  NIGHT WATCHES 
  
  by W.W. Jacobs 
  
  BACK TO BACK 
  
  Mrs. Scutts, concealed behind the curtain, gazed at the cab in uneasy amazement.  The cabman clambered down from the box and, opening the door, stood by with his hands extended ready for any help that might be needed. A stranger was the first to alight, and, with his back towards Mrs. Scutts, seemed to be struggling with something in the cab.  He placed a dangling hand about his neck and, staggering under the weight, reeled backwards supporting Mr. Scutts, whose other arm was round the neck of a third man.  In a flash Mrs. Scutts was at the door. 
  "Oh, Bill!"  she gasped.  "And by daylight, too!" 
  Mr. Scutts raised his head sharply and his lips parted; then his head sank again, and he became a dead weight in the grasp of his assistants.
