D, number Of whose citizens used
to gather of cold winters day in the
office of a livery stable which was
kept by q nervous man. The office
was small ana very stuffy, neverthc-
less it was always kept as hot as a
sweat-boX in winter. There was a
large old-fashioned stove with 4 bulg-
ing body in the middle Of the office and
often when it grew too hot even for
the seasoned chair warmers the stove
door was thrown open, Offering 4
glowing mark for the tobacco eaters.
Now, I used to like to drop in at the
office myself once in q while but the
crowd there used TO bore me with their
talk about the wonderful performances
of the skates they owned. one day l
conceived the brilliant idea Of giving
this crowd Of chair warmers a scare
which would make them forget for the

owned all the trappings of first-class
Nimrod. He. too, had often been
driven to drink by the conversation of
the chair warmers, and his eyes
glstened when l laid the details of the
plot before him. He agreed without
hesitation to aid me and we fixed on
that afternoon for pulling off the
score.
AT about . o'clock l stroIled into the
office of the livery stable. 1t was Il
very cold afternoon and the chair
warmers were there in force. The air
in the place was sitting and through
the open door of the stove could be
seen an almost white hot fire Shortly
after I arrived I contrived by much |
pushing. crowding and grumbling to
get seat directly opposite the door of |
the stove. When | took off my gloves !
