Treacherous Trouser Leg
Reveals Bartett's Knee,
5000 Gazers Roar in G1ee

OF Joe Sinnott. He whispered In the
ear of Bartlett, who, by this time, sus-
pected that something was wrong with
him.
Sinnott made gestures indicating Bart
let's knee.
No bigger sensation could have been
creat ted by the knee OF apollo or the I'M
yelling o. a statue to the leg of AdOnis.
Verify, he thundeTs OF laughter that
broke Ou- might have expressed the JOY
of the multitude that a verisimilttude
OF the leg OF Jove himself had been
unveiled before their strainIny eyes,
Bartlett gTasped wildly at his knee.
His left trousers legs, while he sat
waiting in a nervous f1dget for his num-
Der to be called, had wormed its way
above his knee. There he stood. the up-
lifted trousers leg displaying a rea ch
of sock, a dainty garter. and a shock
ing eXpanse OF snowy white above the
sock.
Then. while the bushes went like an
automobile race up and down the face
OF Bartlett. he made frantic jerks and
pullings and Clawings a that trousers
leg. Finally he got it down.
But his bushes and the laughter of
the people lasted some minutes longer.
