exist straitened circumstances, even
actual poverty, which yet created no

Opposite the canvas-covered grand
stand sat twelve small mushroom
tents, each with a staff and tiny flag.
Midway lines of fiaxen ropes stretched
between rows of slender peeled sap
lings from whose tops tloated fanged
streamers of vivid bunting. A pavilion

A file OF negroes was approaching
the tents, each leading horse whose
saddle and bride were decorated with
fringes of various hues. In the center
of the roped lists, directly in front of
the stand, others were planting up
right in the ground a tall pole from
whose top projected horizontal arm
like slender gallows. From this was
suspended cord at whose end swung
a tiny object that whirled and gilt
tered in the sun.
The judge explained. "On the end
of the cord is silver ring, at which
the knights tilt with lances. Twelve
rings are used. The pike-points are
made to fit them. and the knight who
carries off the greatest number of the
twelve is the victor The whole thing

The doctor nodded. This place

I'D hardly limit it to that" said
the major, chortling at the easy thrust.

their use"
