then the real fun began. Some one
proposed that they duck for apples, and
the necessary articles connected with
the game were procured. William

they represent Addicks and Higgins.
This was agreed to with a hurrah for
the former and Kisses for the latter.
Apples were marked with the names of
the "two friends" tied TO the stem.
They "ducked" for the apples, and
Higgins" secured the majority. Then
a fight ensued. Madame Fisher, with
several other dusky damsels. procured
brooms and clubs, and with these they
cleaned out the house.
The men returned, however, and
play was resumed. Captain Kane,
who was passing the place at the time,
stopped and ordered them to desist.
They refused to, and the push wagon
was called. Fisher and his wife, Will
