"Fancy yowl" she said, obviously

He nodded; but as sheturned to
leave the room he called her back.
"You're rather near-sighted, aren't
you, Perkins?" he said.
"Oh, no, sir," .quite the contrary,
in fact. I' can see farther than most

"Did you ever have your eyes test-

"Measured for glasses, do you
