Milligan never w3uld forget reckless
ride that me and him and little Bunk
Weatherford and Blew Scroggins took

in that day and hooked up two horses to
double buggy and went to town. The
weather hit was scandlous cold and
naturally of course there was more or
less of white ink" and ''sperits-of-
cats-a-fghtin'' foatin through the
crowd, and whom we started out on our
return back homo that night we had all
tanked up to a general average of about
six bits in the dollar.
Blev Scroggins was the driver, and
whilst he has got cart loads of sense for
common, under the general circumfer-
enco OF Christmas calamity like that
he is the gonebyest, blamdest biggest

turned the horses loose and hero they
went, up hill and down hill, in dead
run. We belt on for life, but he split
US out one by one, and when the horses
got home they want hitched to nothin
in particlar and had shed off all the
harness but the names and traces. Peo-
pie passin along the road that night
could find buggy wheels and swinglc-
trees and old harness and men and a

So far so bad. And in three months
reckon that terrible Christmas ride had
passed out of sight and out of mind
with everybody but John Andrew Mill

never could diSremember it.
In the next followin fall after that

we know. ''There was seven of US
when we got on the cars and we amt
but six now" Then he counted noses
and John Andrew come up missin.
That was in the old times when the
railroad trains didn't have to fly like
they do now, and we got the conductor
to run back slow till we could find that
which was lost. When we got to John
Andrew he was laying crossways of the
track with his face all bunged up and
bleedn.
"Are you hurt, John Andrew" says
Blew Scroggins.

John Andrew, "but by gollys, Blew, you
drive too durn reckless"
And 1T was the next mornin after we
got home before we could make Job
Andrew believe anything but that he
had been riding in double buggy with
Blew Scroggins for driver.
