hospitals when he spled a little fellow
with his legs In the air and his weight
resting on his head and shoulders. Go
ing closer, he saw that the boys feet
were fastened with ropes which passed
through a pulley above. At the other
ends Of the ropes were weights, just
heavy enough to hold the boys legs In
the air without lifting him entirely Oh

visitor. Doesn't it hurt him?"
