Dick, who had been maliciously watching, burst into peals of laughter. The name read thus: PETEDOWN, ne . S "You've forgotten the quads," said Dick, "and you haven't enough ink. You must put on spectacles to read it." "That's nothing" replied Pete, growing red as he began to separate the words and rub more ink on the tablet. Again he pressed down the handle, lifted it up and gazed again.
In a vague way I had heard of "quads," and imagined I could work them as well as an "O. S." wire, but when he said for me to sit down on the "Polar side," I was, for a minute, stumped. However, there were already three chaps sitting at that table, so the fourth place must be mine. I sat down and presently I heard the sounder say, "Who?" I answered "BY," and then "HO," said, "Hr.
