| rooms once more possessed him. He
| remembered a loose cellar door and
made entrance to the house by that
| means. No one seemed to be at home
For ten minutes he crept about the
| place, lighting a match to see the room
| where he first remembered having had
| his playthings and then lighting an
| other match when he discovered again
a hi lind
| behind the curtains he and his little
| sister had played house" and "bear"
| and cave" and all the imaginary
things which children ''pIay-Iike"
that he must leave. He heard a noise,
stopped. listened, heard it again
| There seemed to be some one talking
at the front door. Hastily he crept
downstairs and out the way he had
come, barely avoiding squad of po-
lice who had been called by the neil h-
bors to investigate lights seen in the
house.
The man in our town. altho shaky in
the knees and feeling slightly embar-
| raised that he should almost have
been discovered in an act so full of
| sentiment. helped the policemen In
their Intellectual search. Then, when
the excitement had died down and

down stream. There are ever and ever
so many interesting things for lovers
to discuss from a point on the upper

! together and one may watch the shad-
| ows on the trees off shore, and listen
to the noises in the water made by the
boat. Others dance on the lower deck
to the music of the boats orchestra
| We do not have these pleasures out
here. We cannot dance as the boat
| floats down stream for If it fIoated
