My secret, though, must have been guessed by some people, for throughout my school and military | career, I was dogged curiously by the suspicious words, written in every report, "Might do better if he chose." Nevertheless, the moment I chose to choose, chose to leave the Army and do my na- tural best, the attitude of aminbi lity and approbation, with which I had been received ever since, on my leaving school in 1912, I had allowed myself to be "press-gang ed by relatives into the "Army, visibly altered into one of sua picion, hostility, and then of rude..

Still it had to be admitted that such a phenomenon as an intelli- gent man was, not altogether un-| known. There had been two or three at Oxford or Cambridge with them: queer fellows, rather grub by young men, interested in old furniture and botanical specimens: but never, never before had there existed in all their acquaintance, with all their experience and knowledge of the world, such a frightful apparition au an intellig-

This, then, was our preparation for the world. And perhaps this is why our sense of humour has something individual about it. 1 remember, many years ago, when I was fifteen, an elderly relative of mine remarking to me, "I am quite worried about your sense of humour. You laugh at things which I fail to see are funny, but when I make one of my best jokes, you do not see it at all."

Similarly, one recalls the story of the American professor who constructed for himself an iron cage in the African jungle and lived therein for some months, in

the English language is a' more precious possession and more necessary to the country than the speeches of politiclans or the con- densed and amalgamated wisdom of all the parties.
