He was pale, and would have been plain, but for a pair of large, dark eyes, lighting up his face. "Welcome home, papa," he said, running up to meet Mr. Reynolds. The broker stooped over and kissed his son. Then he said: "I have brought you some company, Herbert. This is Grant Thornton, the boy I spoke to you about."

Perhaps there was something in the atmosphere of the place which tended to emphasize Johnson's natural argumentativeness; at any rate the Crown and Anchor was the scene of his dispute with Reynolds as to the merits of wine in assisting conversation, and it was here too that he had his famous bout with Dr. Percy.

Then we have his own journal, and hundreds of letters; but nowhere do we get a frank statement of the assistance rendered him by Giuseppe Marchi. When Reynolds was in Rome, aged twenty-one, he fell in with a tatterdemalion, who proffered his service as guide. Rome is full of such specimens, and the type is one that has not changed in five hundred years.

When Johnson reached his seventy-fourth year, and found himself the victim of infirmities which prompted him to seek his social intercourse near at hand, he conceived the idea of founding what was known as his Essex Street Club. One of his first invitations was sent to Reynolds, but the painter did not see his way to join. The members included the inevitable Boswell, the Hon.

He says the men are depending on him and he must go through with it." "By Jove! a fine spirit!" exclaimed Captain Reynolds. "I hope he is not too easily disposed of." "I don't think he will be," said Captain Raleigh, quietly. "Someway, I have a feeling that you haven't carried off the honors yet." "But it's foolish to talk like that, Raleigh," said Captain Reynolds. "You know this man, Harris."

"I should think so," said the boss. "It seems this youngster kin ride, seem's he's on Wild Cat." Reynolds smiled: "I reckon you can consider him both able and willin', captain." "Well, slip off an' eat.

A resolution of tribute was passed to Miss Harriet E. Turner, who retired after 21 years' devoted service at headquarters, where she had suggested some of the most successful lines of work.

REYNOLDS, JOHN. An Alderman of the Dublin Corporation and M.P. for Dublin City in the British Parliament, 1847-52. Subsequently Lord Mayor. He was utterly corrupt and a mob-leader. An English politician who professed Independent views, and from the violence of his denunciation of his opponents was nicknamed "Tear 'em." Liberal Prime Minister of England, 1846-52, and again, 1865.

He felt aggrieved and talkative. If Kenny had succeeded in propelling himself into one of his nervous ecstasies of inspiration, thereby normalizing his existence to some extent, if Reynolds had not appeared and simplified the painter's credit to a point where he made no further search for unsympathetic models. Fate, weaving the destiny of two O'Neills, would have changed her loom.

Doctor Reynolds had gone, and the desk in Dick's office was back where it belonged. In the mornings Mike oiled the car in the stable and washed it, his old pipe clutched in his teeth, while from the kitchen came the sounds of pans and dishes, and the odor of frying sausages.
