The youth and ihe girl he loved were
thus forced to share the warmth of

registered as man and wife on the
landlord's demands. In the night

Finally things come to a head. The

The Observer's little want ads
do the work. It is surprising how
many people turn to them every
day and fiow'quickly they meet the
eye and bring buyer and seller to

what you have to sell. A want ad
