been out OF work for some time past,
they were by no means sorry to
have found jobs again, although in
future 1t would be necessary for
them to leave home at 5 a. m.
That was much too early for Pats
liking, and he said so volubly when,
in the cold dim hours of the early
morning, Mike turned him out of
bed. He said so more volubly when
he learned that the clock had
stopped, and that Mike had merely
guessed the time.
It couldn't be anything like 5
O'Clock, said Pat and, to prove his
statement led his friend to the win
dow and showed him the moon.
Mike maintained II was the sun.
