SECOND TIME WAS THE LAST

Impulsive Vetmgater Gave Promise Not to Disturb Neighbor, through Thoughtlessness, Again. Mother and I had just moved to a new flat in a row where the entrances were all similar. The first evening when I came home I passed our entrance without observing the number. Finding the outside door open I ran up to the second floor, .tried my key, and could not unlock the door. Then I knocked and, hearing no response, shook the door violently. When a strange man In a dressing opened the door I apologized profusely. The next evening when I ran up the stairs, tried my key, and heard a man’s heavy tread approaching I had sense enough to realize my mistake and made a dive for the outside door. Just then thef man’s voice called over the rail: “Who is it?” “Oh,” I said, “I’ll never do it again,” and I never did.—Chicago Tribune.
