this was set forth by the minutes OF the
last meeting, which were read by Mr..
Gus Johnson, and approved.
At this exciting junCture, slow, sad
footsteps echoed along the hall, and Mr..
ToOter Williams entered, nodded polite
ly to the assembled company and sided
over to the stove. Mr.. Williams was
attired somewhat imprudently for so
cold a night, for he wore pair Of
check trousers made for him last July
and blazer in which, during the dog
days, he had disported himself at Coney
Island.
Oats bad coff; wharjer kotch lt?"
sympathetically inquired Mr.. Whites,
not so much because he took any spe-
cial interest in Mr.. Williams pulmonary
condition, but because be had three
Jacks and wanted TO distract the pro-
fessor's attention from the fact that he
was going to deal himself only two
cards.
"Mkh! XII! XII" coughed Mr.. Will
Jams in hoarse response. And then he
gloomily added: II done cotCh dat
Kh. khl-dat cole on de lass night we
hold XII! XII! XII! XII! meetin'."
The professor called Mr.. Whiffles'
three Jacks with pair OF mines, and ST.
lently frothed at the mouth when he
discovered his mistake.
"Mkh! XII"
The professor whirled liercely. "Koff
in somebody else's year, he yelled to
Mr.. Williams. "My year amt no lung
tester, n it amt no telephone, n de
club amt no hoSspittle, n it amt no po
house." he added, with a whitening
glance at Mr.. Williams attire.
"Pll-kh! kh!-coff jest ez much ez l
XII! kh.-dam please" retorted Mr..
Williams, who was getting warmed up.
"Gwoff'n air yo'se'f," said the profess
sor. Dat lass onion free lunch 20 ate
was moldy."
However astonishing to the Professor,
il was not altogether a surprise to the
elder, Mr. WHITES and Mr.. Johnson
when they saw Mr.. Williams extend his
right arm at full length, and then, just
as the professor, TO his great delight,
had discovered three tens in his hand,
TO see Mr.. Williams smite that accom-
plished gentleman under the right ear
with a violence which flung him half
across the room, and finally to behold
Mr.. Williams follow up these advant-
apeous tactics by climbing TO the sum-
NIT of the PROSTATE professors abdo-
men and proceed to maui him with
celebrity and skill, which commanded
even the elders honest admiration.
"Temme upm said Professor Brick,
who was startled.
Mr.. Williams only reply was to weave
his fingers firmly through the profess
sor's hair and favor the company with a
bass.drum obligatO by scientifically
butting the professors head against the
floor.
"Leggo my kinks" yelled thu pro-
fessor. "Git often my dinnah"
"M-kh! XII. XII! Does you trow up de
sponge?" inquired Mr.. Williams, max
ing three double knocks on the floor
with the professors head.
.Yezzah," replied the professor in
tones of breathless gloom. IN yo Kin
coff all yo' wants." he added, to show
that his apology was sincere.
At this exciting moment the door
slowly opened several inches, and a
blast OF cold air entered from the hall,
| ACCOMPANIED by an eXhalation which, al

INNS. would have been taken as an in

Another pause.
"Dat's Tankfull Sniff" hoarsely whis
! nered Professor Brick. 'Lemme up!
"Kh. kh! damf' will" replied Mr.
Williams.
"Apeiles meet me at de-he" Her,
there was another pause, and then th'
unseen presence became q visible en-
mItv in the person OF the Rev. Mr.
thankful Smith, who slowly blew in

room. including the stove, smile o
