Things ave come to a crisis. We must
take the law into our own hands and
see what can be done. Life as we live
Unmarried life-has become impossi-

with head re~proachfully turned toward
the languid being with shut eyes-"you
said no man of sense or spirit would
stand it,"
Adair rolled his head feebly to and

sitting bolt upright. he said, sternly:
Look here, Adair, you're too lazy TO

Fact! Lots of.'em. 1 tell you! We're

"Of course we're not" said Dennison.
II never supposed we were. But we
are three-and three of us can show an
