Simkins, a little bald man, seated him
self to read, but dropped. off to sleep.
I On the rack was a ferocious crab in a
bucket, and when Simkins went to
sleep the crab woke up, and finding
things dull in the bucket, started ex
ploring. By careful investigation Mr.
Crab reached the edge of the rack.
Down it fell, alighing on Simkin's
shoulder, where it grabbed the man's
ear to study itself. The passengers
held their breath and waited for de
velopments, but Simkins only shook
his head and said: "Leggo, Sarah! I
tell you I've been at the office all
the evening!"
