some time at the lake, they would give the girls
J the slip and come to the carriage upon which he
must put whip to his horses and streak it to town,
leaving the girls behind. The latter somehow or
another smet the rat, (probably they had been
served so before, for it is old trick) but kept
mum. They all had hearty supper and grand
frolc together but before the Youngsters thought
it time to play their trick, the females under some
false pretence, gave them the Slip and ran to the
| carriage. "Quick!n said one, 1--WE know what
those fellows intend Take US into town. and we'll
| pay you three dollars more than they have
promised youl" "Good!' said the driver, and
