"Well, Tom, where have you been
all night." wo asked, aa he set
tled down to take his usual morning
nap.
Been out with the bunch." he re
plied, with an attempt to evade the
question. "Talk about luck. What

I turned over my star. Got tired of

"How is that?" we asked.
"You see, crawfish parties have
become fashionable so I concluded
to get in the game. Now you know
that there is nothing more tempting

than a largo juicy crawnsn cov,

think, they sent a special messen

the entire cheese to him and the ban

Fritz found out he had been stung
there was something doing among the

again. Mc used to be something of a

It up for other pursuits."
"Who put you next?" we asker.
"The bunch tipped it off last night.
Wednesday morning I went out to
the race track to see Percival' work

"Give it up; you can search me.
