Then he added You people who live in civilized countries, within call of a policeman, dont know what life is. It was the fourth time that he had made that same remark, and it maddened me. For a moment indeed I found myself wishing fiercely that he had pressed his trigger a second later. Then an idea came to me and I crossed the room and opened the casement. My flat overlooks Kensington Gardens, and on the cold damp air of the autumn evening was borne the mournful cry, All out! All out! Whats that? asked Crockston.

I closed the window and sat down again before the fire. I I forgot you wouldnt know, You remember that the winsaid. was extraordinarily seter of 1917-1vere? But no, you wouldnt remember that .either, of course. Well, it was. The gales at the beginning of January were terrific. Quantities of sea birds took refuge inland, and they swarmed beside the Serpentine as never before. A poor enough refuge, for it soon became a sheet of ice. Yet the gulls remained, too much alarmed by the gales to return to the seashore. At first some people made sporadic attempts to feed them. But this soon ceased; food was too scarce and the birds too plentiful; and every day the 8 gulls became wilder and more ravenous. There was a man named Binney who had the flat over this, a curious little creature of eccentric appearance and miserly habits. Food rationing did him badly, because for years he had made it a practice never to go to the same shop twice, thinking in some vague way that this tended to econ- ton Gardens towards closing time with nothing more appetizing than a rather high herring in a piece of newspaper. He took the path which leads by Peter Pans statue. Looking back, it seems a mad thing to have done, for it brought him and his herring into the midst of a cloud of starving sea birds; but it is easy to be wise after the event. Even then all might have been well with him had he abandoned his herring at once and fled. But the instinct of parsimony was too strong, and he clung to it like grim death an ominous simile! Yes, they had him down just at the top of the rise. A dozen of those cruel beaks penetrated his juglar vein. He cried out once, and once only, for help. But the keepers were just closing the Gardens, and it was mistaken for All out! Next morning nothing was found but a skeleton.a bunch of keys, a pair of boots and a collar with dicky attached. Crockston left soon after, nor did he tell me any more stories of adventure. During the war I was strongly against reprisals, but I doubt now if I was right. It is certain that they act as a powerful deterrent. Punch. ALL KNEW HIM. Gilbert Chesterton, the English critic, when driving in an open car down Oxford Street and Piccadilly, attracted as much attention, owing to his great size and massive head, as the king going to open Parliament. Why, exclaimed W. W. Ellsworth, the American publisher, they all know you. Yes, replied Chesterton in a grieved tone, and if they dont they ask. While youre in possession of perfect health, and are able to di-be "about enjoying life and its versions, why not give a thought to those who must stay in?
