Those who are accustomed to the Old Man are in the habit of noting a few premonitory signs which will always pretty well forecast the kind of speech he will make.

The coach was travelling at a dizzy speed six miles in the last half-hour when, without having manifested the slightest premonitory symptom of unsteadiness, Sir Ferdinando suddenly toppled sideways off his seat and fell, head foremost, into the road. An unpleasant jolt awakened the slumbering passengers. The coach was brought to a standstill; the guard ran back with a light.

"England," he replied triumphantly, feeling this was a mighty password throughout the world. "You are not an Englishman?" "No-o," he faltered. "I have lived in England some many years."

A new generation of suckers is gettin' ready to bite. Look into this thing, Al, and don't be a chump."
But perhaps these men regarded themselves as tigers. Mr. Goodnight gave a premonitory cough, and taking his hands out of his pockets let his coat-tails drop. This also was a signal. "Mr.
