Springley and 1 took long pleasure
trip covering the last six weeks and
large part Of the country, says the De-
troit Free Press. At least, it was
pleasure trip for me. He made me
good big wager before starting that he
could have a glorious time without tip
ping any one during the whole tire
we were gone. He was to enjoy the
benefit of my generosity, but to act as
though travelling alone when we en-
countered those who expected to be
fed.
The first night on the sleeper he
Jared very well. In the morning he
put on his neatly polished russets, had
his clothes brushed, and then turned
his back on the bowling porter. Then
the trouble began. He received no at
tention except of the most aggravating
kind. Every once in awhile the porter
would appear with a waiter for the
dining car and they would look at
SpringIey as though viewing some hui
man curiosity or piece of waxworks.
II took an. hour, of threatening and
clustering for him to get table and
q deck of cards. At dinner he was kept
waiting till nearly every one else was
done, and then his food was served in
. heap as at 9 10-cent soup-and-hash
cafe. There was nothing palatable and
each attempt to get something better
was futile, though he made enough fuss
to attract everybody's attention. The
other passengers began to look at him
sskant That night he slept in howl
ing draft, with hole in the top blanket
chat he could have crept through. Next
morning he looked like man in the
latter stages of hay fever and it took
him sn hour to get matutinal drink
