SPARKS AND srARKiSo.
Al s o'clock r. NJ. the cars were along
side the grounds. and the excursionists
piled on board. homeward bound. All ex-
perienced \ pang Of regret at leaving
Farmer TreadwAy's beautiful and Hospital
BILE home. and hoped to he there again
some day. Carson was safely got away
from. and the train rolled on merrily. this
time In two sections. on account OF the
heavy up grade after leaving Carson
river. And 10 was on that heavy up
grade that such lively firing mp had 10 be-
done, causing showers Of sparks 10 descend
upon those who rode In the open excur-
sion cars. Down xhowered the sparks. red
hot. burning holes In the ladies dresses.
and keeping all on the look out.
But there was other sparkling going ON
winch especially took the eye OF the NEWS
reporter; good, cosy, warm sparkling. win
human nature thrown into u red.hof.
Cousin Jack sat ON the middle seat Of the
car, with Cousin Jenny Rugged close 10 his
aide, leaking into each others EYES, talking
unalloyed. unresisting love into each 9th.
or. ears, and both totally oblivious OF
everybody else on board. Such gentle.
vet vigorous waist and hsnd-slueezing and
such thoroughly loving glanccs. Who
could help fondly Watching and syinpa-
thizing with them. Then there Was AN
other young couple near by hugging .
loving. and doubtless planning future bliss
with each other. while opposite sat still
another pair ~ spooneys. This young
Miss seemed q little offisli, while the youth
meant business and was leaned forward
talking very earnestly To her. unmindfui
that the whole top Of his hat was on IRE
from a spark. The reporter watched that
dark red streak Of the gradually enlareing
circle in that black felt hat, and wondered
IL Il would burn entirely down 10 his ears
before he would discover u. But directly
somebody smelt fire, the youth began to
look around agitatedly and the reporter
sprang forward And politely rescued the
hat. Still another couple sat directly In
front. and the young lady Was IN constant
paroxysms of fear from tho descending
sparks. She was not afraid Of the spark
by her side. however, although he found
her pretty hard TO hold occasionally having
10 use both arms vigorously sometimes.
Al the forward end Of the car some OF the
married couples were also sparkling and
charging around among each other at
great rate. and In fact there seemed To be
more sparkling going on In that car than
in ell the rest Of the train.
KISSING IN rnE TUNNEL.
II il we'll understood that when the
train passes through the dark tunnel on
such occasions everybody that has any
thing worth kissing improves the oppor-
tunity /; 70 the Nrws reporter prepared for
further items. lie got his cigar ready To.
light. with six parlor matche. In his ing.
ers ready TO rub. and just as the train got
fully into the dark part Of the tunnel he
struck . quick and brilliant flash OF light
with those matches, having his eye In the
direction of Cousin Jack. All yes; there
they were. eagerly hugging and kissing,
with months glued closely together; but
they were not the only ones. II the eyes OF
that reporter didn't fool him. and he don't
think they did. Well. we'll, what OF II;
human nature, that s all
HoAE AGAIN.
The trains arrived safely home to Gold
Hill and Virginia, at 7:3o O'Clock In the
evening. and all were safely landed. A
more complete success than was this eS.
cursion and picnic could not have been
asked for. Owing 10 the excellent prepare
tons and arrangements of the railroad
people, no accident Of even tho most
triting character occurred. There was
no drunkenness or disorderly conduct, and
not q disagreeablc incident 10 mar the
pleasures Of the occasion. The Pioneers
may we'll congratulate themselves upon
their success.
