ers Jim" was an invited guest, and
when the party broke up. after mid.
light, and he set out for his island,
he was so completely bewildered that
he spent the night cropping about In
the thick bushes behind the barn,
searching for his boat.
Meantime, one of the visiting cot.
tagers. who was almost as befuddled
as Jim" was, waded out into the
water and climbed into his boat
from the further end, and then drifted
about on the lake for the rest of the
night, and until daylight brought
something of soberness.
When the company assembled In
the morning there was much Joking
at the expense of the pair. The dis

tried to turn attention from himself
to Jim" by remarking: Jim. | hear
