the occupants of the two seats in front
or her. Il don't see how you make that
out, pal There's Willie and Gwendo-

and Dorothy May in front of me and
heres me and mother What are you

Ing me such a fright. Why can't you
display little sense, WilIiarn?" The
elderly dame in black alpaca, who sat
in the same seat with the tall and bony
woman, shifted contemptuously, and
William hastily turned his head
straight 'front.'
There's some men amt never grown
up! Always act like FOOLS" said the
elderly dame in crisp, high tones.
Pa, gramma says you're a FOOL
said the freckled Dorothy May, leaning
over toward the window in an ecstasy
of delight as the big car swung down
Fifth street. But, alas, for Dorothy
May. The half clad doll she was swing

to that sufferin' child. Here, angel

clined rudely and climbed back on the
seat with the d-mannered man.
Behind the family party in the car
were three very smartly attired cou-

loudly to the sharp-nosed lady in the
seat with her.

The pert girls face flushed scarlet
and the young man with her laughed
nervously.
The big car had reached the open
country and was fairly flying. In one
of the rear seats a lady in a pink silk
waist and a picture hat gazed approx
ingly at the unhappy looking little
youngster at her side as she mentally
contrasted his sedateness and his pic
turesque attire with the lawless man
ners and plain clothes of the family
group further up the aisle. 1t was
evident that the lady in the pink silk
waist had an idea in her mind when
she planned the unhappy youngsters
