having been drawn just tight enough
to make q red mark on the flesh.

The police were notified and took
him to the station. There he said he

and as he could not get any work at
his trade of electrician, he wanted to

the one In which Kanatsher attempted
suicide.
The young woman says: Il think one

for II they let him go he will surely
make way with himself.

part of my plan," and that is all he would
say.
His father simply smiled, secretly he was
pleased because he thought Hal was trihe
that his son might fight. However, he could
talk that over later and convince Hal that
he ought not to fight.
On a second visit to Dr. Littleton. Hal
learned that one of the best of exercises was
that OF swimming, SO from that day he spent
half an hour daily in the smooth, warm wa

Meantime the other boys of the town hard
ly noticed that Hal was getting stronger, and
in the autumn, when Hal came home, his
father and mother were surprised at the
health and strength which shone from their
delicate son.
1t was wild and stormy day on which
Hal reached home, and for a~few hours he
sat with his father and mother telling them
how he had built himself up
"Well,' said his father, cts the most won

Hal and Clarence met at school and various

"What purpose?" asked the doctor laugh
ingly. "Do you wish to become an acrobat?'
NO." said Hal thoughtfully, as he won
dered whether he had better tell everything,

how to go about getting into condition

Hal started in at once in his stubborn"
fashion, and week later he had gym

trapeze, parallel bars, swinging rope,

bells and Indian clubs.
When all these things Were finished, the
