night over my left shoulder and L saw
two black dogs on the street immedi-
ately after. You can't tell me about
good-luck after that"
Everybody sympathized with him
except a man In the corner, who
took off his spectacles and wiped
them.
What did you say9"

"a little late for the new moon TO
be out, isn't it,"
Then it struck the crowd, and they
yelled. On investigation it proved

black dogs were iron, outside of q
wine vault. He felt happier; but
somehow he was not superstitious
enough to overcome the give-away.
