said last night if any leader was connected with
this sort of thing he should get out OF the

then burst into laughter. That is joke" he

thing he will never wear his uniform again.
You will see" concluded Mr. Croker sagely.

whereupon the latter again faced Poole
and hit the sphere out good and hard
