THE HALTER PROTESTS
So while looking about another na

Bowery. The skylight was open u
Jocko began dropping odd bits which
picked up off the roof down into
room below, His Simian Majesty
scared away.
Then Jocko's instructive feeling Of
like for the Hyman family asserted iis
The next day and the next Jocko quiz
perched himself On the rim of the !
light over the extension of the bat
and began picking away the putty ab
the panes. But Jocko had not progres
far in his operations before he was To-

One Of Jocko's tricks is to go out e

another is to gather up letters which
postman leaves under the basement 8

Pending the result of the inquiry
