THE CRIME

Oh Please!

"Just a minute please."

"Did you get a repair slip when you left the machine?"

"No. The clerk was out of them and wrote the thing down on a plain piece of paper."

"Just a second, pease."

"What kind of a machine was it, do you remember?"

"Let's see. Well, it was one of those medium-sized ones with the top: the kind you can set on a table I guess, too, they cost about fifty dollars when I got it about eleven years ago."

"Wait a moment, please."

. . . . . .

"Can you give me just a few more details please: you see it's rather hard to locate on account of there being no regular repair slip."

"Hmmmm. Well. Oh sure; it's exactly like the one here in the room."

GENTLE THUD AS RECEIVER AT OTHER END IS REPLACED ON THE HOOK.
