Jack as the two conspirators eame
to the wall surrounding the grounds;
"then I'll climb up your shoulder to
the top, and when I'm up I'll be able
to give you a hand."
Tom accordingly bent down, and
Jack, with a little difficulty, man-
aged to gain the top of the wall,
where,instead of assisting his friend,
he disappeared on the other 6ide
and as he was making off shouted:
"Well, I think, Jack, you'll be

An Exciting Pursuit.
Onoe at an international photo-
graphic congress the question was
raised which was the most exciting
pursuit in connection with the cam-
era. One member fcverrcd, "Photo-
graphing wild beasts in Africa."
Another gave it as his opinion that
photographing the treacherous sum-
mits of the Alps and Himalayas was
the most nerve racking; another
mentioned submarine photography.
When they had all finished, a pale,
wild eyed man got up and said:
