A few{young men nf eaid avenue came to
help to load her. • They blindfoldetl her and

ready Archy gave the word " let her out."
Instead of going on the sleigh, she toOk a
" fling " around tne stack, the boys hanging
on the ropes. In the eeoond round Jantes
fell and Arohy fell over him. In the fifth
round, Dan fell and John jumped over him
and fell down, leaving Tommey 0 alone on
