“That" Great-Uncle George re- "ie the loot of the trouble. And he Won't crow ou. oi it."

"But he cr-l-‘t possibly become a lighthouse keeper," she insisted.

“Do im the world of good. Mabel."

Hugh took a fancy to the old man. especially when he round Zicillit the obsession was not ridicul-

“It would look n. bit odd having him about the shop in one oi’ thos picturesque costumes." Mrs. Ever- ard observed vaguely.

Ultimately Hugh modified his original intentions. though he continued to be a square beg in a round hole so far as his dis- appointed parenis were concerned.

Natural history claimed his at- tention. When still in his ‘teens he acquired some repute u an authority on bird life. Few native birds, or migrants, or occasional visitors were unfamiliar to him He contributed articles to scientific publications, as well as publishing —at his father's expense - a monograph 0n the habits o1 the corncrake. Mr. Everard had footed the bill in the hope that lack of success would teach his peculiar son a salutary lesson. ately the demand was keen enough to return a fair profit.
