A Cricket Item
The squire was at the wicket, and was having, as they say, a "soaring time." He "skied" thorn and flicked them right into the fieldersj-^hands; but, strange to say, tho most simple catches were missed, and , the runs piled steadily up. His score now etood at 45.
Just then Briggs, the town-crier, was put on to bowl, off came tho ■squire's bails with the first ball. "How's that?" bawled Brigga._ "Not out!" shouted the umpire. "No fcall?"
Briggs protested. "Shut up, you fool!" hissed the captain in the town-crier's ear. "Don't know, if he gets fifty he's going to stand us bread-and-cfieese andi stout."
