Mr.. Barry had Just left the dinner

at the door bell AS he answered 1t
he was somewhat astonlshed to find
at the door his irascible neighbor and
the town constable.

the infexible old man. When, u month
later, after keeping all his kind deeds to
himself as far as possible Mr. Barry
wrote a pleasant note to his con-
