the flock followed. A crowd of people
closed around the door, aud the bell-weth-
er, finding no back passage, turned about
and leaped clear thro' the show window
upon the pavement, demolishing in his
progress the glassware and China. The
crowd then fell back from the door to allow
the remainder of the flock free passage !;
