The noises of the street did not disturb her, not even the passing of the flre- depnrtment trucks some time after midnight. Nor did nearer sounds arouse her. She hod no knowledge of the fact- that a procession of A. P. T. boys and messengers from the railroad com pany .came to ring the bell nf the Price's apartment.
