Doing Ellis
a Favor
Conrad, threading his way across
the steamboat dock littered with
boxes and trunks and trucks and people,
saw Ellis at a distance and headed
his way.
Ellis was a man that It paid to cultivate.
Conrad was glad they were
crossing the lake on the same boat,
for there was the chance of a smoke
and a chat together.
"Great Jam tonitrht. Isn't there?"
Conrad remarked after greeting Ellis.
The man with whom Ellis had been
talking when Conrad came up laughed
at this. "There sure Is," he remarked.
"I can't get a berth, let
alone a stateroom! Guess I'll have to
sit up all night!"
Conrad eagerly grasped this chance
to do a favor for a friend of Ellis.
"You can have a berth in my stateroom,"
he said, cordially. "I'm alone
in It."
Later on Conrad sought his room.
Somehow he had lost Ellis after the
boat started. He had patiently patrolled
the decks without finding him,
and was consequently disgruntled. Ellis
had not even seemed decently
pleased at the kindness to his friend.
The stateroom door was locked.
Conrad rapped. There was no answer.
He rapped louder. He repeated
it.
The man In the next stateroom flung
open hie door crossly and asked Conrad
to stop trying to knock in a side
of the boat. He said he had pressing
business In port, and if Conrad
sunk the vessel and he had to
swim In he would be late for his appointment.
Thereupon Conrad kicked the door
of his stateroom. It was opened six
Inches and a sleepy and blinking face
peered forth. Conrad shoved himself
Inside.
"Who are you?" demanded the blinking
man.
"Here,, wake up!" replied Conrad,
disgustedly. "This is my stateroom,
and I'09-:nologr to hod?Ds^jJt you remember
that I offered to share with
you ?"
"Oh!" said the blinking man, comprehendlngly,
sitting,down. Then he
rolled over and went to sleep again.
Suddenly Gonrad gave a howl.
"What have you got In here?" he
asked.
The sleepy man sat up and regarded
the floor on which Conrad was
dancing. "Oh," he said, and seemed
amused. "They've got out, haven't
they? I must havp kicked a hole in
the paper covering! There's a hundred
of those crabs!"
"Then there are just a hundred too
many!" Conrad announced as he made
a leap for life.
"You see." said the other passenger,
sociably, "I'm going over to visit
a friend, and he's daffy about eating
little fresh water crabs. He asked
me to bring him pome. I put 'em
in a basket."
"Well, put 'em back!" Conrad'ordered,
ferociously.

and shooed,and coaxed and dived
headlong and at last had most of them

went to sleep once more.
Vastly irritated, Conrad retired. He
awoke later to And himself being
violently shaken by two strong hands.
"Don't you see It? Don't you see
it?" shouted a voice. Can't you
stop It?"
"Are those crabs loose again?" Conrad
cried in horror, making a spring
for the electric light switch.
"No, 110!" moaned the voice. "That
automobile! It's toppling over and
they'll all be killed!"
Conrad shook the sleep walker violently.
'Where am 1?" the man asked
when he came to.
"You'll be overboard in the lake if
you repeat that performance!" Conrad
told him. "I want to get a little
sleep."
In an hour a veil once more sent
Conrad to liis feet It seemed that a

circumstances, so Conrad merely detached
the crab, threw it out of the
window and tried again to sleep, but
by that time the boat had reached
shore. Sleepy and angry, he started
to dress. The other man was slumbering
as sweetly as a baby. He
woke up, though, when Conrad tried
to put on his shoes, because the
ihoes had crabs in them.
