paused Tor wind. then got under way
! again: well, some OF the boys were
tryin' to get him to lay down on his
stummick, and he kind OF fell up
against the door and 1t came open ana
he ran out In the yard. He was tryin'
to get the blindfold on his eyes, but
he couldn't, because 1t was a towel In
| a pretty hard knot; and he went tear
in oil around the backyard, and we
didn't chase him, or anything. All we
did was just watch him-and that
when he fell in the cellar. Well, 1t
didn't hurt him any, but he was mud
der than what he would have been II
/ he'd just had sense enough to lay
down in the shack. Well, so we
thought, long as he was down in the
cellar anyway, we might as well have
the rest of the 'nishiation down there.
SO We brought the things down and
| and Insulated him-and that's oil.
That's every bit we did to MIN.
Yes" said Mr.. Williams sardonical-
"; Il see. What were the details OF

"Sir?'
Il want to know what else you did
to him? What was the initiation!
