failed to recognize him in the padded
monster that now staggered clumsily into
the room, supported on each side by his
second and sword bearer. The thick armor
Of leather and wadding with which be was
bolstered entirely protected his body and
limbs. His neck was rigidly iDcased In q
high, thick COLLAR Of silk and whipoord,
and his eyes we're protected by iron Cog
giles as large as small teacups, from which
a strap passed round the ears to be buokled
at the back Of the head. His second was
somewhat similarly equipped, and in ad-
dition wore q leather cap with a strong
Iron peak. The other. principal presently
entered the room and took up his position
at one swords length from Zimmerman.

divided his time pretty equally between a

Of which the painted china bowl rested on

Of short bouts or "gangs," with brief in

long, nasty looking blades, sharp as ra-
gors and flexible as riding switohes-were
carefully wiped with disinfecting lotion
and banded to the combatants. The Sec

the left of their respective men, and gave
the word Of command in the following ira

storm Of blows 80 rapid that the eye refuses
to follow them and retains onlya confused
impression Of flashing steel and flying
sparks. The head Of each combatant seems
to be enveloped in a halo Of cleaning
points. 1t Is impossible to realize that
each of these lightning strokes Is deliber-
ately and scientifically aimed and as de-

Nioe For Nervous People.

A party Of Cambridge professors on n
occasion undertook, for a scientific object,
to penetrate into the depths Of q Cornish
mine.
One of the number relates the following
startling incident Of his visit: On bis
ascent In the ordinary manner, by
of a bucket and with q miner for q fellow
passenger, he perceived, as he thought, un-
mistaksble symptoms Of the frailty Of the
rope.
"How often do you change your ropes,
my good manr" he inquired when about
half way from the bottom Of tho awful
abyss.

SIR" replied the man in the bucket, "and
we shall change this one tomorrow II we
get up safe today, sir. "-Pearson's Weekly.
