You see, the gentleman in question
was going away for a little trip and
Just as he was leaving the office some
one called him on the telephone and so
he had to run like everything to catch
his train. And how was he to know
that the lock of his suitcase had not
latched and that the straps had worn
thin; but, however it may be, this posi-
lutely" happened. He went flying up
the steps of Broad Street Station at
18th street, and just as he reached the
top the strain on the suitcase proved
a bit too much, and open flew the bag
and all over the top steps went collars,
ties, socks, handkerchiefs, razors' soap
and-more intimate pink silk articles,
such as fastidious youths sport 1t was
a shame TO laugh, but how could one
help II. Be this said for his consolation.
evidently his watch had been fast, for
/ saw him look desperately toward the
clock, and joyous surprise lit up his
countenance. And he gathered his be-
longings with the aid of several kindly
7 peS9ns and caught his train with full
fve minutes grace
