WHY HE WENT.
Jones was going in to bat, and his bosom pal, Bill Peggem, was bowling for the other team. '.'I say, Bill," he whispered, "give me an easy one. I've wagered h'alf-a-sovereign that I hit a boundary." Bill is a true friend of the sort you don't meet every day, and he sent him a soft one on the leg side. Jones, with a mighty hit, sent the ball to the ropes. Then he started to go 1 out. "Where are you going?" said Bill* "You're not out?" "No," answered the beaming batsman. "I'm going to find the chap I made the bet with."
