The evening was chilly and our
friend soon perceived the need OF an
other blanket. He thought OF the berth
above, reached his hand up and pulled
a blanket down. 1t came hard. but he
got IL; and In few minutes he was
comfortably asleep. But not before he
had wondered what made the blanket
SO nice and warm around the neck.
There's no use In trying TO work up
to a climax I'm this yarn. The man
from whose sleeping form that blanket
had been dragged awoke with loud
complaints later In the night. And his
words were so violent that our artist
friend feared TO get up In the morn
