strong pull, and were naturally ali
right even in an era of reform.
Contemplating this spectacle, had a
few thoughts. That's one Of the queer
things about me: I'm liable to think at
almost any moment, whereas some PEG
pie can be depended upon not to in.
dulge in that dangerous practice often.
er than once q week. l thought that
the trouble scene before me was much
like life. It's peculiar that almost every.
thing in nature that is tough has been
compared to life, by persons of poetic
temperament. To person not SO en-
dOwed, Broadway would have looked a
good deal more like death. But 1 COM
pared it to this vale of tears, partly be-
cause of the perils by which it was in
tested, and partly because wise man
would certainly wish to get across as
soon as possible.
l extended my hand to Maude, and
she took it confidingly. Then she
stepped of, at my direction, upon what
1 considered to be firm spot, and n
proved to be the softest and tffs coolest
and the wettest lump of snow between
the Battery and Harlem. She cried
''Oh!" in loud italic tone, and leaped
back to the sidewalk. AS still held
her hand, her sudden retreat exerted
pressure upon me which swung me
around, and brought my foot exactly
into the wet spot where she had stepped.
My opinion of it as place for quiet
meditation was as favorable as hers had
been. l also yelled, and jumped back
to the sidewalk.
my right foot is just as wet as it can
be-" said Maude. You might have
known that we couldn't get across
there. You picked out the worst place
there is. It's much dryer up this way"
Now my opinion was that the proper
place to cross was little ways below
us. We disagreed radically on this mat
ter. Maude insisted that it was dryer
further up. Now I am willing to bet
that if each of us had tried his own way
we should have gone across compare
lively dry. But of course / was not so
ungallant as to suggest such thing. !
