quietly took off my clothes and
donned warm negligee over my
night gown and prepared to sleep
on the sofa.
When I had gotten settled and
the light fixed so that could

time, l had promised to bring him
over to the hotel and started for
the door.
Here, where are you going?"
Dick almost yelled after me.
"Only to the telephone, dear;
l promised that you would go
with me to the hotel this evening
to see the rooms l have taken and
l want to tell the man you are
sick"
Here, wait a minute. How
much are they?"
''Seventy-five dollars u month.
Ii is only room with n bath and
an alcove, but I like it very much
and think that we can board for
another $40. My allowance of
fifty dollars brings the disburse-
ments for your new family, MIR.
Young Husband, up to two hum
dred dollars and leaves You one
hundred for yourself and your
savings"

you, Mrs. Schoolteacher?" said
Dick, somewhat ruefully. 81 was
going to ask you, Margie, If you
could not get along with $25 this

that l have many bills to pay"

Dick, l am going to tell you of a

most of them does not deter him

that he arrested the young men and

says, that the party was accustomed to

and warned them that repetition OF the
offense would bring about their arrest,
but he denies that he made the arrest
