A Running Broad Jump. "One day," related Denny to his friend Jerry, "when Oi had wandered too far inland on me shore leave Oi suddenly found thot there was a great big haythen, tin feet tall, chasin' me wid a knife as long as yer ar-rm. Oi took to me heels an' for 50 miles along the road we had it nip an' tuck. Thin Oi turned into the woods an' we run for one hundred an' twinty miles more, Wid him gainin' on me steadily, owin' to his knowledge of the counthry. Finally, just as Oi could feel his hot breath burnin' on the back of me neck, we came to a big lake. Wid one great leap Oi landed safe on the opposite shore, leavin' me pursuer confounded and impotent wid rage." "Faith an' thot was no great jump," commented Jerry, "considerin' the runnin' start ye had." Everybody's Magazine.
