Table Tennis Legend Table tennis originated about 1880. According to ^>ne legend it was invented by a group of British army offlcei^ stationed in India. Fretting because the rainy weather kept them from enjoying their regular tennis, these officers--so the story goes--piled some books across the center of a large table, fashioned some balls out of cotton batting and proceeded to adapt their favorite pastime to table-top conditions. The name table tennis became more or leu official in 1926 with the organisation of the International Table Tennis federation.

When he tried to speak, bis lips were dry and his tongue moved nervously over them. "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Tompkins, what was that you said?" "I said if you haven't a delivery boy I'll wait for the three o'clock bus, - but„ I'm anxious to back as soon as I can." He looked again at Dr. Price's cramped handwriting.

Though it was so many years ago, he could feel the flush of anger that flooded his face remembering the day he'd called Dr. Price up, and suggested that maybe the heart medicine he ordered for Mr. Venables too strong. "I know what I'm doing. Just mind your own business, Diggles, and I can mind mine." He looked again at the prescription. There was no mistaking the symbol and he'd fill it as it stood. He reached for the bottle and removed the cork. Carefully, he measured out the prescribed dose. MR. DIGGLES straightened suddenly, staring at the partly filled mortar.

"I was just trying to call you about it Dr. Price. I felt there was some little inaccuracy." Dr. Price nodded. "Something told me. But I wasn't really worried.
