Again that familiar knock....

I was back in my little sitting-room in Cornwall and Millie entered
with my candle, which she put down on the table rather noisily. I
gave her the usual grin and nod of acknowledgment, and she wished me
good-night and went.

In the tray of the candlestick there was a box of matches. I picked it
up and turned it over curiously. Could my dream have been true? Or was
it only a coincidence that in blatant red letters on that match-box
were the words:--

"MADE IN SWEDEN."

"Troops raided the I.W.W. headquarters and arrested James
Rowan (leader) and 2½ others on the eve of threatened
disturbances."--_Toowoomba Gazette (Australia)_.

Unfortunately in such cases half-measures are rarely successful.
