He laid his biaekened pipe aside,

As April's misty sky;

The winds Of March were keen.
But all his soul was thrilled to hear

THE AUTO BACKED.

Dominic and Chauffeur were Presby-
terians. May join Baptists now.
From our German Valley Correspondent
Edison J. Neighbour, one of our
most prominent business men, and
Rev. Mr.. Simanton, of HackettStown,
started last Thursday morning for
the fremens parade at Someryllle
in Neighbours automobile.
While riding along the power-race
leading from the Duke estate to
Raritan they encounted horse and
carriage on the narrow driveway.
The horse took fright and they stop
ped the auto to allow it to pass In
starting, Mr.. Neighbour backed the
machine toward the power-race in
order to turn around. The chain
breaking on the gears, caused the
auto to get into an uncomfortable
mood and it plunged down a high
embankment into the race, carrying
the occupants with it. Mr.. Neigh
bour, as faithful chauffeur, stuck to
the lever until the water was
| touched and not having on his diving
suit, sprang out and landed safely on
shore.
The dominic not being so nimble OF
foot, or being too scared, was de-
posted in the race and received a
complete baptism by immersion.
He swan to shore and repaired to the
house of an Italian family near by and
exchanged his wearing apparel for
high water pants, a South Carolina
red shirt and a derby of the latest
block. From distance one would
have thought that new recruit had
just landed from sunny Italy. Mr.
Simanton made his way to Somer-
vile where he procured a new outfit
and came to German Valley via
Central Railroad on the evening train
and from thence to his home at
Hackettstown. Mr.. Neighbor didn't
reach German Valley until the late
train Saturday evening. Messrs.
Neighbour and Simanton were staunch
Presbyterians, but are seriously
thinking of becoming Baptists.
They are also ready to talk acct
dent insurance. The auto was badly
wrecked.

After the Sun had set.

Just after the sun had gone down
and darkness had come on Wednes.
day, the air went out of one of the
tires on Martin p. Jones' blackboard
automobile on South street opposite
DeHart street. There was stiffness
about it, no steaming noise, it simply
passed away quietly.
What to do Martin knew. He and
his trusty operator opened the valve
and began punching air back in il
again. 1t was a hard task, but ac'
cording to a yellow journal reporter
there were thousands standing by
with willing hands, but gave nc
assistance. There happened to be
plenty of shot air" about and the
faulty tire was pulled up and the
machine with it's occupants went its
way thirty minutes after the acct
dent.

Alvin gazed at them earnestly.
ITO think" he marveled. that we have
come TO the very last land on this side OF
the worldl Suppose we were to sail still
further west? What is it likely that we
would come to? Does the ocean end In
wall Of ice or would we fall of the earth
and go tumbling heels over head through
the darkness? BY ST. George 1t makes one

Helga's ideas were not much clearer. IL
was nearly 500 years before the time of Co.
lumbus. But she knew one thing that Al
win did not know.
Greenland is not the most western land
she corrected. There is another still fur
| ther west, though no one knows how big 1t
| is or who lives in IL.
She turned, laughing. to where young
Haroldsson sat counting the wealth of his
pouch and calculating how valuable could
be the presents he could afford to bestow on
his arrival.
'Eigurd, do you remember that western
land Biorn Rerjulfsson saw? And how we
were wont to plan to run away to II, when
grew tired of embroidering and Left kept
you overriding at your exercises?"
II have not thought of II since those
days" laughed Sigurd. He swept the mass
II gold and silver trinkets back into the vel
