"Ha! ha! ha!" laughed the Bellows.

NO: he'd be a cannibal." put in the

How do you make that out?" de-
manded the Bellows.
Because Tom is a brick himself -

''Wh-where are WEI" Tom sputter-

and shaking it from his coat and hair
and ears.
Hi, there, Look OUT" roared Rightly
grabbing Tom by the coat sleeve and
yanking him off to one side. A terri

him to see what had caused ii he saw

New York, March 22.-The stock
market to-day was unusually >active
for a half holiday and speculation was
bullish. The feature was activity in
St. Paul, and on dealings which pre-
scented an aggregate not recorded in a
long time, the stock rose over per
cent. Rock Island scored a larger
gain, but the movement was not re-
barded as so significant as in st. Paul.
Crop advices continued favorable and
spring wheat situation was said to be
greatly improved by heavy rainfall.
In the industrial list, the speculative
contest in Sugar, kept the stock ir-
regular, and it ended substantially
unchanged. Colorado Fuel and Iron
continued to reflect profit-taking. Cop
per was barely steady. Rumors of
contest for control ended a sharp rise
in Hooking Coal and Iron. Local Trac-
lions were heavy to weak on rumors
that the report OF referee in franchise
tax cases would be unfavorable to
the corporations affected. The bank
statement was favorable beyond most
optimistic expecta tions, but after its
publica ton there were liberal sales to
take profits, but Notwithstanding this
fact the market closed firm. Govern
ment bonds were unchanged, and rail-
road bonds were strong.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-03-23

HE had the luck not to hit any
thing, but he suffered just the same"
said Rightly. He flew on until he
got to a point where he was held fast
up in the air by the force of gravity
of 1000 different planets, and he's there
yet. At a distance he looks like an
other new star, but when you get close
to him he's nothing more than just a
plain, everyday Smarty."
II should think he'd starve to DEATH"
said Tom, as he reflected on the horrid
fate of Blenl1insop.
He would if he had any Appetite -
said the Bellows. But he hasn't. He's
so worried all the time that he can't
eat, so he gets along very well with
out food"
Let's quit talking now" suggested
the Poker, land get ride, eh?"
I'm ready said Tom eagerly.
Where do we start?"
There's the station up on the hill.
It's only about 700 miles. We can walk
it in a year." said Rightly.
II move we take this cloud that's
coming up, said the Bellows. I'm
winded."
Tom looked in the direction in which
the Bellows had pointed. and sure
enough, there was a cloud coming
slowly along, shaped very. much like a
trolley car, and on the front of it, as
it drew nearer, the lad was soon able
to discern the funny little figure of a
Brownie acting as motorman.
"Why, it's really "a trolley!" he cried.
Certainly it isl" laughed Rightly.
Didn't you know that? When you
have watched the moon from your win
dow at home and seen constant lines
of clouds passing up to 1t and stopping
before it's face night after night what
did you suppose they did it for? Fun
l guess not. They're clever people up
make use of everything going. They've
taken these electric clouds and turned
'em into a sort of Sky Traction COM
pany, and instead of letting 'em travel
all around the universe doing nothing
and raising thunder generally some of
the richer Brownies have formed a
company to control them
BY this time the cloud had reached
the point where our little party stood
and the motorman, in response to the
Bellows signal, brought it to a stand
still.
step lively, please" the conductor
cried from the rear end.
Tom and the two andirons and the
Poker and Bellows clambered aboard
The conductor changed a bell. The
motorman turned his wheel and the
cloud moved rapidly on.
And what a queer crowd of folks
there were on board that strange troll
ley cloud. Tom had never seen such
an interesting group before.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-03-23

you had narrow escape that
time" said Rightly as they excitedly
watched the toboggan speeding on its
way, an which, by the way, was filled
with lot of little youngsters no big
ger than Tom himself, children of all
colors, apparently, red, white and blue,
green, yellow and black. IF 1 hadn't
yanked you away you'd have been run
over"
But where are we?" Tom asked,
bewildered by the experience.
Were on the Crescent Moon at
last" said Lefty. IT'S the boss tobog-
gan slide, of the universe"
"A toboggan slide?" cried Tom.
