quired the tall man.
Laughing gas" replied the doctor.

ENTIRELY so" It ~
The tall man seated himself in the
operating chair, and the doctor inserted
between the patients teeth an old cham
payne cork. Then he placed funnel
shaped piece Of rubber over the tall
mans mouth and nose and told him to
breathe heavily. Gradually concious-
ness gave way under the influence Of
the gas, but not until the man to be
operated upon had suffered the sensa-
ton of being smothered under an old
fashioned feather pillow.
The tall man was now in dreamand.
He first imagined that he was on his
way to the Worlds Fair, and when the
train was on a down grade and going
sixty miles an hour the wheels left the
track. The .air-brakes broke and She
cars rushed fiong at terrible speed. Wit
was with the greatest difficulty that the
dreamer kept his berth. Tremendous
jolting was caused by the wheels rum
ming over the ties. The suspense was
something awful; the wreck OF the train
was inevitable. The car was filled with
the shrieks of the terrified passengers,
mingled with the. crash otglass and the
rattle Of the train. Suddenly there was
a deafening report and tremendous
concussion, and the cars appeared to
crumble away.
The tall man found himself in total
darkness, but suddenly to his horror, he
discovered streak Of lurid flame through
the wreckage, yhich told him he wq1ld
be roasted alive il immediate succor did
not reach him. He could hear voices
directly over hinS but do as he would not
a sound could he utter The flames
were making rapid progress toward the
place where he was confined and their
hot breath was beginning TO SINCE his
whiskers. Then came the crash al an AK
directly over his head. The first blow
struck him squarely in the back of the
neck, and he felt that his time had sure
ly come. The next one cut of his left
ear, and the third opened up space in
his Uranium the size of saucer. The
fire had now crept up to his feet, and
the left one was slowly roasting, when
another blow from the AK, greater than
all the rest, knocked his head clean from
his body. He experienced singular
buzzing in his ear; there was a CLEAN of
light in the distance and with bound
he returned to consciousness. E...
The doctor was standing over him,
holding double tooth in his forceps.
"That was an old stager, and no mis-
take. How he did hang! 1t took all my
strength to dislodge him." and the doc
tor wiped his dripping forehead with his
handkerchief. .....
"where a-a-am II" were the first words
OF the tall man.
"Why, right here in my Office" re-
sponded the doctor. "You would have
had tough time if you hadn't taken
the gas" .s
"Well, il it had been rougher than it
actually was would now be a corpse"
and the tall man paid the $3.50 and
went out into the street, feeling as If he
had been walking in treadmill for a
