Eat With Your Fingers

Devour your food like a lion" and

which controverts the well-known

Such an unorthodox mode Of deal

ed by doctor in a spirit of frolic, but
on talking the matter over with a Har-

practice, it was found that doctors

hands OF It's rightful custodians-
through sheer good fortune. not
through skill or Sherlock Holmes
sagaeity-and only limited space oI
time remaining for the journey to the
Rio Grande, II was only natural that
the young messengers should wish "a
hurry on their road. They did not IN

OF the more valuable contents OF the

enough, under present circumstances,
to regain their property and be on
their way.

broken-legged animal. and the boys
were almost trampled under the un.
certain feet Of the drunEs and their
guardians. AS they broke ground to
get free from the crowd, Brockett
thought a hand sought his pocket,
and, warned by the painful memory
OF recent happenings, snatched quick
ly at it, He caught nothing. Hur-
riedly thrusting his hand into his
pocket, he brought up scrap Of pa

Some people have more luck than
sense. Continue on route till further

The adventures which had their
climax in the opium joint gave Brock
EFT and Solano plenty of material for
discussion as they rolled out on a
southwestern train. This time the
messengers made no attempt to dis
guise their course, but went straight
to the station, bought their tickets
and climbed aboard Instead of pur-
chasing the red or yellow slips which
license you to toss about in the berths

to stay in the seats of the day-coach
and get what sleep they could, while
