How the Bad Boys Pa Figured at th'
Skating Rink.

"What broke your pa up at the
roller-skating rink ?" asked the gro
Gerry man.
go, everything broke him up" said
the bad boy. "Well, he had no bust
ness to be the best skater in North
America when he was boy. He said
he skated once from Albany to New
York in an hour and eighty minutes.
Me and my chum thought if pa was
such a terror on skates we would get
him to put Oh pair of roller skates
and enter him as the great unknown
and clean out the whole gang. We
told pa that he must remember that
roller skates were different from ice
skates and that maybe he couldn't
skate OH them; but he said it didn't
make any difference what they were
as long as they were skates, and he
would just paralyze the whole crowd.
So we got pair of big roller skates
for him, and while we were strapping
them OH pa, he looked at the skaters
glide around OH the smooth waxed
flood Just as though they were creased.
Then pa looked at the skates on his
feet after they were fastened-sort of
forlorn like, the way a horse thief
does when they put shackles on his
legs, and l told him if he was afraid
he couldn't skate with them we would
take them off; but he said he would
beat anybody there was there or break
suspender. Then we Strengthened
pa up and pointed him toward the
middle of theroom, and he said 1eggo,
and we just gave him little push to
start him and he began to 60.
you'd adide to have seen pa try
to stop. You see, you can't stick in
your heel and stop, like you can on
ice skates, and pa soon found that out,
and he began to turn sideways, and
then he threw his arms and walked
on his heels, and he lost his hat, and
his eyes began to stick out, cause he
was going right towards an iron post.
One arm caught the post and he cir
cled round it few times, and then he
let 60 and began to fall, and, sir, he
kept falling all across the room, every
body got out Of the way except girl,
and pa grabbed her by the polonaise
like a drowning man grabs a straw,
though there wasn't any straws on her
polonaise as knew of, but pa just
pulled her along as though she was
done up in shawl strap, and his feet
went out from under him, and he
struck on his shoulders and kept ago.
ing, with the girl dragging along like
Dunule OF clothes.
"Well, sir, l was ashamed. An old
man like pa ought to know better than
to try to be boy. This last time pa
said he was going to spread himself,
and if | am any judge of big spread,
he did spread himself. Somehow the
skates had got turned around side
ways on his feet, and his feet got to
going in different directions, and pas
feet were getting so far apart that |

the size, with one leg apiece. / tried
to get him to take up a collection of
his legs, and get them both in the
same ward, but his arms flew around,

thought if he wanted to strike the best

friend he had he could run his old legs
himself. When he began to separate
| could hear the bones crack.
"The proprietor of the rink told pa
that if he wanted to give flying
trapeze performance he would have
to 60 to the gymnasium, and he
couldn't skate on his shoulders any
more, cause other skaters were afraid
of him. Then pa said he would whip
the proprietor of the rink, and he got
up and steadied himself, and then he
tried to kick the man, but his heels
went up to wonct, and pa turned a
back somersault and struck right on
his vest in front. l guess it knocked
the breath out of him, for he didn't
speak for few minutes, and then he
wanted to 60 home, and we put him
in street car and he laid down on
the hay and rode home. o, the work
we had to get pas clothes off, He
had cricks in his back, and every
where, and ma was away to one of
the neighbors, to look at the presents,
and l had to put liniment on pa and
I made a mistake and got bottle of
furniture polish and put it on pa and
rubbed it in, and when ma came home
pa smelt like a coffin at a charity
funeral, and ma said there was no
way of getting that varnish off pa till
it wore off. Pa says holidays are a
condemned nuisance anyway. He
