dog pitched into the womans dog and
the latter was getting much the worse OF
the battle, when the woman called upon
the iceman TO save her canine. The Ice
man was only too willing TO respond. He
grabbed one OF the dogs by the tail and
was pulling for dear life. when the wom-
an whacked him over the head with her
umbrella telling him that he was pulling
the wrong dog. The iceman made "A
short but decisive speech and threw up
the JOB. The woman will not forget the
speech that he made. When the iceman
reached thu sidewalk. he told his helper
that's what YOU get for doing a stranger
a good turn"
