"Hi! hi! don't you talk to me like that!" roared the guardian of the peace. "Then don't you accuse us of any crime," came quickly from Jack.

I'll do it myself." He rose and staggered towards the door. "The bell isn't that way, Monsieur," Madame exclaimed. "It is to the right. Louis, quick!" Monsieur Louis sprang to his feet.
