Bob Relates His Experience.

We were walking in the moonlight. a
soft. velvet hand rested between two hard,
brawny ones and a Hood Of golden tresses
iloated about my shoulders and mingled in
strange contrast with shaggy, uncut beard.
When suddenly her low cut slippers came
in contact with something soft in the grass,
or seemed to. for there was a suppressed
scream. shudder and the trembling hand
was clinchcd in one palm, a strong arm
went out around buxom form to stay and
support it, and still they wandered on as
though nothing had happened And we
are not quite certain that anything did,
although my face went down as if to shelter
her eyes from the moonlight and my lips
seemed To linger IN close proximity to
where the sound of distress had proceeded
from. but The man in the moon saw nothing
but a pair of pleasant faces moment later,
and man licking his lips in an ecstasy OF
delight when the interval of silence had
