feet and lunging into seat next to
that young person.
Miss Larson opened one sleepy eye.
"Oh, did you step on me?' she droned,
yawning widely and undisgMsedly. Il
didn't know it,"
Sure I did, responded Miss Con-

up and tell you about it. You can go
to sleep again now"
Miss Larson opened the other eye.
II wasn't asleep, Nell Connolly" she
said, Indignantly. Il guess a PERSONS
got right to shut their eyes if they
want to. My eyes amt very strong
and the light hurts 'em."
Don't let's waste our perfectly

Its pity you couldn't learn not

said Miss Connolly.
Il guess If l could just learn to
