where they had dinner upon their ar
rival the lover could not wait until he
had finished before he telephoned to
the girl whom he had come to town to
see, but left the table for this pur-
pose Immediately after he had or
dered- During his absence the news
paper man told the Mattresses to paw
no attention to anything the other
man said as he was a lunatic whom he
was taking to the Csawatomie ASYLUM
and who while mild enough for the
most part might grow violent if en-
couraged in loquacity. When the 9TH

astonished at the odd and inexpIica BILE
actions Of the Mattresses who stared
and peeked at him from all parts of
the room, but made no reply to any
thing he said and seemed afraid to
come near him. When this was alb
