Bikey the Skicycle and Other Tales of Jimmieboy

by John Kendrick Bangs

"Here's an invitation from the mayor to a young man who is said to be on this car," said the baboon. "If he is, will you give it to him?"

"Certainly," said the porter, his face wreathing with smiles. "Certainly. He's hyah."

Jimmieboy watched all this with interest, little thinking that the invitation was for no less a person than himself. He soon discovered the fact, however, for the porter came to him instantly and handed him the envelope. It was addressed simply to:

MASTER JIMMIEBOY,

Care of the Porter,

Express Train, No. 6098.

Kindness of

Thomas Baby Elephant.

"For me?" cried Jimmieboy.
