Roger Blake stared.. It was the face
of a stranger. Her eyes were soft and
dart like those of his sweetheart ajd
her cheeks had tho same oval framed
in dusky hnir. Save for these points
of resemblance there was no likeness
between the two girls. Elizabeth At

A boy reprimanded, a servant dis
missed, goes away whistling if bo
dares. lie wishes to express contempt,
and he succeeds at least in enraging
his master generally. A hobbledehoy
who commits some breach of the pro
prieties commonly bursts Into a whla
tie. This U to save his face, meaning
no harm. But It signifies "I don't care!"
which is Just the reverse of the apolo

sult and provocation.
Boswell tells a little story of whis
tling, illustrating the independent sig
nificance. Johnson and he were dining
with the Duke of Argyll, who asked a
gentleman present to fetch some curi
osity from another room. The gentle
man brought the wrong article, and the
duke sent him back.
The exact position of this gentleman
toward his host is undisclosed. How
ever. Boswell says: "He could not re
fuse, but to avoid any appearance of
servility he whistled as he went out of
the room. On my mentioning this aft
erward to Dr. Johnson ho said it was
a nice trait of chnracter."-Pall Mall
