At the end of ten minutes, he succeeded suc-ceeded in catching liis waiter's eye. "Look here, how long am I gping to have to wait for that grub I ordered?" or-dered?" he inquired. "Oh, I guess it won't be long, now," yawned the waiter. "In a hurry?" "In a hurry? Say, I ordereu a meal without meat because it is meatless day. And if I have to wait five minutes min-utes longer it will be wheatloss day, and I won't get a darned thing!"
