Pipe Dreamer Chased By Pink Elephants, Takes Refuge

With a naughty glance at the pocl slave who dealt out the tickets the Pipe Dreamer threw down his money at the box office of the O-paeum and scornfuly handing the sl D of paste board to the humble dor rpeeker pass ed into the theater and seated him self majest'cally VII toward the rear If the house.

hardly taken teir respective chairs and bs gun gar ng at eaca other when the Pipe Dreamer hard the tinkle of a thy gong, and the fight was on.
 Viciously and furiousiy the two h'es fought on the head of the an- conscious man. Round followed round. and the shining pate of the man in front was soon covered with the blood and gore of the battlers.
 Eagerly the Pipe Dreamer fcEowed the conflict. Until the twenty-second round the battle was comparatively even, but in that fatal round the fly with the green trunks caught his opponent a vicious blow under the chin and the fight was over. Slowly the referee counted the fallen man out, mad when the result was known a mighty cher went up from tn as- smbled flies.
 Just as his seconds were carrying the victorious batter out of the ring on their shoulders a rude hand grasped the shoulder of the P.pe Dreamer ana a gruff vo'ce growisd in his ear:
