("From New York we hear Of lover

It is alleged that he put one arm

Edwin crept noiselessly and
on all fours to the half-opened door
of the armor-plated drawing room. His
heart leapt within him. Angelina,
dreamily gazing into the fire, was oil

Sliding the door gently forward, he
advanced slowly, still upon hands and

position from the outside. She must
hold out at all costs. Putting her hand
into her pocket, she drew forth her
handkerchief and waved it eloft. "The
