Had Bowles struck me where I struck him I should have been past the help of a surgeon." "Oh!" groaned Jessie, shuddering, and covering her face with both hands.

No more routine for Jimmy Bowles, who was king of them all. I shudder to think how much of my knowledge of life I owe to this Jimmy, whose stories would have filled a quarto volume, but could on no account have been published; for a self-respecting post-office would not have allowed them to pass through the mails.
