rural deestricks," equipped with car
pet-bag and umbrella, and knowing
nothing about this rule, slips past the
door-keeper unnoticed. But, if the door
keeper overloooks him, the boys do not.
The instant he is seen, two or three
brokers move quietly between him and
the door, and then elbow and push him
forward, apparently by accident, until
they get him a considerable distance
from it. One of them then cries out

The meaning of this is known by all.
1t is signal that a stranger is on the
floor. Instantly the whole business of
the place is suspended, terrific yell is
raised-one that would do credit to any
band of savages on the continent-and
the frightened and bewildered country
man finds himself pitched and hustled
hither and thither, up and down, across
and around, by q surging, screaming,
laughing crowd, and, if he looks upward,
he may see his hat dancing through the
air In one direction, his carpet-bag In an
other, and his venerable umbrella in q
third. But, fortunately for the stranger,
there is help at hand. One of the door
keepers dashes into the crowd, grasps
him by the collar, and pulls him by
main force to the door, whittier his hat,
carpet-bag, and umbrella, follow him,
and he makes his way to the street as
quickly as he can, hardly knowing
whether he has escaped from band Of
Indians or lunatic aylum, but very
glad to have escaped at all. It is very
rarely that any one is injured in these
sports of the brokers. The play may
be somewhat rough, but there is no in.
tention to hurt, and nerves and clothing
suffer about the only damage that il
done.
