smothered even the bowling of hawk
ers and toy cannon. One was little, the
other Johnsonesque In size. Who won
will perhaps never be Known. Who,
got in the last lick will also emain a
mystery, but both chimed in with the
last word, neither Of which was pretty
or exactly printable.
The battle was not for base coin or

belt was the attentions of a rather
sorry looking specimen of another sex.
When the fray was at it's height he
