been dead many years, stin lived in it.

who never failed to bark at me when
I passed the house. stiIl lived In my
dream I was passing the house when
the door opened and the old gentle
man came out, followed by George.

only two or three years. We knew

open air in her cheeks and he was get

A man who works like that gets on
They've lived in four cities now, and
perhaps twice as many houses, and
neither of them is even middle aged.
They have the newest car there is. and
he comes home after dark and drives
her about town in it. And on Sundays
he takes the children out That's

We know those children; they're

their daddy, and sometimes we think
