on the front gallery and a noise that
indicated some one was gently rock-

sleeping porch at the rear of the
house and started an investigation.
Mrs. Osburn joined him and seeing
some one standing in the parlor door
stepped up and whispered: "Shall I
'turn on the light?" It was not Mr.
Osburn. but the unknown isitor
whom she had addressed. The man

was a drunken man who had stopped
and made himself at home on porch and
