This was an unpleasing announce-

So it went on until Sunday morning
and then Wells, who was very parti-

"1 suppose you are going to

"I don't feel like going," said
Landsper. "I think .you must 'ex-

"Oh," said Wells, in a blaze, "do

"Thank you," said Landseer. "And

Wells vouchsafed no answer, and
