screamed, making for the door, and
he hastily locked his trunk and hur-
ried out.
Going down the street about two
blocks he saw the lady of the house
at the parlor window, and instead OF
climbing the steps he stood under the
window and politely said:
" Madam, don't wish to even hint
that any of the bedsteads III your house
are inhabited by bedbugs, but

"J-a-w-n J-a-w-n!' she shouted
out of a side window, but the exter-

woman sitting on the front steps OF
fine residence, tanning herself.

Leavel Git o-w-tl' she screamed
clutching at his hair, and he had TO 90
out in such a hurry that he couldn't
lock the trunk until he reached the
walk.
He travelled several blocks and turned
several corners before he halted again,
and his smile faded away to a melan-
choly grin. He saw two or three rag
ged children at gate, noticed that the
house was old, and he braced up and
entered.
Il WANTS no zoap," said the woman
of the house as she stood in the door.
