Show "When Greek Meets Greek." The other day, in Paris, a lady returned re-turned from a promenade at dinner time to her home. She went to the kitchen to see if everything was right there, and as the inspection there did not have the wished-for result, she sent Justine, her servant girl, to buy some more provisions. Suddenly the door bell was rung, and when the lady opened the door, a man rushed in and menacingly brandished a knife, uttering utter-ing the words, "Your plate or your life !" Perfectly dumbfounded, the frightened lady pointed . to a large clothes press stand ng in the kitchen. Perhaps her intention was only to gain time, for the plate was not there at all. The robbers hastened to the clothes press and opened it ; but to his terror, and to the great surprise of the lady, there stepped from it a tall grenadier, who disarmed the robber and took him to the station house, previously saying, "Excuse me, madam, I was waiting there for Justine." |
