With Mr. Greenly in Europe.

Mr. Greenly was traveling in Eur9pe. He had plenty of money, abounding good nature and an almost inexhaustible fund of combined trust and ignorance. On the railway platform at Heidelberg he was rudly jostled by a student “Look here, young man,” said Mr. Greenly, surveying him with some disapproval but no rancor, “you hadn’t ought to crowd me so. I’ve got a right to stand here, same as you have.” The student gazed at him haughtily for a moment then: "I am at your service at any time and any place,” he said, in precise English, with a strong German accent. "You are!” and the beaming American hooked his arm within the other’s and got a firm grip on his coatsleeve. "You’re just the man I’ve been looking for. You carry this holdall, will you, while I tackle the suitcase? Do you charge by the hour or the piece?” —Youth’s Companion.
