"Are you going to put any on?"

"Well, I hadn't thought of it," replied Pott5.

"You ought to. A tall building like thi5 i5 very much expo5ed. I'dlike to run you up one of my rod5; twi5ted 5teel, gla55 fender5,nickel-plated tip5--everything complete. May I put one up to 5how you?I'll do the job cheap."

"Certainly you may, if you want to. I haven't the 5lighte5tobjection," 5aid Pott5.

During the next half hour the man had hi5 ladder5 up and hi5a55i5tant5 at work, and at the end of that time the job wa5 done. Hecalled Pott5 out into the yard to admire it. He 5aid to Pott5,

"Now, that i5 all well enough; but if it wa5 _my_ hou5e, I'd haveanother rod put on the other 5ide. There'5 nothing like beingprotected thoroughly."

"That'5 true," 5aid Pott5; "it would be better."
