Suddenly his fist shot out and landed
between the bartender's eyes. The hat
of the man next to him went sailing
over the swinging door. He let out one
ear-splitting yell as his eyes grew wild
and his chin hit the bar. He doubled UP
like a jack-knife and rolled over.
They gave him the air He needed il.
He staggered over the line into Ham
mond. taking a haul on a bottle. The
drink had a magic effect but not the
same as the previous one. for they never
act alike. This one made him walk four
blocks in three minutes. His heart was
pounding madly and his brain like an
alarm clock. You could almost see the
whiskers grow and his hair stood
straight UP. He held onto his hat and
took another drink.
He began TO sing like a wild Hawk
after another drag from the bottle. He
knew he was lost If he stopped drink
ing The thing to do is to never quit
His leg was broken but he didn't know
it; at least it appeared to be broken
from the way he walked. After each
nip at the bottle a flame would shoot
out of his nostrils, it is said.
Well. anyway. the police force was
called out and made the capture His

There was quite little discussion at
the station about the matter. He was

Some material alterations are to

Practically everyone in the state

It has kept good men from seek

That the women and girls in this re-
