NEXT morning woke at dawn; the fog still pre-

rolled silently about, still reddish. 1t seemed as

folks do things out of a perversity that
cannot be explained. I just now had an
experience with a woman over the tele-
phone that would puzzle anyone.

home, but none in his office. 1 dropped
my nickel in the box, called his home num-

told central she had given me the wrong
number, and so she tried again. After some
waiting the same woman got on the wire
again. Again she told me I had the wrong
number and at once rams off. That made
10 cents to the bad.
"Once more 1 got central and this time ]
