The king and queen and the high
powers of the knights enjoyed the dis

they were served by walters, while the
multitude fought for their food.

in a descent upon an array
of long tables at which men
were harpooning sandwiches and
dipping salad. The successful
raiders were rewarded by the walters
with cups of coffee to add to their
perils as they bore their plates away.
There was q great clatter and buzz>in
the room. On the platform where
the distinguished personages of the
carnival sat there was now much
laughing. q
..Margrave's pretty noisy tonight, .
observed Raridan, biting into his sand
wich, and sweeping the platform with
a comprehensive glance
I You mustn't forget that this is a
carnival" replied Saxton. He had
followed his friends eyes and knew
that it, was not the horse-laugh of
Margrave that troubled him, but the
vista which disclosed both Wheaton

some part of your forearm will land
on the side of his head or face and
the effect will be not unlike that pro-
duced by blow from a baseball bat.
II you merely wish to avoid his
rush and do not want to counter on
him, pivot on your right foot instead
of on your left. That will take you
out Of his reach Let me warn you
again to be careful how you employ
this pivot blow in a friendly bout.
The last blow we shall take UP to-
day was invented by kid" Mccoy and
used by him in knocking out Steve
O'Donnell, three years ago.
Swing for your opponents face with
your left. If you land, or if he blocks
the blow, try again until he draws
back and the swing goes past his face.
Now, bring back the hand toward the
left and land on his face on the return
journey. This return must be very
rapid, and the body must turn slightly
at the same time in order to give
strength to the blow, which would 9TH
erwise be merely a slap.
Let the left 60 past his face, re-
member, and then bring it back, land
ing it against the left side Of the jaw,
the arm being bent and the impetus
supplied by the shoulder and body. 1t
is not difficult and can be used to
great effect against any one who is
not accustomed to it.
In our next lesson will teach you
some splendidly effective ways of TAX
ing care of yourself should you be at
tackled on the street or elsewhere, No
fight If he can possibly avoid it. Still,
it is we'll to know how to defend your
self should such a quarrel be forced
