NO NEED TO COUNT.
Two friends going home late one night, were startled out of their reverie by the thud of an object on the pavement. Going over, they found to their dismay that it was the body of a man, who, in answer to their inquiries, informed them that he had been thrown from a window three stairs up by half a dozen men, but that he wasn’t much hurt, and told them to wait for a few minutes, and he would throw them all out of the window, and “You might count them as they come.” A few minutes elapsed, a heavy thud—- “ One,” shouted his two confederates. “Stop counting! Stop counting! It’s me again!”
