from the face of the earth. The young
lady started around inside the brass railing
again to gather another lunch. When
finally she reached the street 1t was
raining and raising her umbrella sud-
denly, out fell the steak The umbrella
had been carried hooked over her arm
and in such a position had been the con-
tainer for the meat.
