The ONLOOKER

By HENRY HOWLAND

“I tell you there is, after all, » divinity that shapes our ends.” “Bosh! I insist that I am captain of my soul.” "You may be captain of your soul, all right, but I want to tell you of an, experience I had yesterday. It happened that I had a nice, new $lO bill in my pocket. Well, there were a number of things that I could have done with It —a number of pleasant things—things that I really wished to do.- During the forenoon I heard thevoice of Smitherton out in the hall. He was asking for ipe. I knew, of course, what he was after. I owed him $lO. By acting quickly and dodging Into another room I managed to get out before he could catch sight of me. I supposed I was safe, after I had got out*V>f the building, but as I was turning the corner I ran plump into my former wife, who demanded her last week’s alimony. I might) have got Smitherton to wait if I bad) stayed and faced him.”
