He knocked at the back dooi of a suburban house and the cook opened it. He was a sinister-looking fellow, and the cook held on to the door. " Lady of the house at home ?" he inquired, gruffly. " No," tiemblod the cook. " Master of the house at home ?" " No." " None of the people in ?" " None but me," and she tried to shut the door. " Ah! never mind," lie growled, setting his foot against it; " I'll come in and have a good feed. Let go that door." She let go the' door, and the tramp went in and fell into the arms of a burly policeman who was e-ourling the cook contrary to orders.
