Then l arose like the dawn on the
battlefield of Waterloo and prepared
to scintillate. BY some queer freak
of unstableness, / lost control of my
pedal extremities, my feet slipped out
from under me and l came down with
a jar that broke the crystal in my
watch.

And l was, too! One of my feet
got to going north and the other in
sisted on fleeing in an opposite direc-
ton. For a moment 1 thought l was
going to split like pine stick, but |
managed to fall down again and save

For the joyous space of a second 1

of my hat. 1t was new hat, too!
Darn these skates" said l, explain

"All right" said I, starting all over
again. I'll get the hang of them in

1t was less time than that. made
wide sweeping surge to. one side,
hit soft place in the ice, fell for six
minutes, broke my eyeglasses, lost
my loose change, upset my fountain
pen, cut hole in my left shoe and
quit! That is, 1 quit skating-Tm fall

for the family hereafter. That keeps
