Show If MISTOOK NUMBER OF ROOM. Predicament of County Oflicial Out at "" Snltair. 1 i After a couple of hoursn Great Salt ' y Lake one Is more than lilcely to be shly-erlng shly-erlng when he- emerges from the water, wa-ter, especially If a breeze be blowing. Then. was a breeze blowing Saturday night, when a eertnln county official walked or rather staggered, up tho steps at the far extremity of the pier. He was shivering so that his teeth were nearly shaken loose, and he hardly ob-.served ob-.served where he was going. Ho remembered re-membered the location of his bathroom and without losing: any time made ' .straight for the protecting shelter of Its walls. Once Inside he shook off his bathing suit and Jumped under the shower. Then he rubbed himself briskly until his skin fairly glowed in the dim light i-ust by the small Incandescent somc-where somc-where up in the rafters. It was not as Jr light In the room as it might have been, ( hut he was able to see that the garment he was about to don was not a piece of masculine apparel; In fact, he realized f' that it was a part of some woman's 1 J wardrobe, the remaining pieces of j which were hanging on the wall. Upon examining the number of the ' room and tho number of his key, the "H, certain county oflicial quickly arrived J' at the conclusion thnt he had missed his bathroom by just one door. Of ! course he had quit shivering by this , time, but there was nothing to do but Ji slip back into his cold, wet bathing h suit. This he did with reluctance and slipped out and into his own room. And he was none too soon, for presently there was a patter of feet on the boards and the room which he had just va-)' va-)' cated was unlocked, i; Not paying much attention to the wet v condition of the floor and not noticing the wet towels in the corner of the I H room, the woman removed her bathing J suit and turned op the shower. It was i 1 not long before she realized that she J i had no. towels, "and then she set up a 1 noise about some one' having been In Yf- her room. A certain county official ' shook worse than he had with the shiv-s shiv-s i ers when he heard the deep base voice l! , of the woman's husband In the ndjoln-i ndjoln-i Ing room on the other side say: "I'd ! like to get a hold of him." j |
