Held Up BY the Mound. .builders.

John H. Mackerly and Clyde Patton
wouldn't have you know it for the world
But, If you'll lean your ear this way,
and promise to keep mum, we'll tell you
how it was. They had gone to the Ma.
sonic installation at Sinking Spring,
Thursday evening. Mackerly insisted
that he must get back to Hillsboro that
night, as he had promised to return John
MAYORS liver pad in the morning. He
selected Clyde, because of his bright,
blonde disposition, to illuminate the
journey homewsrd. Everything went
we'll until they got out about the tan
yard, where they ran into a tribe of
mound builders and Whoopemscoopem
warriors. These ancients of ancients
took the horse by the bride, and yelled
and danced and brandished their spears,
and held high carnival as they led their
captives up the precipitous slopes of
Fort Hill. Round and round the top
of that ancient fortification they gallop.
ed Over stumps and logs and sally
ports, that buggy bounced like rubber
balloon. Its occupants held to the flying
vehicle with the grip of death. Though
they yelled and begged, and their nair
stood straight with terror, their merciless
captors kept up the wild jubilee until
the first faint streakings of dawn. Some
time later, two detected travellers drove
up to the hotel in Sinking Springs, and
told the landlord in confidence, that they
had lost their road and been wandering
round Fort Hill all night. They asked
him to feed their horse, and let
them go before the others got up, and
then, never, never, no never, mention
it to living soul. And that's how it
was.
