In Pinch. Baggageman
ff as True to His Trade
Along the dark and lonely road
plodded a solitary figure. Behind
him lurked three shadows, which
chose their moment and sprang
upon the unwary one.
Three to one! The odds were
heavily against the victim, but did
he falter? Not on your life! One
by one his assailants were sent
flying, to lie bruised and stunned
on the cold, wet ground.
Up dashed a policeman. He sur
veyed the wreckage, and then
turned to the hero, who was coolly
lighting a cigarette.
“ Jujitsu?” he asked admiringly.
“No,” was the reply. “ Railway
baggageman.”
