staring. "Come wrong house." he said
and, stepping back, he caught sight of two
strongly marked shadows upon the draw

and gentleman, the lady's head resting
upon the gentleman's shoulder. " Had

went to the next door, stared at the num-

tionately upon the shoulder of the gentle
man, and face met face in loving
kiss. 1t was only short one, but
it had the power of endless bottles OF

instant, and dashed back to the bell but
before he could pull it the voice came W
