had only a swaying glimpse Of Bibbs
sitting alone on the back seat-his
white face startlingy white against
cap and collar of black fur-but he
flashed into recognition as Mary bowed
to him.

Yes, l know" said Mary. Il bowed

In fact, I'VE only seen him once-no,

Il doubt if he noticed it, said hon

I'm almost sure people notice it
when I bow to them.

"Oh, he's not lunatic," said jim
Hes just queer. Sometimes he'll say
something right bright, but half the

and anybody else in the world would
have just said what time they dix
