Do not make a noise or you will wake the policeman. He is sitting on the doorstep asleep. It is very.hard on him to have to sleep out of doors these ao ! d nights.

Some people believe this is what policemen are for, but the policemen do not think so. 4. Who is this creature with long hair and a wild eye ? He is a poet. He writes poems on spring and women’r eyes and ttrange, unreal things of that kiad. He » always wishing he was dead, but lie wouldn’t let anybody kill him if he could jet ffvray.
