A Friend In Nhh1
Two boys, one the possessor of a
permit, were fishing on a certain es
tate when a gamekeeper suddenly
darted from a thicket.
The lad with the permit uttered a
cry of fright, dropped his rod and ran
off at top speed. The gamekeeper
was led a swift chase. Then, worn
out, the boy halted. The man seised
him by the arm and said, between
pants:
"Have you a permit to fish on this
estate?"
"Yea, to be sure," said the boy,
qu!tly.
"You have? Then show it to me."
The boy drew the permit from his
pocket. The man examined it, and
frowned in perplexity and anger.
"Why did you run when you had
this permit?" he asked.
"To let the other boy get away,"
was the reply. "He didn't have any."
There's a IleaRon
Young Adolphua de Milyuns was
out driving his own car. He was a
scorcher and believed in going
straight ahead. It was In the heart
of the Berkshires.
Suddenly a terrific clucking under
the wheels told him some accident
had happened. He pulled up and
glanced back. Two fowls lay dead
In his tracks, while another two were
fleeing, screeching, back to home and
safety.
"That'll be $12, please," remarked
a burly man in corduroys, who ap
peared on the scene promptly; "that
Is $3 apiece for the four."
"Four!" gasped Adolphus. "But
I only killed two."
"That's right," agreed the fowls'
owner; "but them other two will nev
er lay a blessed egg after this."
"I'm sorry," said the motorist, as
he handed over the money. "Due to
fright, I suppose?"
The countryman shook his head as
he pushed the bills into his pocket.
"Partly fright," he agreed, slowly,
"but mainly it's because they ain't
hens!"
