energetic and atfectionate grades OF
love making. She determined to used
little strategy to draw him out, and
induce him to give her the kiss tor
which she was just aching. In q low
cooling voice she said:
"John, suppose we had just come
| in on train, aad it was raining real
hard--so hard we couldn't think ol
walking up town--what would We
do?"
.Why, wait in the depot till i
