was being dug for q sewer connection
in Claremont avenue, and to thaw the
frozen earth fires were built along the
line.
The toad. feeling The warmth, awcke
from IT'S winter sleep and hastened to
the surface. Just then passing smo-
ker threw away his burning stump OF
a cigar. which rested on small twig
that held il about two inches above
the ground. The toad, on the lookout
for a square meal. probably thinking
the flrefiv season had arrived. made
a lump for the stump and bolted It.
The toad jumped IN the air about
Shree feet, then alighted on the side
walk. A low faint c2oak preceded an
other jump, which was followed by'a
third. Then the toad hopped nimbiy
back 20 the grassy plot from which It
had emerged. no doubt returning TO its
winter home to think the matter over.
