Friends warned him to back out of the contest, They said the keenes# minds on earth would be arrayed against his, and that he would be pelted with at least fifteen hundred scholarly “test questions.” ‘ “Fifteen hundred?” retorted Crichton, gayly. “If the day is long enousti) I'll gladly answer two thousand.

Some of the throng said he had been joking as to his ability. Others thought he had been scared at the last minute by the thought of the ordeal which awaited him, and that he had fled. Just as the scholars and judges were about to depart from the plat form the missing man strolled into the hall. Bowing to the chief judge, said: “{ crave parion for my lateness.' On my way here I was attacked by one of your city’s most redoubtable swordsmen. As he was so well skilled with the sword, I had to waste some little time in killing him.

(The New York Evening World) The “ Day of Rest” in the Country HIE Bronxleys had come out to spend Surtday with the New- comers at their Paradise Villa known to “Doc” and the bunch as “The Mint Patch.” Mrs. Bronxley was enraptured with the place and the country generally. 've bean telling Bronxley,” she said, “it is so beautiful and so quiet and so restful.” The restful suggestion appealed to Bronxley. He allowed it ought to be @ great place for sleeping, especially on @ warm Sunday, and looked as if he would like to drop off into @ nap. Just as he stretched out in a big, comfortable chair Newcomer came in with a tray of mint juleps, explaining that they were double cylinders, that is, each with two kicks. Mrs, Bronxley looked over the house with approval and Bronzley under the soothing influence of the double cylinder julep, was fallling into @ light doze when Newcomer insisted upon showing him the garden. “By hick!" exclaimed Newcomer, who was rapidly picking up the ver- nacular of the commuter, “those cab- bages need hoeing; you don’t mind if I take a few minutes and hill ‘em up.” “Go ahead,” replied Bronaley, yawning; “I'll help you.” So Newcomer, rapidly learning the ways of commuters, got out an extra hoe and set Bronxley to work, “I'd better give that corn a once over, too,” said Newcomer, when the cabbages had been hoed.” Bronxley, “bowed by the weight of centuries, leaned upon his hoe and gazed upon the ground” and allowed he would rather pull weeds, Newcomer, after finishing a row of the cori disappeared to return soon with two more double cylinder con- coctions and while they were sipping them Bronxley pointed proudly to the pile of weeds he had pulled. “I pulled up all those big fellows at the back of the garden,” he sald. Newcomer took an extra deep draught of his julep, He did not have the heart to tell his tyiend that those big weeds if let alone would later have borne those beautiful flowers known a8 cosmos, “Never mind pulling any more weeds,” said Newcomer, “we'll finish the corn and then take @ rest, Bronxtey picked out a place under had time,” replied Newcomer. The air wassoft and warm; the bees were droning to and ‘from the flowers, and Bronxley fell into a peace- ful slumber, dreaming that he was in @ cabbage patch filled with weeds: nearly as tall as himself. He awoke with a start to hear Newcomer say enthusiastically: : “I want to show you my new lawns mower; it's a dandy; got an extra blade; you can cut grass with it as easily as you can get @ drink in 5 Prohibition town.” By taking turns at the lawnmower,’ sustained and cheered by two more tall green ones, Newcomer's lauwa soon had a close shave, a facial mas- sage and jooked as clean as if it had been gone over with a vacuum cleaner. ' “We're going to take a ride after dinner,” said Newcomer, “and I've got to tighten up a few bolts on the olf Lizzie," which was love's labor lost, for right after dinner, when Bronxley had settled himself in the big chair and closed his eyes, “Doc's” big ma« chine was purring outside and they, all went down to the Country Club, where “Doc” demonstrated his theo- ries concerning a certain brand of “Scotch” until the steward warned they were running out of ice, } On the way back they dropped in? at Mawrugs Pleasantman's to view his wonderful rose garden and vine- yard and then down into his wine cellar, where the grapes of joy are’ stored against the wrath to come, Newcomer and Mawruss got into an argument about a particular vintage and it was necessary to sample ail the vintages to decide who was right, Back at the “Mint Patch,” New- comer, always solicitous for the en- jJoyment of his guests, asked Bronmx- ley: “How would you ke a game of tennis?” “The only kind of a game that would appéal to me," replied Bronx- ley, “would be one that could be played with hammocks,” ‘That night on the way back to the’ city Bronxley pre-empted an extra seat in the car to store his huge bun-” dies of flowers and vegetables and @nother one that may have contained some kind of a vintage, Mrs, Bronx- le: marked : ‘We certainly will have to be com- @ tree to rest and stretched himself upon the grass. “Gee!” he exclaimed, “this is fine.” 5 np 06S & OZ. b muters! oi the country simply lovely at time of the year?’ » ure thing,” said Bronxley, as is eves began to clooy; “Aho. qu Avant,
