A young, copper was sent out
on hiS first night's duty. It was
in the winter time, and it was
snowing heavily. He went into
a country house to seek shelter,,
but he spread his. cape"1 outside
to let the snow cover it, as he was
to meet the inspector going back
and wanted him to think that he
was on duty all the time. When
the snow was overvhe started on
his beat again, and soon met the
inspector, whose sharp salute was
"Not quite smart enough. Put
y"oiir hat out as well as your cape
the next time you get into shelter."
