of the Others
The Baltimore lawyer rose from his
seat and squared his shoulders.
Gentlemen he said. with great dig
nifty. ''if All were to do that Aid be a
yaller poodle. But Ah'm not going to do
any sech a thing. Ah'm not built that
way. Bring fo'th yo' pieces of NAH late
lamented hat. Ah'm waitin' to eat the
same!'
There was nothing else to be done. One
of them pulled out and laid on top of the
oyster that the lawyer had been fixing
to eat when the suggestion of forgiveness
was made to him, what looked like one
Of the small pieces of black felt. In real
ity however II was q small. thinly sliced
piece OF medical charcoal. of a kind with
a number Of such pieces that had been
prepared for the occasion. The lawyer
swallowed the oyster and what he con-
sidered to be q piece of his hat at a
gulp. while they all gazed at him commits
eratingly and asked him how it went.
''Fine. suhs!' the lawyer gamely came
right back at them. and he fixed another
Of the oysters with tabasco. lemon juice
and horse-radish.
"Try a little piece of this. old man."
said one OF his friends. and he placed on
top Of the oyster what appeared to be
a piece of the yellow sweatband of the
sombrero. In reality however. it was a
fragment of slightly softened yellow
gelatine. The lawyer downed the mess.

alternating with pieces of the imitation
felt and the imitation swaziland. The
lawyer stuck it out like soldier and
gentleman without batting an eye He
left for his office Immediately after the
luncheon, and at frequent intervals
throughout the afternoon his cronies
dropped in to solemnly look him over and
to ask him il he felt any pains In the
region of the right groin, thus limiting at
sudden appendicitis.
1t wasn't until they all met at the law
yers house that night to play their
weekly game of poker that they told him
that he really didn't have any back felt
or yellow sweatband in his system. They
had difficult time, at that, to induce him
to subscribe to their plan of calling the
thing of, the lawyer insisting that it was
point of honuh' with him. and that II
was up to him to consume the entire hat
But they told him that all of the pieces
had been thrown away, and that since
he had only undertaken to eat that par
ticular hat. why they had saved him from
himself. And when they were leaving his
house the undaunted old Bourbon stood
on his porch. gave the rebel yell'' and
then shouted after them:

remarked another.
"Gorman'll never let another political
cheep out OF him as long as he lives"
was the comment OF sull another OF the
group.
The Baltimore lawyer, fiery man verg-
ing upon middle age. became more purplish
every minute. The last one of the group
had hardly finished speaking before the
Gormanite snatched OF his hat, a huge.
wide brimmed black sombrero, and held
1t out at arms length.
Gentlemen" he said, hoarsely. with
smothered heat, 'yo' all see this heah
hat?"
They all saw it. of course. and nodded.
'Ve'y WE'LL snorted the German man.
