But Felix, though of course spared from the shop, could not be dispensed with from the printing- house, where he was sub-editor; and in his absence Theodore was always less contented; and his tearless moan went to his sister's heart, for the poor little fellow had been wont to lie day and night in his mother's bosom, and she had been as uneasy without him as he now was without her.
Is your daughter's article signed A. A., and doesn't it describe a boarding-house on the Italian lakes? I thought it very clever and amusing. Mrs. Arthuret's face lighted up. 'Oh yes, my dear, slipped out in her delight. 'And do you know, it all came of her letter to one of the High School ladies, who is sister to the sub-editor, such a clever, superior girl!
"Do you drink?" he asked quietly. "No," Douglas answered. "I'm faint for want of food, that's all. Give me pen and ink, and if you can use what I write, pay me for it. You don't stand to lose anything, and I'm I'm " The sub-editor took a small piece of gold from his pocket and interrupted him. "That's all right," he said. "We'll see what you can do anyway. But you must have something to eat first.
I don't mind an ordinary honest fool that knows it is a fool, but a fool that regards its own inane folly as the final thing in wisdom is hopeless. Gifford must go." Here, however, Cairns found himself opposed to his employer.

The Freethinker steadily progressed in circulation, and in January, 1882, I was able to secure the services of my old friend, Joseph Mazzini Wheeler, as sub-editor. He had for long years contributed gratuitously to my literary ventures, and those who ever turn over a file of the Secularist or the Liberal will see with what activity he wielded his trenchant pen.
A boy looked over a mahogany partition at him and opened a trap window. "Well?" he asked sharply. "Do you want papers to sell? This is the wrong entrance for that, you know." "I want to see some one in authority," Douglas said; "the sub-editor, if possible."
