SHE SHOOED IT AWAY.
They were party of four couples coming
over on the steamboat Saucelito last Sunday,
and the prettiest girl of the gushers looked

"Well, you see, I was up there with pri.

self about mile picking flowers. After a
while sat down to rest in lonely canyon,
and before long l heard queer rustling sound
in some bushes right behind me. l knew at

order to entertain Scotch friend who had

looked down the avenue to see if he could
get sight of his friend, when, 10! there
come SANDY" much as if he had hundred
pounds or 80 upon bis shoulders-in fact, be
