for a spin down the road. He realized
at glance that Mary was in SOM
nambulistic state, and after awakening
his wife, went out to watch develop
mems.
The farmer ran down the road for
some distance and met his daughter on
her return trip. Her eyes were open,
but they had wild and glaring express
sion, ard there was no mistaking the
fact that she was totally unconscious
as she spun by her father at good
speed. While Farmer Smiley was de-
batting In his mhLd what course to pur-
sue, the girl returned ard passed him a
second time. On previous occasion he
had awakened his daughter by dashing
cold water In her face, and he FASTENED
to the house and procured a cupful,
but he hesitated about using 1t while
the girl was on her wheel.
Finally Mary approached the house
and dfsmounted. and just as she wat
entering the gate Farmer Smiley threw
the contents of the cup in her face.
There was wild shrek, the sleeping
cyclist awoke and fell to the ground.
In few moments, however, all was
explained, and Mary retired, uninjured,
to more restful slumber.
