"walk," be said scornfully. 'This
is America, not ireland. They's trains to
Chicago every few minutes, an you can
jest git on ter one Of EN- when you've seen
all the falls you want, and go on"
So at Suspension Bridge the two chil-
dren got of. and the conductor, being very |
busy, did not miss his little charge until
his train was far into Canada.
She, however. was enjoying horself huge

The view from the bridge would have

on having so oents from each before he

very hard and nodded his head.
The result was that when, half an hour

tourists into the park, nobody suspected
that the demure little fellow on the box

There are few things conneeted with
the American Falls that these two children
did not see; for they crossed every bridge.
climbed every rock and descended every
staircase which their sharp eyes discov-

They spent long time looking st the
