Miss Longworth, the librarian, has-

stonny and few people had been
into the library, so that she was
glad of an interview, even over (he

voice of one of the indefatigable "la-
test novel readers.
"What can I do for you?" «he
asked, pleasantly. "Shall I have a
parcel of books ready for Johnny to

after school? Three cards belong-
