on the leg just above her right knee
and was thrown by the blow against

that she tainted, but restoratives
promptly administered brought her to
within a few minutes. Fortunately no
bones were broken.
Another chorus gin-which one of
them the girls themselves decline to
reveal-was responsible for the acct
dent. Several Of the girls were alter
nately petting and teasing the horse,
which has been made pet by the
young women of the chorus, when one
of them jabbed him with hat pin. 1t
was a little prick, but effective, and
Jim in angry surprise, dashed out

was turned to the animal and his tor
