“Gentlemen. I presume all of you hevr
at some time or other noticed a sign,
‘Keep 0f! the Greet.’ " said the man with
the crutches as he came into the smoker
and set down after much snort.
Moetof us assured him that we had met
such a sign at some period of our lives,
end he continued:
"And the minute you ecteyee on thh
sign you had a rebellious. defiant feeling

All of us this time assured him thathe
was perfectly correct on the grass question,
and that, furthermore. we never had seen
a sign of “No Admittance" without be-
ing tempted to enter upon the premises.
“Thanks, gentlemen, thanks!" blandly
exclaimed the cripple. "I am glad to find
that I am not the only fool in the United
States. Naturally enough, when one noes

how it. happened. Good manners oppose

to give you particulars. Perhaps some of

some of you may have noticed a pet hear
there belonging to the station mentor."
“A half grown cinnamon hear chained
to e pole. I new hint," replied the black
whiskered men with the brler root pipe.
“That's the one, gentlemen. He was
as big as a house when I saw him, but
maybe he was only half grown for ell
that. All around that incloeure were
signs of ‘Dangor! Don’t Approach the
Beari' My oycs no sooner rusted upon
those signs than Iny proud American spirit
rovolted. In other words, I was seized
with a wild desire to approach."
“And you approached?" queried the
black whiskcred man. 3
“I did. To show those Unltfil States
that I couldn't be bluflod I walked right
up to that hear. I didn‘t care a copper
whether he was a polar, grlzely, cinnamon
or plain black. The boast was muzzlcd
but as I reached him he rose up on his
