No. 25.—Cross-word Enigma.

My first is in club, but not in mace;

My second in lineage, but not in race;

My third is in spruce, but not in larch;

My fourth is in journey, but not in march;

My fifth is in Odin, but not in Lok:

My sixth is in herd, but not in flock;

My seventh in park, but not in lawn;

My eighth is in bishop, but not in pawn;

My ninth is in gun, but not in yak;

My tenth is in russet, but not in black;

My eleventh in sack, but not in cape;

My whole was a fire-arm of ludicrous shape.
