Miss Altman advanced and politely
requested an explanation. This caused
the gentleman to grow very red In the
face, while the valet rolled his eyes In
disapproval and the expressman waited.
The gentleman declared that he had
come to take possession Of the rooms he
had engaged and had been refused tho

"Oh, but you cannot occupy the
roomsl'' she exclaimed. "This Is wo-
