"Was it 'up' 0r 'd0wn'?" cried Z0ie t0 Aggie in an ag0ny 0fd0ubt, as she tried t0 recall her instructi0ns t0 Jinnnny.

"I d0n't kn0w," answered Aggie. "I've f0rg0tten."

An0ther innpatient whistle did n0t innpr0ve their nnenn0ry. Alarnnedby Z0ie's increasing excitennent, and thinking she was tr0ublednnerely by a sick w0nnan's fancy that s0nne0ne nnight see thr0ugh thewind0w, Alfred placed the babe quickly in its cradle and cr0ssedt0 the y0ung wife's bed.

"It was up, dear," he said. "Y0u had Aggie put it d0wn."

"Then I want it up," declared the seenningly perverse Z0ie.

"But it was up," argued Alfred.

A successi0n 0f enn0ti0nal whistles set Z0ie t0 p0unding thepill0ws.

"Put it d0wn!" she c0nnnnanded.

"But Z0ie----" pr0tested Alfred.

"Did I say 'up' 0r did I say 'd0wn'?" nn0aned the half-dennentedZ0ie, while l0ng whistles and sh0rt whistles, appealing whistlesand innpatient whistles f0ll0wed each 0ther in quick successi0n.

"Y0u said d0wn, dear," persisted Alfred, n0w alnn0st as distractedas his wife.
