Tlnio after time he wilggled out of

Langau grunted something, and the

foifolted the bout, after w n minutes

l'.irdello then came forvv.ud and
apologetically lemarked that his hold
was a perfectly fair one, and in Justice
to the people putting up the forfeit he
availed himself of It. "He one oT the
