Asl hal my shoes off, nobody heard me. and I slipped upstairs, put on my belt, shouldered my gun, and nobody knew a thing about it. .I don’t be- lieve] care {or many such experi- ences like that. and i'. was lucky for me that no bolo men were in that coccanut grove or I would have a crown and harp by this time.
