Some time later in the evening Billy Ryan,

ginning their evening strolls. Peals. OF
innocent young laughter came up TO hin
from the street, He tried TO interest HIM

picture machine place across the way glue
their eyes to the tops of the boxes while
they learned what the pink pajama, girls

OF electric lights over the entrance sud-

About 10 o'clock Andy Hourigan climbed
to Billy and laid a pair OF cuffs and u derby

Big Max Walsh and Mike Hoban wandered
along with a silk handkerchief, but II was

sack coat that things began to brighten
