OUT OF SIGHT.
* Tee, I have a pretty big mouth/ admitted the candid man, ' but I have learned to keep it ghat, and that counts for something when you '-tak? your levels. I received a lesson when I was a small boy that I have never forgot'en. I was born and brought up on a far oi, aad I had the country boy habit of going abroad with my mouth wide op?n, especially if there was anything unusual going on. One day an uncle whom I had not seen for years paid me a visit. 1 Hullo, ancle!' said I. looking up at him with my mouth opened like a barn door. ' Ho looked at me foz a moment without answering, and then said : '' C 1033 your mouth, sonny, so I can see who you are/ ' 1 took the lesson to my heart and resolved that from that day I would not allow my month to conceal my identity.'
