THE MAN IN THE ATTIC
AN 'AIE RAID INCIDENT. "Ho wasn't linlf angry/' said the constable to a bystander, smiling reminiscently as lie cast his eyo over what remained-—mostly top story only —of an old-fashioned house which had suffered in a recent air raid in London. "You should have heard his language! Wo cleared away the rnhbish, and somehow or other got up to his rooms with an ambulance and the doctor._ The door was closed, so we started prising it open. That's when the fun started.
"the door was filing open, and iliero stood the old gentleman with a big book in his hands, his 'specs' on, and in a proper temper. I just caught a glimpso of a cosy armchair drawn up to a blnzina fire. " 'What the does this mean?' he says. 'Haven't T been disturbed enough this evening? Get out of, all of you I' And without troubling to shut his door he went back and sat down with his book beside the fire, muttering most awful. It gave mo the biggest shock of the raid."
