AN ATHLETIC YouNts woSrAN.
Gymnasium rraetIce snd Courage Era

s(EogisyilIe pos!.j

One dark night last week a slender,
blonde young lady, who has gone in for
gymnastic work till her slender limbs
have muscles like steel springs, was walk
ing along dark street alone. 1t was
only 8or $50 O'Clock, and the young lady
was,i't timid anyway.
One particularly dark place OH her way
home WIS where there ras dead wall all
atongson side Of the street for nearly n
square.
As she was passing the dead wall a
.half-grown negro jostled against her, and
before she knew what he was after he
grabbed her pockatbook and started to
run
For ali her good sense, and good muscle
she carried her portmonnaie in her hand,
as ninc-tslths Of the gentler sex Go. But
before the negro had time to get out OF
reach she sprang at him, and her strong
fingers hooked into the collar of his rag
ged coat. A quick jerk threw the negro
on lis back on the brick pavement.
Then she dropped on her knees on the
scared negro's chest, and Selling hs head
between her gloved hands she bumped it
up and down On the bricks until he pray
ed for mercy. Then she picked up her
pocketbook from where the negro had
dropped it, and went on her way home,
her cheeks very red, but the glorious light
OF all athletic victory in her blue eyes.
This particular young lady, by the way,
can jump and catch the top of the cor
nice over an open door, and, clinging to
it merely by the strength of her dimpled
fingers, raise herself up till her chin is on
a level with her hands eight or nine times
without stopping.
