ONE REEL YARNS
IN TIE CORNER


''Whew!" sneezed the Dictionary.
I'm so covered with dust 1 can't
breathe. This is a fine way to treat a
useful volume like me. I'm getting
pretty tired of it.
The Dictionary sighed and thought
wistfuIly of the bygone days of its
usefulness. 1t remembered the white
haired old gentleman with the big
glasses who had pored over 1t, study
ing out all its meanings and making
little notes in his queer, cramped hand
writing.
HE was a real scholar, all right"
the Dictionary said, dreamily. Il was
proud to have him owning me. He
wrote long, learned papers for big So
cieties. I don't know what they were
ell about, but they must have been
very fine and very deep.
And I remember other important
looking men that used to come to visit
him in his study. and they would sit
around having long, long talks. Some
times they would have arguments, and
then they would come to me@to settle
the question as to what Some one
meant when he said this or that.
II had a nice stand all to myself
then. And now that the old man is
gone forever, his family have put the
stand in the attic because It looked
queer, and here lie. showed in among
q lot of strange books. II only
Some one was coming into the room.
Footsteps sounded near. The Dfctlon-
airy held it's breath as some one
stopped over and picked it UP. The
layer of dust enveloping it was whisked
of with an apron. AT last said the
Dictionary, some one in this ignorant
family is going to notice me and once
more can take my rightful place
Here, Mile. said woman's voice,
put this dictionary on the chair 1t
will make it just the right height for
the baby"

us Pound and savslsh. eapIoa wrestler Of Uni
By FRED MEYER,

For the boy of thirteen or fourteen
years or older, wrestling is not too
strenuous an exercise il INDUCED in
sensibly. For the beginner, five min
utes on the mat at one time is suf-
f1eient.
The referees hold" which usually
starts catch-as-catcn-can wrestling
match, is illustrated on the left side
OF the picture printed with this article.
In this position neither wrestler has
the advantage. IL is merely start
ing point.
The wrestIers stand about four feet
apart with legs spread to get good
brace. Both feet are firm and nat on
the floor. One wrestler places his
right hand on the others neck. and
with his left takes hold Of his oppon-
ent's right upper arm. The other
wrestler grasps his opponents neck
with his right hand. and with his left
takes hold Of the others right upper
arm. They lean forward with heads
together.
unbaIance Your Opponent
IN this position you should try TO get
your opponent of balance 50 that he
falls to the floor. One OF the best ways
Of doing this is to encourage him TO
push hard against you. BY showing and
pushing him around yourself. being
careful, however. never to assume
any unbalanced position yourself.
Then, when he gives q hard shove
against you, instead OF resisting. pull
him toward you and then down, and
step aside quickly. He will fan for
ward on his hands and knees.
But be verys very careful that IN
pushing the other man around you do
not unbalance yourself. Never cross
your legs ard do net lean too far for
ward or to either side.
When your opponent crouches be-
fore you waiting for = chance 70 at
tack. he may try one OF the clever mat

I would have to do would be to follow
his lead implicitly.
But II some one should happen to ac-
cost him just as entered the corridor
from the woman's waiting room. how
should I act? Lillian had impressed
upon me that the meeting must have
the appearance OF being a casual one.
mustn't look around as il expecting
some one when I entered the waiting
room. / decided that II didn't at once
see Mr.. Drake. or If he were talking to
some one, I would walk TO the inform
alton desk and ask some OF the futile
Questions with which so many women
poster the unfortunates serving there.
Yet it wasn't this emergency which
terrified me so much as the fear that I
might fail to understand AR brakes
cues, II, as Lillian had warned me. he
attempted to convey to me his instruc-
lions through eausal sentences which
would have no hidden meaning for the
possible third person with him.
Il would be an unthinkable calamity
II my stupidity should endanger the
success Of Lillian's plan! I shivered at
the possibility as / looked out at the
flashing lights and the hurrying motors
on the most colorful street in the world
Fifth avenue.
Always crowded. there appeared to
be more than the usual number OF
motors on the avenue. I paid a tribute
TO the skill Of the chauffeur as he
threaded his way in and out among
the vehicles.

OF A WIFE
Who is the Man Who Recognizes
Madae as She Speeds to Her
Meeting?
sY ADELE oAR7Isou.

So potent is Lillian's personality for
encouragement of my more timorous
nature that not until my taxi had
turned the corner from the street
where she lived did begin to ponder
over the possible difficulties before me.
Lillian's precautions had extended
even to the driver of the taXicab in
which I sat. She had told me that he
was one of the lesser members Of the
organization in which she held so high
q place, and that after he had deposited
me in safety at the Long Island en-
trance to the Pennsylvania station his
instructions were to mark his cab En-
gagged" for the rest of the evening, and
be in readiness at a certain corner near
the station so that IL any unforeseen
emergency arose could get him there.
But my expected meeting with Allen
Drake in the big corridor of the Penn
sylvania station promised all sorts of
difficulties. OF course, if the man were
alone there would be no trouble He
would be on the watch for me, and all

stunts to catch you on your guard.
You, too. might try It on him. Here's
how:
Pretend that you are about TO dive
at his head. Make the dive. But in
stead Of grabbing his head. drop down
and get firm hold on his knees.
Then, acting swiftly so that he has
no opportunity to try a break, Jerk
your opponents legs forward. You
know the result. He win fall back
ward.
How to Avoid the Attack
But how can you protect yourself il
your opponent should try this feint on
you?
When you see that he is going to
dive for your knees, kick back your
legs with a movement just as quick as
his, or quicker. Get your legs out of
his reach.
He will be stopped over. Throw
yourself forward. placing your hands
on his back Put all your weight on
by the figures on the right side of our
picture. Force him TO his hands and
knees You'll be on top and have the
advantage.
When you do get your man down
use your weight to help keep him
there. II you are SO unfortunate as to
be the under man, don't lie eth on
the mat. Move around. squirrn. as
much as possible. II you lie stiH the
position and the force Of your oppon-
ent's weight viii tire you.
