They Speak No More.

My cousin was visiting me from out
Of the city. We were sitting in the
living room one afternoon when we
heard a knock at the door. Thinking
It was an agent, we decided to sit still,
when suddenly a louder rap came. and
under that furious blow the door came
open, as 1t was just pushed to. and
there stood my next door neighbor,
who had recently moved In. We were
80 embarrassed we couldn't speak. and
she was so mad she went home and
has never spoken to NJ since.-Ex-
