making good meal frotn tbe larder but
grumbling because they lound no wine to
wash down their repast and then left tbe
premises with tbelr booty. After tbe two
bad been gone long enough lu insure escape,
tbe bed room sentinel deliberately kissed
tbe two girls and followed bis comrades.
Tbe girls stated ibat tbe robbers were all
handsome. men, particularly the one who
kissed them.

raising one hand to.tba rail, and one foot
gently from the earth, be swung tasjesli

and madly pawing around with bis bands,
and swearing and praying at an awful rate.
