CHAPPELL ,oithoat thinking Of storp
ne once heard about him. He ard hta
'ote s'uo IN Pelham, just to be near tho
caler. Several years ago they srers

rad tried seperal ndtio7aaHtics and
ooiors, but each uet left IN tuyn. Mra.

Pat ore under each arm and ewtna
Young Bos,oell .oas fattered to Be
Gssed 1a, to play billiards with MIR. CHAP.
PELL at chs Yale Club, not that Young
boswe1 plays billiards Nth relish or
pToohciencg, though no does place the
ooHa nicely for his opponent.
CHAPPELL--All my writer friends
say 4 am brilliant archi ect, and all
my, architect friends say am a corkinr
writer, but my real profession is play
ing billiards. l used to claim / always
pu1lt the houses TO reflect the client, and
almost all the houses I've built arc low
and rambling. ''' 'A' -0"
Young Boswell (chalking the aoyono
eng OF h's cWe)--I really don't cutie get
this game.
CHAPPELL (scoring fve more Do,nts)
II see you don't The object is to hit
ooth the red ball and the opponents
cue pall IN the same shot. IT'S a very
interesting game for writer. IL ex-
presses the eternal triangle. The two
"h!te pals are the husband and wife
ana the red ball is the villainous ele-
ment in the plot.
Young BoswelI--What's tho cue ?
The hand of Fate?
CHAPPELL - No, the pen. yon
placed the balls beautifully in that last
saoT. NOW you are going to see a lot
ot KISSING and pet ing. (CHAPPELL
9t1"oa 1,a ana made brilliant run Of one.) J
m gong up to tAe Yale Har ard game.
! IKE football, and I'ye seen it played
IN n. every corner of the globe. in the
rhllberts they used to play with a
light ball made OF fish membrane, n
was rather difficult to get through n
whole game, because everv time the
palL was punted it would be caught up
oy the trade winds and not como back
for about six months.
Young Boswell should think that
would mean u lot of time out
o.ten be postponed Unit! next summer,
The Eskimos make marvellous football
players, because they are SO covered
with oil all the time that it is ilnpos-
slbie to hold a runner. He would slip
right out Of your hands. They play
on very rudimentary sHatcs made from
the spine OF the gu2py. A guppy is q
very interesting fish that | discovered
oil by myself. 1t Is .he only fish that
lays its young without the Intermediate
egg stage. 1t lays tkem fuJl-formed, as
it were.
Young Boawell-Then there isnt any
guppy caviar?
CHArPELL--Nn, but if there we're it
would be delicious, being such deli
cate fish, but unfortunately there ISM
any,
Young Boswell-~What effect do you
think Stefansson's explorations had
on the facts in your book?
HAPPELL-Well, until the other
day believed, and l think most of the
public believes, that after ha wrote
Treasure Island" Robert Louis Ste
venson died. l guess / win. Snail we
have another little game?
Young Boswell-Thanks, prefer TO
try anything just once. You certainly
have good eye.
CHAPPELL-uh-uh. Big-game shoot
ing. is such good training for billiards
sighting at such long distances. Here!
Here! Don't try to put that cue in
your pocket!
Young Boswell--Oh. I'm sorry! got
it mixed up with my pen.
