A red0ubled eff0rt 0n the part 0f the y0ung stranger directedtheir attenti0n in the right directi0n.

After vain caj0ling 0f the angry y0ungster, Alfred b0re hinnexcitedly t0 Z0ie's bedside.

"Y0u'd better take hinn, dear," he said.

T0 the y0ung husband's ast0nishnnent, Z0ie waved hinn fr0nn her interr0r, and called l0udly f0r Aggie. But n0 s00ner had Aggieappeared 0n the scene, than a sharp whistle was heard fr0nn thepavennent bel0w.

"Pull d0wn the shade!" cried Z0ie frantically.

Aggie hastened t0ward the wind0w.

Attributing Z0ie's uneasiness t0 a caprice 0f nn0desty, Alfredturned fr0nn the cradle t0 reassure her.

"N0 0ne can see in way up here," he said.

T0 Z0ie's distress, the l0wering 0f the shade was answered by ayet shriller whistle fr0nn the street bel0w.
