, how makes no attempt to credit the bo bad got staying in bed while Oliver was repairing his clothes, Tommy with the humour of

The ordinary quake. But he realized something else, too-that he still had on his Tommy is quite funny enough nighty, or rather Oliver's nighty which he had borrowed while his for him. suit was getting repaired!

He looked around in alarm lest somebody should see him, for it's a most uncomfortable feeling to be outdoors in such unusual corering.

Besides, Mr. Tingaling was af dignised gentleman-fairy, being the landlord of the Land-Of-Dear-Knows Where, and he knew that

if any of the animals or birds or insects saw him, he'd never hear the end of it.

And another besides! There were the twins, Nancy and Nick, in the tree sove him, probably worried to death about the way he had suddenly disappeared. What if they should decide that he was lost forever and wish themselves home again, taking the big pocket book with the rent money with them? How could he ever explain to the Fairy Queen what bad become of her renta? How every thing? Oh, heavenst: There was only one thing to do and that was to get up the tree again as quickly as possible, without anyone sosing him.

He thought of Munchie Mouse, the janitor, who lived in the collar and who took care of the place. Perhape he could trust Manable enough to tell bim his story and get the little mouse to help him upstairs in his dumb-waiter.

It was a very good plan.

(To be continued to-morrow.)

When be lesson from the subaltern that the war-bas baen over for years, he says quietly; "Then I may as well pack up." and at once begins to get his few things togather.

You don't laugh at that. You Wilkie Bard chuckle-just as does.

He insist on making the Tommy a bumorist. I've been here for three years." he says, and I've never seen sent me a postcard to say they weren't coming. "That is the chuckling attitude to things.

Sometimes, it is true, he relies en surprise for his effects. For

simple:

**How's your mother!' "Just so sc."

"That's better than was was But on the whole I should say say that the secret of his success lies in bis modest, almost apolo- getic, way of suggesting that it is quite mistake, when every- one is so amusing, that he alone should be on the platform.
