" Well, what of it ? Can't a boy cany a tug?" " But he's swinging it round his head!" ■* Let him swing. You never saw a boy who wouldn't." " I'll bet he breaks it before he gets lo the corner I" exclaimed the colonel. " Nonsense 1" " Bet you five pounds." " Done." Half-a-dozen rushed up to watch further proceedings. The boy continued to swing the jug, apparently bent upon performing some particular {eat, and just before he •eached the corner his hand slipped, and the jug was dashed in pieces. "I knew it 1 I knew itl" chuckled the colonel, as he danced around. " JVal him—here's your money!" growled vat other. An hour later, after spending the interval la soleml thought, the loser mildly inquired: "Colonel, did you think you had a sure thing on me?" "Certainly.
