Just a Man!

In the long line of cabs and automo\ biles in front of a big New York hotel . was one car around which a few idlers 1 had gathered. Something was wrong. Prone upon the ground lay an animal of some kind. A dear old lady bap* pened along. She saw the little knot of people and put up her glasses to observe the cause. Then she saw the brown fur of the thing on the Icy a*> . phalt "Poor creature, poor creature!” said she aloud in her compassion. “Is Its leg broken?” She pushed close to the prostrate figure in the brown fur. It moved. The dear old lady took a closer look. Then she made a sound' approximating a ladylike snort. It was the chauffeur of one of the taxi* cabs, clad in his brown fuzzy coat, in l the usual attitude of flatness, tinkering the under part of his machine with! a monkey wrench. The dear old lady, all her sympathip! curdled, hurried on.
