That's = small matter. Leave
everything alone until II In time for

said Wilson.
Fred sat musing as he pulled the

wheeling around suddenly said In A.
most determined tone:
..lteo6 here, Arthur I an scoscb-
Ing between two Names = my pride
and my inclination. Edith has been
away four weeks. and I just cannot
stand II any longer. You can see
for yourself the apartment Is all up
set and In nothing like the condition
II was the first week after Edith left.
Then, l am tired OF myself. When
