The German policeman himself admitted
that the situation was awkward. If the

the usual crowd, to the nearest police pris.

One morning In a continental city came
across disturbance-it might be more cor
rect to say the disturbance came across
me: II swept down upon me, enveloped me
before knew that was IN Il. A fox ter
rier II was belonging to n very young lady
1t was when the disturbance was to a GER
tain extent over that we discovered ne be-
longed to this young lady: She arrived to-
ward the end of the disturbance very
much out of breath; she had been running
for mile, poor girl. and shouting most OF
the way. When she looked round and saw
all the things that had happened and had
had other things that she had missed ex-
planned to her, she burst into tears. The
English owner of fox terrier would have
given one look around and then have
Jumped upon the nearest tram-going any
where. But. as have said. the foreigner
Is born good. I left her giving her name
and address to seven different people.

But 1t was about the dog I wished to
speak more particularly. He had COM
menced innocently enough, trying to catch
sparrow. Nothing delights a sparrow
more than being chased by a dog A dozen
times he thought he had the sparrow Then
another dog had got In his way. l don't
know what they call this breed of dog, but
abroad 1t is popular: II has no tail, and
looks like a pig-when things are going well
with II. This particular specimen. when 1
saw him, looked more like part of door
mat. The fox terrier had seized II by the
scrun OF the neck and had rolled IL over
into the gutter just In front of a motor
cycle. Its owner. a large lady. had darted
out to save il, and had collided with the
motor cyclist. The large lady had been
thrown some half dozen yards against an
Italian boy carrying a tray-load OF plaster
images. have seen a good deal Of trouble
In my life, but never one yet that did not
have an Italian image vender somehow or
other mixed up In II. Where these boys
hide in times of peace is a mystery. The
chance OF being upset brings them out as
sunshine brings out flies. The motor cycle
had dashed into a little milk cart and had
tram lines. The tram traffic looked like
being stopped for a quarter of an hour, but
the idea OF every approaching tram driver
appeared to be that by ringing his bell
with SUFFICIENT vigor this seeming obstruc-
ton would fade away and disappear.
In an English town all this would not
have attracted much attention. Somebody
would have explained that dog was the
original cause, and the whole series Of
events would have appeared ordinary and
natural. Into these foreigners the fear

GOODNESS THAT
CRATES ON US

Copyright. 1905. by Jerome K. Jerome)
1871 HE advantage that the foreigner
possesses over the En;ylishman Is
that he Is born good. He does
u not have to try to be good, as we
do He does not have to start the
new year with the resolution to be gooo'
and succeed. bar accidents, in being so TIL
1.-THE middle of January. He just Is good all
the year round. When foreigner Is told
to mount or descend from tram on the
near side. Il does not occur to him that 1t
would be humanity possible to secure egress
from or ingress to that tram from the on
side. In Brussels once witnessed daring
attempt by lawless foreigner to enter
tram from the wrong side. The gate was
omen: he was standing close behind it. A
line of traffic was in his way; to have got
taround to the right side of that tram would
have meant missing 1t. He entered when
the conductor was not looking and took his
seat The establishment of the conductor
on finding him there was immense. How
did he get there? The conductor had been
watching the proper entrance, and the man
had not passed him. Later the true ex-
lplanation suggested itself to the conductor,
but for awhile he hesltated to accuse
fellow human being of such crime. He
appealed to the passenger himself. Was his
presence there to be accounted for by mira
Gle or by sin?

The passenger confessed. 1t was more
In sorrow than in anger that the conductor
requested him at once to leave. The pas
isenger proving refractory halt was called
and the gendarmerie appealed to- After the
manner of policemen, they sprang, as 1t
were, from the ground and formed up be-
hind an imposing officer whom 1 took to
ibe their sergeant At first the sergeant
could hardly believe the conductors state
ment Even then, had the passenger as
serted that he had entered by the proper
entrance his word would have been taken.
Much easier to the foreign official mind

temporary blindness than that man born
of woman would have deliberately done
anything expressly forbidden by a printed
notice. Myself, in his case, I should have
lied and got the trouble over. But he was

was pointed out to him that he must de-
scend Immediately and wait for the next
tram Other gendarmes were arriving
from every quarter resistance under the
circumstances seemed hopeless. He said he
would not get down. He made to descend
this time by the proper gate, but that was
not justice. He had mounted the wrong
side. he must alight the wrong side.
There Is law throughout Germany-an
excellent law 1t is, I would we had II in
England-that nobody may scatter paper
about the street. An English military
friend told me that one day in Dresden, I'M
acquainted with this rule, he tore a long
letter he had been reading into some fifty
fragments and threw them behind him. A
policeman stopped him and explained to him
quite politely the law upon the subject. My
military friend agreed that 1t was a very
good law, thanked the man for his informa-
ton and said that for the future he would
bear 1t in mind. That as the policeman

was angry with them. A policeman ran to
catch the dog. The delighted dog rushed
backward, barking furiously, and tried to
throw up paving stones with his hind legs.
That frightened nursemaid who was
wheeling a perambulator, and then 1t was
that 1 entered into the proceedings. Seated
on the edge of the pavement, with per-
ambulator on one side of me and a bowling
baby on the other, l told that dog what

me, l told him in English.
