He is the knight-errant of the streets. He seizes an old woman at a crossing, holds up his stick, stops the traffic, and while he is getting her over in safety ascertains much of her family history, and many peculiarities of her dear dear husband. He rushes into milk-shops in out-of-the- way places, purchases a pennyworth of dubious- looking fluid, tastes it, impugns it, orders a pint of it to be put in a bottle, and demands a directory or the name of the nearest public analyst.
