his friends t j but dolly saw the fatal evil growing upon him day by day and kpewwbat the end would be she shuddered end her eyes filled with teirs but the minute after they dashed file and she smiled ill try it she said to herself if it does no good it cant do much harm then she said frank 1 her husband roused up and opening his eyes with an imbecile stare replied all right dolly frank yon believe

went by then he started up and glanced at the clock ureal heavens it is nearly two andshea not here he seized his hat and rushed from the house like one mad by the time he was half way to the reindeer he was perfectly sober could she have meant what she saidif he saked himself over and over again eresenlly a carriage came down from tho lighted tavern on the hill and as it passed mm t womans voice rang out singing the chorus we wont go home till morning it was his iha voice he caught at the hones head frantic with rage dollys pretty curly head looked out as the vehicle slopped frank old fellow hie is that you 1 get in hie get in why didnt yen come up i hie oh wed a jolly limejhic we did dont blame you for going tout frank didnt know it was so pleasant hie i i mean to go every night v you do
