Echoes of the storm: Glover awoke
with a start to find the wind blowing

sixty miles an hour The first thing
he knew the screens came out and
were carried clear across the room,
knocking over all the furniture in
their path. He sprang out of bed
and closed the windows, and then re-

open rushed out, still only half awake
and regardless of his costume, to at
tend to them. You know Glover lives
at boarding house. and there are
four or five women on his floor. OF

of their demi-toilet, retreated with a
burst of rude, hoarse laughter. At the
sound, Miss Blank suddenly remem-

Glover made a dash for his room. He
found his roommate rolling on the
bed and roaring at the top of his voice

porch she pretends to have an errand

right by.
