those fine Navy reyolvers. These, {"
said he, will give you away"
Then asking how much money
they had, Bob said mighty little. 4"
David threw open his purse and
exposed a hundred dollars in gold.
You are well supplied" he said
to David, aud handed Bob twenty
FIVE dollars. At the home of the
proprietor of large livery stable,
they all took dinner. All enjoyed
the dinner and its gay sallies of
wit. Turning to David the pro-
prietor said, i would like to have
you for my chief hostler. Dayid's
eye flashed fire, he was about to
make a cutting reply, when Nc
Donald turned the whole thing in
to joke by some appropriate re-
marks.
The proprietor placed David and
Bob in a buggy aud he went in
another they were to follow, not
too close, but always to keep in
sight. In this way the city of To-
rontO was left. They were to
come TO n station from the coun-
try.
The night was gathering when
they arrived at this station. a few
idlers were lounging around. One
old man had a box of eyeglasses.
He had been peddling in the coun-
try. Wishing to while away an
hour or two while waiting for the
train, David asked the old gentle
man about travelling. The rustics
gathered around to listen to the
instructions to two verdant youths,
who had never Travelled.
My young friends" lie began,
there is much to learn in travel.
l have been in Europe several
times. There are so many ways to
catch young men, you will have to
be very careful. You speak Of GO
ing to Montreal. There are on
some of the streets there stands of
beautiful flowers, they will ask you
to hav" bouquet, but Gon't you
accept it, they are perfumed with
drugs that will render you uncOn-
scious in little while, when they
will rob you of your money, aud
often even your clothing" David
could hardly keep from roaring
with laughter, not at the advice of
the peddler, for that was good, but
at the plying glunces the Station
loungers were giving Bob and him
self.
Boarding the train on the Grand
Trunk in the night, they made
their way toward Montreal. There
was a fair in progress at Kingston.
Warren BrothertOn had gotten on
the same train: from some cause
the coach upon which they were
travelling was switched off. After
waiting ever so long, Bob said,
This coach has been left" and
sure enough. Three boys were sit
ting in the dark, waiting for mo-
ton, without an iron horse to pull.
Going to the depot they learned
the coach was left to take passen-
gers to the fair the next day. This
delay gave, daylight to look over
Lake Ontario, and the great st.
Lawrence river. The shadows of
evening began to gather as the
Grain pulled over the fine arched
bridge at Montreal. The lights
were burning. AS they were to
start for Quebec soon, they did not
visit the streets, where the deceit
ful flowers were blooming, nor see
the gay Frenchwomen of the
English peddlers talk.
