Speaking of things tasting good" said
this nice old gentleman as he surveyed his
bird critically and glanced around at the
other five nice old gentlemen who always
lunohed at the same table, at the same
club at the same time every day In the
week; speaking of things tasting good,
wonder if any of you fellows ever toiled
along hot, dusty country road, with
your brother, about three miles home from
school, aleng in the neighborhood of half
past o'clock, on the afternoon Of sultry
summer day, kicking up the dust with
your little bare feet and feeling hot and
uncomfortable and forlorn.
"And If any Of you ever did wonder if
you ever went about half Of a-.nile out Of
your way to go round by A Sit Susan's
and Uncle Ezras Rover would come out
and sniff at you and wag his tail, go back
satisfied and lie down under the trees, and
you'd go round by the shady side door
step. Aunt Susan was always certain to
be standing in the door, and she'd say:
Land sakes, boysl Bless me, If you don't
look bot and tired enough! / know what
you want
"And she'd go right down into the cool
cellar and come back with two blue bowls
full of nice cold milk, right out of the pan
that was on the cellar bottom, and then
she'd bring out lot of slices of her salt
rising bread, and youd 60 and sit down

apple tree and let your little tired, stone
bruised feet play with the water in the

why the Elopement Failed.

The old man was thoughtful.
"You say Maria has run away?" he said.
"She's eloped with Bill Jones and
they've started for town.
"Hossesp'' inquired the old man.
'No; bicycles, replied his wife.
"One or two?''
ssTwo-one for EACH
"That settles it, said the old man.
"We can catch them before they get to the
parson's.''
"They're both good riders,'' suggested
his wife,
"Thats So" admitted the old man,
land they could beat either one Of us
alone, but we're powerful team when
we get together, Hannah. Can you leave
your bakin for little while?'
''If anythin burns, can bake again, -
she said sententiously, 'but il Maria gifts
away with Bill Jones she's gone for good. Z"
"Git on your boomers In hurry, then, I"
exclaimed tho old man. "I'll be gittin the
tandem wheel out of the woodshed mean
while and if we don't make those two
scorohers think there's a whirlwind after
them it'll be funny
'Do you s'pose they forgot about the
tandemp"
''Maybe they thought we'd forgotten
how to ride it, - replied the old man grimly
as he made his back into the form of an
arc just to satisfy himself that he had not
forgotten how to do it.
And that night as Bill Jones looked
longingly up at the window of the room
where he knew his fair one was confined,
he bitterly reproached himself for his fool
ishness in thinking that single wheel
could get away from a tandem and he
swore softly to himself that when next he
tried to take the maid away he would have
a sextuplet, fully manned and with an
auxiliary gas engine attachment.-Ch
