NUMBERED IN A PARTICULAR WAY
respected citizen OF rural hamlet who was
cognizant o, the fact that he was long way from

the corridor of an uptown hotel one afternoon re-
cen,lv and with rather uncertain steps made MS
way TO the desk. lie greeted the clerk with eHusiNe

often seen Just such cases. and he knew that the
man who had arrived at this stage wanted>lttle
questioning and therefore assigned him 10 room

The citizen solcmnly watched the clerk with owl

the number first from one side and then from the
other II was eS" He said solemnly: "S-s-sh Eat

The clerk looked at him quizzically and asked what
he wanted. The guest replied with an air OF mys-
terry. such as is attributed TO Sherlock Holmes:
"Musht have som thin else HiV me IVi' or ILL., Vi

same hall with him, going 10 his room He stopped
and watched the manner In which the guest from the
rural districts was making his way, and wondered
vaguely why he had asked for room with par

his breath as he wandered nonchaantly from one
side of the hall TO the other peering at the numbers
IN the door. The inebriate was mutering:
