until II O'clock, then striking out for

Imagine him piling into the first bed he
comes to, very soon sinking off into the
untroubled slumber of the innocent at
heart, to be awakened at the peep of
day by a something tumbling down
the chimney. Not a hobgoblin-that

spattered and grimy, but still young
woman, and one probably more dead
than alive. Imagine it all If you can,
