That Boy of Gallagher's.

The circumstances were as follows: Mr.
Gallagher had to take train that left at SLY
o'clock so he arose about daylight to breakfast
and thought he had better put on some thick
boots instead of the light shoes he wore IN the
evening. Now, it seems that Gallagher's son
had worn the old mans boots while roller
skating, and had left skates on the boots and
IN the darkness Gallagher did not notice this
fact as he pulled the boots on, though he
thought they felt heavy. He then CROPPED his
way 10 the head OF the stairs, the skates max
ing no trouble on the carpet. Then he started
down stairs. He got there dreadfully sudden
He was terribly annoyed as he picked himself
up, and said very wicked things as he started
for the dining room. Breakfast was laid, but
only dim light was burning. Immediately
he set foot on the polished floor his feet flew
