'Mother,' said Teddy, a few days after this, as she was paying him her usual 'good night' visit, 'it's a very funny thing; but do you know, I used to wish for an enemy so much, to fight and carry on with, and now I've got one, and have Ipse to fight with, I'm getting rather tired of him.

I would take great care of it.' 'I meant it to be buried with me,' said Teddy, considering, 'but I don't mind altering my mind about it, and if you promise not to give it to any one else, I will let you have it.'

'And we'll always remember that soldiers and sailors are just as good as each other--they're quite even!' 'Yes,' nodded Nancy; 'sailors and soldiers are quite even, and my father is just as good as your father was!' Teddy looked a little bit doubtful at this, but wisely refrained from making any objection to the assertion; and then they parted, Nancy calling out after him,-- 'And when you die, and I get the button, I shall wear it as a brooch!
