years related to The Prowler a funny
incident which they witnessed a few
nights ago while stroIling on

lady wss receiving a call from
her lover. and forgetting to put the
blind down, they were INDUCING
in little osculatory performance
which is pardonable between lovers
only. but which never requ; 'es an au-
dience. The boys gszed and lodged
down and snickered aud finally when
the lover had let himself loose on a
kiss which threatened to engulf the
girl, one of them could stand it no
longer, but shouted i'm q tone loud
enough for even the enraptured lovers
to hear "Hellow Billy, have you seen
McGintyT 1t is needless to say that
the blind went down Immediately and
the boys didn't find the celebrated MIR.
