somewhat bizarre variation Of the nat

at restaurants at some smart evening
affair is also suitable for tNngoing.

one Of the best ball twirlers in the

came ~ the conclusion that they had

1t was no easy to find one who was

Two men. jacks most intimate friends,

He concealed his weakness as we'll rs
he could, but it was unfortunate that
he did 80. 1t would have been better
for him to retire. When a match game
OF great Importance was being played

nond. Doubtless the blood Of one of
the ome with which his arteries
were filled was. at the moment being
sent through his system, for be became
p~aralyzed with fear. Running to the
grand stand, he stood upon one Of the
plank seats and could not be induced
t. come down.
But few Of those present knew the
cause Of Runlet's cowardice, though
none. could understand why a man
should be afraid Of u mouse. At any
rate, the game was broken up. for Run
let. covered by shame, left the field.
The heXt time Il game Of importance
came OF kunlet took his place among
the spectators instead OF in the box.

cnce OF the blood he had received from
