of largely increasing t'le interest among the

From the above descriptions it will be

that much OF the success OF the team is due

O'Clock that Johnny put in an appear
ance He was brought home by a citi-

Johnny managed to obtain entrance to
the house by means Of the basement, the
deor having been left open. II was there
that he was found by the plumbers when

three hours hard work was he brought
about again.
