They were on the aijert for the first sign of his starched white suit and well trimmed beard. About that time, when the crowd was growing impatient, Mr. Smythe wandered upon the secene. His pail-on-wheels and his broom had been parked on another street. He was: drawn from the routine of work by an urge to see what was going on. He sagntered into the crowd. An eagle-eyed youth rushed torward and.grabbed his hand, shaking it delightedly. Mr. Smythe responded to the handshake rather uncertainly, but the youth seemed to be well intentioned so the street cleantr smiled.
