It was about 10 o'clock at night and
on Wells street not far from . Fourth

swinging outside a third-story win

building was a boxlike structure pre
maturely run to old age, and he knew
It to be a tenement bouse occupied al
most, exclusively by poor colored peo

In, the daytime the sidewalk
swarmed with little black children,
aad there were dark faces peering ov
er every sill all the way up to the roof,
he knew the corner pretty well, but he
couldn't understand why a- Chinee

window. It had little decorative value,
swinging against the lonesome front
sud the man-who saw it coua.dnlt.rer

A policeman happened ' along and
-the man asked him about it.
' "What's the meaning nl that lantern
up there?" - ,
. "Don't you know?'
"Why no. The windows up there
are lighted and there seems , to be
something going on." ;
-That's a rent rag.

green-looking young couple-were, on
the train, and theyi never weemed to

with but Jt single thought While the
train was passing through the tunnel,
those near the young couple heard a
succession of auspicious smacks some
thing like a kiss with a dozen echoes.
After the train had passed through
