"When I get back the old gazink is still workin' on Peewee, but all of a sudden he stops 'n' listens. "'Pit-too-ee there's your car, boys! he says, 'n' then I begins to hear a groanin' sound. "Man! they ain't no way to tell you about that street-car! She falls to pieces only they wraps all the upper parts together with wire till she looks like a birdcage.
He left his house at about half-past ten, and again immured himself in the birdcage lift that carried him up to his partner's flat, where he inquired if he had yet returned. Learning he had not, he asked to be given pen and paper, to write a note for him, which was to be given to him on his arrival. "Dear Mills, "Mr.
"You'll have to do; but I wish I wish you hadn't got that sort of doomed look. Good-bye, old girl!"
