    (continued from previous page)
    the boy that is after has to go around with his hands out - stretched to catch someone. Whoever he catches is after again. The (sedond) second has to have the handkerchief tied around his eyes also and repeat what the first lad did. The game continues until all the boys have done the same thing. Then they can continue with the same method.
