armed with machine guns. small guns,
hatchets. clubs, double barrelled cheese
knives and few other implements Of
torture and war, were pursuing him
for the avowed purpose OF hoisting him
henceward to the unknown and great
beyond. How could he withstand the
fury OF such mob. being armed only
with a pint OF red liquor Of dubious
origin and a toothoick! Even as he
told the officers OF his trouble he gave
start and a cry. that sounded not un-
like that Macbeth was wont TO utter
when Banuuo's ghost doomed up before
him.
II soon developed that John was suf-
fering from number OF complaints all
In one 20 wit: Snakes" The disease"
was brought on by whisky. The poor
fellow IL now In jail where his tor
mentors. real or imaginary. do not

the Pyramid contains oplaies or CO.
