prompting by question now and then.
We were on the rear seat of a wagon,
with the driver on the front seat. 1t was
a very dark night. In the middle of the
Bishops exposition the wagon took q
wild plunge, there was crash, and over
we went into the muddy ditch. Il beg
your pardon, gents y said the driver, who
had retained control Of the horses, as we
scrambled to our feet, Il was so inter-

my immortal soul, which hardly ever
knowed that had one befor' that clean
forgot where we was, and drove you
