CHAPTER v.
Early Birds.

Early Bras
At sunrise Clinton was wakened by
the dazzling rays that streamed In at
his open window.
He FASTENED to where he had left
his clothes. They were arranged In
a different manner from that in which
he left them-they had an odd look
the suit was not his own. Though not
unlike In color, the pattern and tex
ture were dissimilar. On the dresser
lay all the articles that had been in
his suit except the handkerchiefs.
Fresh linen and underwear were laid
out In the place of what he had worn.
Ellis shoes set where he had left them,
but they had been carefully polished.
II was easy to divine that while he
slept someone had come into the room
through the rear door or the passage
that led to the bathroom.
Accustomed to hotels he glanced
along the walls in, search of bell
push button. On the side near the
rear was a round contrivance. He
went over and recognized it as the
u,outhpiece of an old-fashioned speak
ing tube. He stopped to 1t and called
irritably: Hello. hello. Is this the
kitchen? Hello"
Eyes, yes, I'm here, Mr.. WILL" came
back the voice of old Tillie. my but

Its my Clothes" broke in Clinton.
Il want my suit"
s'Suit?" was the astOnished reply.
"svhy. laid out the very best every
day one you left"
"No, no. / mean my own suit: the
one | wore last evening"
THAT? But you can't have 1t until
get the pants pressed and the coat
cleaned. There's a grease spot most
as big as"
Clinton slammed down the cover of
the mouthpiece and returned to glover
at the changeling suit. But he did
not long remain inactive. Up through
the open window floated clear, sweet
hail: "O-ho-o! O-hO-O. lazybones
Aren't you coming DOWN."
He leaped into the fresh costume
and dashed to the bathroom without
stopping to examine the fit of the gar
ments. That he was able to get into
them at all was sufficient TO satisfy
him for the time cling. With hair
half brushed he hurried out into the
hall, fastening his tie.
"You are?" she incredulously ques-
toned. "Well, if you mean it"
How could I help it when you
called me?" he asked.
But I know how much you like TO
lie abed. If it wasn't for these dirty
old gloves I'd give you a big hug
for It."
He looked quickly aside and replied
in tone of brotherly banter: Like
the MiIzado, you make the punishment
fit the crime"
"Ieanie! :" she pouted "You wouldn't
say that if Ellen. offered to hug you"
How do you know? Anyway, !

and pointed at the spots on her big
apron where she had knet in the damp
soil. you've been working hard

To avoid bruising the flowers that
drouped or thrust out over the path
on either side he had to walk behind
