leader OF the trio began minute in
spection of the tablecloth. Presently
he put his finger on several littl"
scorched spots.
See this?" he said to the waiter.
Yes sir"
Well" said the man. just bear in
mind. won't you. that these holes were
here when We came H. and when We
get through don't tack a dollar onto
our bill to pay for burned table linen. -
That's all right" said the waiter.
I'll look out for that"
The order having been given the
cautious diner elucidated his remarks
su!l further. THAT is a trick those
fellows have" he said. Somebody
burns the tablecloth with sparks from
a cigar and gets away before the dam
age is discovered, and the next conner.
II he happens to be smoker. is
blamed for his predecessors sins. and
Is charged with the cost Of the linen.
