When they appeared in the supper-room

neither one Of them winked. He spoke
as IL. when TOMS time was up and he

dark with terror, his face was pale and
he gnawed his mustache furiously. The

before was enough to shock any one.

think that married life was the only road
20 real bliss, and that one could not
marry too early or too often. The SER
geant saw that she had set her heart
on the marriage between Toni and
Denise and that he would stand no
chance whatever Of establishing himself
in the comfortable back room of Nine

match. So far he was quite correct, but

too late then to cit out OF doors, so they
had their little feast IN q private room

ordered a truly gorgeous supper. There
