for two games of handball, and, these

concluded.
His color has greatly improved since
he began outdoor work, and his pallor
has in a large measure departed.
Among his numerous letters Corbett

to outdoor work for both men for some
at a late hour tonight, and there is
every probability that by tomorrow
