to be hanging by a thread, walking
ilong leisurely and alone. His
step was unsteady and his face
haggard like that of a corpse. He
was makipg. a beeline for the. Kn
nel, intd whib he strolled uind tok
seat. The companions of his
>1d carousals were seated arohnd,
and they thought for awhile thAt
they had spirits to face as well as
%wallow ; that Jack had come back
to 'em from the dead. But when
Ate ghost put its elbow on the
wounter and it8 hands in its pock
1t, and told the barkeeper to 'set
em up for the crowd,' and supple
mented the order with the old in
Aerrogatory, 'Gentlemen, wat'll
you have?' it was too.vmuch life to
be misconstrued, so they crowded
tround him and shook his hand.k
