PASSTN GIT ALONG

A certain authors house is in rather a lonely spot and some time ago. when he was writing after midnight in his study, he heard a gentle tap at the hall door.
 As the rest of the household had re- tired for the night the author himself opened the door and found a jovial look in constable on the doorstep. '-and thought I'd remind you that your window is open
 Thanks" said the writer; will you have a bottle of beer"
 The offer was gratefully accepted, and the same constable called about q week later at the same time, when the same thing happened. After this the author was away from home for a period. but on his return there came the usual gentle knock. This time. however, the constable was a stranger.
 Excuse me. sir he said. T don't wish to disturb you, but my pal who used to be on this beat told me to re- mind you about your study window once a week
