And the dean went in. A rake
handle is not the best of bats, but
tho dean made mighty smite,
caught the ball on the half volley,
and away it went over all their
heads into IL Clump of bushes. Once
twice, thrice did the dean fly to the
stick and back-his breath was
gone, his face was scarlet-four
times.
II can't go again, he gasped pit
cously.
You must!" Helen had set her
heart on winning. Zone more and

the delay was almost fatal. for. rs
the dean turned to run back, Cap

Tn" dean hurrirdly picked up his
coat and hid rs much of his breath

Tn" bishop had decided he WAS fairly
in, SO his triumph enabled him to

Lady Damvr smiling; you appear

II am so sorry, stammcrcd the
