Show Goodall is a professional skater in Cincinnati. He teaches young women in a roller-skating rink, and, being vain of his good looks, talks sentimentally to some of them. It happened that Workum and Ezekiel decided on the same day to thrash him for making love to their sweethearts. Workum met him first, and blackened his eye without difficulty, as he made no resistance. He was to have a benefit performance that evening, and, carefully sponging and powdering his eye, he started for the ??.

He drew a pistol, and Ezekiel, after brandishing a knife, lost courage and fled.-N. Y. Sun. |
