insisted that Campana should not wnste
himself by further leapinR. but Campana
said that hc did 1t only to show tho boys that no

with motion that an accented note Mt the end
Of bar Of music brings to the shoulder Of the
man who plays thc double bass. and he had
been clawng very far ahead with the out
stretched fingers OF one hand and very Tar be-
hind with those Of the other alternately. Tho
