"John, what you did for Branton Hills should go into our National

Library at Washington, in plain sight."

"Sally, _Youth's_ part was paramount in all that work. All I did was to

boss;" and Old Doc Wilkins, coming out, nibbling a bunch of raisins,

said:--

"Uh-huh; but a boss must know his job!"

"That's all right," said Gadsby; "but it was _young hands and young

minds_ that did my work! Don't disqualify Youth for it will fool you,

if you do!"

A glorious full moon sails across a sky without a cloud. A crisp night

air has folks turning up coat collars and kids hopping up and down for

warmth. And that giant star, Sirius, winking slyly, knows that soon,

now, that light up in His Honor's room window will go out. Fttt! It

_is_ out! So, as Sirius and Luna hold an all-night vigil, I'll say a

soft "Good-night" to all our happy bunch, and to John Gadsby--Youth's

Champion.
