OF Asia Minor Roman historian
tells that when the city was besieged
there were great buildings put up to
be pushed toward the walls so that
the attackers might advance uninjur-

capable people, and they chopped
holes in the tips OF the buildings and
cast down on the heads of the advanc-

Bill, deciding that the poker was to
be played with like stick, caught the
heated end in his mouth. Instantly
his lips scared and turned black. Bill
only shook the poker harder. Two

him to open his mouth. But Bill
fought back and finally they had to
choke him before he would loosen his
