Fath Iw bein in Europe he machine machin was made free tree to son Cuyler Seems S ems that Mrs Cuyler was W away with the theold old eld ld folks too t o and a whole lot lol cheaper than payin the

countin in up how much he was savin Fact Is he seemed to enjoy enjo It And by crossing Brooklyn bridge in instead instead instead stead of taking tho the ferry says heI het he r can make the entire trip without spendin a cent Youre a wonder says I L But say I half appreciate him I was figurin on seem him let loose of some coin after we got to the island Ever know any anyone one to get clear of Coney without givin up a few t quarters quartes Well ll Id never seen it done 1 until Cuyler showed me the way Does he stow the car in a garage and get gett t out where the barkers and pullers In Jn Incan incan can have a fair show Not him He dont even unbolt the door We Just Tolls rolls up UI and ard down a couple of times pangs of oC envy like a aI I cart sheds water and then p we heads for the city again without so I t much as open a bag of pea peanuts peanuts peanuts nuts Ever tap one of them Manhattan Bach Brich B dinners says sas I not of course No says sa s he I r always carry a luncheon hamper with me Think of a man that has oodles of it within reach cold sandwiches over a a course Just lined with cafes and road houses I begun If I offer otter to pay for or half of the Wed a a couple of miles mlles up the boulevard from the beach when some thin happens to the spark and Frenchy has to haul up to one side of the road and crawl underneath with the monkey wrench Cuyler and I had climbed out to stretch our legs In the parkway when nhen we most steps on the queerest qu rest lookin freak I ever see at large He was on the grass with his back up against a tree rollin a cigarette And Ind say Ive seen some fancy regalia worn in place of clothes but I never got real close to such a dippy costume as as that Mostly It was unbleached cotton with a couple of or orcar careless car less folds fol s makin the high water pants and some more of it draped over the shoulders and tucked into a red and and green sash He Ho has a bonnet made of ot same stuff a dinky little vest with sLyer sl er buttons and gold old braid on It it and a pair of at shingles tied on his feet for shoes Sandals Maybe But barrin the bonnet it was a ahot hot waye wave get up for tor fair fairI I Is It a a new deal In suits or what says I to Cuyler An Oriental costume of some sort sort says he Oh one of them rug peddlers eh eli says I He must have strayed from the island Wait Walt till I try him with the Elks distress signal With that I puts my thumbs to my ears and wiggles my fingers Just for a Josh Ever have them funny fits when you feel like got to do some thin batty or bust I guess It must have han been the effect of ot bein so long with Cuyler Hes always as serious as If he tie was buryin bur ln his grandmother and andas andas andas as stiff as if hia spine was a zinc rain Pipe Course I want lookin for any an swerin move from the mummy Them folks talks never neer seem real human to me Ive watched em in show shO windows and you tell whether they was alive or just wound up But some way this fool play of mine seems to make a hit with this one He Jerks his chin up and them big black eyes e el of or his come open wide So I does it again I moren moren started before he untangles himself and stands up And say sa when he straightens out his joints hes a good deal of a boy six foot two if he hc was an nn inch and built as lean and stringy as old Fitz Ay yak yah ah says he It out deep Ay yak yah ah Ay yah Then he goes through motions a good deal like mine only his fingers lingers out straight instead of up Gee says I no great stunt Hows this Well VeIl I must have made good for forthe forthe forthe the next thing I knows he is bendin himself double his hi arms out like he was goin gain to dive and uncork sin fin the swiftest set of remarks I ever heard It sounded smooth and kind of singsong but there a word I could get next to t Did you catch any of that says I Ito Ito Ito to Cuyler He has edged off orr to t a safe distance and is the performance In that way wa of his Never a agrin agrin agrin grin though He Just shakes his head hend Guess have to slip sUp on another record says I to the stray Give it to tous tous tous us in English He looks mighty puzzled at that but buthe buthe buthe he makes out that hes breath by bJ so he falls back on motions First he hits himself on the chest next he points back toward Coney then he leans lenns forward runs his long neck out bobs his head from side to side Ide and goes Why Vh sure says I I as ts plain as print old leather face Youre foot coachman to one of pC them streets of Cairo camels Yes Ive heard that call caU lots of times What net next as far as he could go though so we stands there foolish at each other And say come to take a close view there was to the cuss besides just height He was as con considerable considerable on the brunette bein hem a nice terra cotta from his feet up up but he was sas as far from the Rufus Rastus class as I am from bein hem an Albino He has a nose like an m eagle and a pair of eyes that lights up like a cats eats does in inthe inthe inthe the dark Then the way a he carries his head and shoulders Why there in that circus outfit with his bare legs he looks a as and I satisfied as any an floor walker you ever eversee eversee eversee see and anybody that can throw thron a front like that always gets me inter interested interested Interested
