cided German brogue bought a ticket
for a western point and then bought 8
sleeping berth and waited for his train
to be announced. AS soon as it was
called he got into line, occupied much
space with all his bags ana bundles
and made people in front and behind
him uncomfortable. He had no sooner
reached the platform than he dropped
his baggage and freight and pushed
his way back into the waiting room,
ran up to the police officer and said
breathlessly:
"Say, l lost my birthmark."
"Your birthmark? Where was it?"
Here in my pocket in."
''In your pocket? That's nice place
to have one," said the officer, wishing
to humor crazy man. How did 1t
iook?''
"Red-fool-like all birthmark. l
can without it not in the sleep wagon

dow, where they knew that the Ger
man meant berth check when he said
birthmark, and the matter was settled
to his satisfaction. The crowds had
gone through the door, and 1t was near
