ALL nature seemed to be resting in a quiet dreamy slumber. The bee had well nigh laid up its winter store, and many of the birds were preparing to leave for more genial climes in the sunny south.

In the waiting windless dark, Lewis Stillman pressed into the building-front shadows along Wilshire Boulevard.
