within like jaded beast by the sting Oh
a whip, is straining his ears to catch
what is passing within. And what hears
he? The song is ended, and Dawson
cries:
"You han't lost your old knack of
catching tune, Moll Come hither,
wench, and sit upon my knee, for l do
love ye more than ever. Give me buss,
chuck. This fine husband of thine shall
not have all thy sweetness to himself.
At this moment Simon, having lifted
the latch under his thumb, pushes wide
open the door, and there through the
thick cloud of tobacco smoke Mr.. God
win sees the table in disorder, the white
cloth flung back over the remnants of
our repast and stained with patch of
liquor from an overturned mug, a smut
ty pipkin set upon the board beside a
dish of tobacco and broken pipe-me
sitting o. one side the hearth heavy and
drowsy with too much good cheer, and
on t'otber side his young wife, sitting
on Dawson 8 knee, with one arm about
his neck and he in his uncouth seaman s
garb, with a pipe in one hand, the other
about MOL waist, a-kissing her yielded
cheek. With a cry Of fury, like any
wild beast, he springs forward and
clutches at knife that lies ready to his
hand upon theboard, and this cry is an
swered with a shrek from Mol as she
starts to her feet
who is this drunken villain?' he
cries, stretching the knife in his hand
toward Dawson.
And Mol, fiinging herself betwixt the
knife and Dawson, with fear for his
life, and yet with some dignity in her
voice and gesture, answers swiftly:
| "This drunken villain is my father. "

Why buy Second Grade
Wheels when you can get an
old reliable make for above
prices.
Ramblers come fully guar
anteed, and we can furnish any
customer the guaratee IN
Writing, but so far we have not
found customer who cared to
have it put in writing, as they
all know that when we state
that we will replace any part
of wheel proving defective
within a year from date Of
purchase, that we will do so.
If you want good wheel
that will not cost so much as
the above, we have the well
known Hartford, which is
made by the Pope Mfg. Co.,
who make the Columbia, and
you can get a Hartford from
$50 to $85, according to size
and style. The same guarantee
for replacement Of any defec-
tive parts goes to you with a
Hartford.
