"Vcs sir," tho
clerk replied,
throwing a key to tho waiting bellboy,
'but H' B'"ff lo n nart' Jou lo r?ivo
jou your old room. I don't think it
can be done."
That disturbed mu. For fifteen
tars I had been stopping onco every
ii weeks nt this hotel, nnd my old
room had become mhjhty homelike,
jssldcs that, I bad sOmo particularly
mod samples to show, and while tho
Jghl in lhat room wasn't tho best in

bold.
"Why can't I have tho old room,

'Thai's n little hard to explain, sir,"
lie replied. "Take this ono nnyway
ntl tell mo over tho phono whnt you
think of it. If you don't like it I'll
ee wlint I can do."
Leaving tho elevator I followed tho
tdlboy down tho familiar corridor.
Sure enough ho slopped in front of my

He did. I

This new wallpaper makes mo feel os

J did somo rapid thinking. Doat

Ill admit those were good samples.
'But they certainly took on additional

'Why didn t you show mo stuff liko

The deflector spread most of tho licht
