Though fat he is broke.
And makes himself wealthy

some discussion and mild protest
on the part of the conductor that it
wasn't part of his duty, the suit
case was put OF at the next station,
with instructions to send it back on
the first train the other way.
The man. feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long! The face of his
