for umbrellas, at least you would have
thought so had you seen the expression Of
surprise on the face of a customer of Mr.
Patrick MCGready few evenings ago
Rastir g his dripping parachute against the
door frame, the customer turned to pay Mr.
NIcGready for purchase of tobacco. The
transaction was IA small one, and necessarily
consumed hut little time. The store front
was lighted and the street bright. But presto
change! In spite of both of them, standing
within three feet Of the umbrella, the pesti
ferrous fend had spirited it away. AND
they are as much puzzled now as then
when they think how adriotly the job had
been done Mild requests for its return
and no questions asked, don't work worth a
cent Both tieud and umbrella are still AT
large.
