in this vicinity 10 consider. He pictured
the beginning of friendly game in the
back room OF the shop amongst the clerks,
and perhaps the proprietor, all innno-

venture to some one of the various resorts
that are run nightly in the place and
here he would d quietly slide in, unnoticed,
perhaps, the first time, but after time

vicinity"
