back. There was succession Of lire
escapes by which one who was amG-

one house to another.
In a window in rear of the other
block q pretty girl was used to sit,
sometimes sewing, sometimes reading,
sometimes watching what was going
OH in the limited yard spaces below.
When at home used to sit in my
window watching the pretty girl.
I have tod quite enough to Indicate
that trouble was brewing for the pref

at the pretty girl and, being bold
young man, following up my glances
by throwing kiss. OF course the
young lady disappeared from the win

aim, threw it so correctly that 1t fell
in her lap. She tried hard to look
offended, but gave way to a bit Of a
smile. which was followed by an ex-

Self preservation is the first law Of
nature, and the girl, to prevent any one

the light. Then she came to the win
