horses, frantic with terror, dashed
down Meeting house Hill, the log cab
in swaying violently and threatening
each moment to keel over on one side
Wings and democrats alike flew to the
rescue and Pompey at last being cap

Trask Leighton under his breath,
casting look of suspicion at Dick.
But that yonng gentleman was en-
gagged at that precise moment in try

his efforts, with quick grabs, from off
the horse
Il say! who's goin' to take him
eff anyway" queried Dick, finally
ceaslrg from his efforts. Here's Bob,
yOu 90 it he's yonr candidater'

ing and the old tin coffee pot which
hung from her waist andwhich she al

full of luscious blackberries.
Here. let me take him off | amt

himself trIumphantly on her shoulder,
chuck,ing and grinning and patti ne
her cheek In way that made certain
of the bystaDders fairly shudder.
Queer, amt ii. how things do take

"Of course" said Dick; Il haven't
ANYTHING 'gainst Gen Harrison, only
that he's whig"
An they do say he'll be elected,
added Calline Folks pear to lik,
to 'lect general! Well You and IN,
