“Well, who Is the bird sending love

“Yes. or who Is ttt* guy that

“Folks. It's a romance.' Russ ex-
plained, “A beautiful little romance
that has been coin- on under the
very eyes of thousand: for more than
twenty years.”
We were visibly affected as Russ
continued.
“You remember the gray-haired old
night watchman at the town hall?
Just Frank. J believe they call him.
Well, he has been climl ng that tower
to wind bls clocks every night exact

“Rut.” r asked, “why Is it that the

Russ. “Overtone Is the disturbance
