of the previous condition Of himself and
Mrs. Kleinlein than, being a man of di-

You're drunk, Kupferstein," said she,

surprise and distrust, and he went back
to study his books on theosophy and re-
carnation. soon after he became so deeply
interested in these subjects that he forgot
to pay his rent. Every time Mrs. Klein
lein attempted to call the matter to his
attention he overwhelmed her with APP
peals to her memory of their aerial Egyp-

I'm her lawful husband"
That's all right" returned the boarder.

on the front porch and there wait until

to twitter and chirp like a flock of quar-
relling sparrows. In vain did Kleinlein
and his wife and the neighbors warn and
