in finding the young lady 5 home. as he had
received careful directions from those who
had been there. In due time he arrived in
the neighbOrhoOd in which the youL.s lady
lived. He was undecided as TO the exact
house he was seeking, but after some hesita-
ton he selected that which he felt positive
was the young lady's place OF abode. A
