heard It called counterfeit love making" and

Imagine what a queer world it would be II all

feet high, the pedestal standing on a

this side, reaching up to one door, and
a ladder on the other side, leading to
the other door.
This is how it works. The unsus-

the ladder on this side. 1t opens the
door by means of the iron knob, walks
through the cage and opens the door
on the other side Then it starts down
the other ladder.
