"What did Blair say?"

Jack could contain himself no longer.
"That's the best yet, the very best

thing that came to his hand, which
happened to be his own Euclid, and
flinging it with a bang into the cor-
ner of the ceiling. He than sprang to
his feet, kicked up the front legs of the
chair upon which Frank was still play-

gentleman unexpectedly backwards,
then fell to a furious wrestling with
Toes, which ended with hem both
falling in a confusion of laughing,

It was indeed time Mrs Burton came
