A New Bean Bag Game.

There are several ways OF playing
the game Of bean bag. but perhaps the
newest is this: or course 1t requires
little preparation, but what OF that
when you have so much time? Make
twelve red and twelve blue bean bags
OF some strong material and fill them
half full of beans. Now, II your COM
pany Is large. choose two leaders and
one umpire. The leaders should
choose sides. and the ones chosen must
take their places behind the leaders,
all facing the same direction, so as to
make two rows Of players. Now place
the blue bags on a chair In front OF
the "blue" leader and the red bags In
front Of the red leader. Then each
leader lifts in his right hand one
of his bags and passes it back into the
right hand Of the first player He in
turn passes it on, each player using
only his right hand. When the twelve
bags have gone the length of the col
umns and back through the left hands
to the leader, the side bringing home
all the bags first wins the game. To
vary the game the bags can be passed
with both hands or they can be passed
over the heads.

the lips that seemed very engaging,
and the muslin dress she wore had
been accentuated In its simplicity by
the art Of the London photographer.
Pike had preserved the picture. which
had been given to him by old Jonn
Simpson the day before he died, and
he sighed as he looked at It.
Then he laid 1t face down upon the
desk and dropped his chin into MS
hand. 1t may have been an hour that
he sat there, and in that time never a
thought Of his legal business crossed
his mind. He was busy with a fanci-
full picture of an unknown city that In
spite of his desire seemed to take on
the aspects Of larger Kokomo, and in
his fancy he could see big, well knit
young fellow bending eagerly over to
look into the face Of girl. and he
heard her call him Almeric.
Must be a mighty fine man." he
mused-"a fine big man-to capture
her."
Then Perkins came in to ask II Pike

and looked with startled eyes into the
kindly blue ones that glimmered into
his own.
".A-girl! he seemed to hear the boy
say. "a little girl. Mr.. Simpsons?
In his fancy he saw the big man
nod. saw him place the pipe back In
his teeth and extend his two palms
until they were foot or so apart.
"A girl. Dam" he heard. "'bout 81

On the veranda sat the big man with
the heavy features and the corncob
pipe, and he heard the voice again bid
ding him come up. And then there
was call to some one within, and
woman emerged with a white bundle
in her arms.
"Show her to Dan," he heard the
mans voice say, and then, when the
woman had removed bit Of the fan-
mel covering from the little face and
he had looked upon 1t, startled, abashed
and marvelously choking as to the
throat, the big voice went on again:
"She's going to be Ethel, Dan, that

with the stern features and the kindly
gray eyes that always seemed perpet-
ual rebuke to the face In which they
were set ruminated over the letter he
held in his hand. His back was to the
dOor-a half glass door which was also
the main and only entrance to the
room and which bore upon its trans
lucent surface in ragged letters, worn
by the polishing the glass had under
gone, the words, Daniel voorhees,
Pike, Attorney at Law"
Pike himself had a queer twist Of
feature, sort Of whimsicality that
pervaded the very atmosphere about
him, and the smile with which he re.
garded the letter he held had world
of reminiscence and sadness in 1t.
AS he gazed at 1t the letter seemed
to fade into nothingness, and in Its
place there rose the picture Of day
years before, day that caused the
dingy walls Of the Office to become
tenuous and gauZy, and through the
gauze he seemed to see another Office
a ramshackle sort Of place, with tin
sign showing through the window
which Informed the passerby that real
estate was the commodity dispensed
within. To Pike the picture grew yet
more distinct, and In the broken bot
tom cane chair he saw the figure Of a
heavy faced man In his shirt sleeves
engaged I'm smoking cOrncOb pipe.
In another corner Of the room he
.could see a red headed boy poring over

round hand some title deeds Then,
through the reaches Of the past, he
seemed to hear the heavy faced man

heard him speak.
