FRIENDS IN DOUBT.
Carl Harding, the Pla.nheld street FISH
dealer enjoys the reputation OF being an
honest and upright man. but he has got
his friends guessing now. for n few days
ago he told a few OF them that he was
going TO Europe. and as he was gone for
some time 1t was supposed that he was
on his way 10 Europe.
He put in his appearance again satur-
day morning and no one really cares 10
ask him about the trip. for they do not
want to think OF Cal as anything but
q truthful man. so they have come TO
the conclusion that Cal made the trip
either in an airship or n pneumatic tube
the latter being the more probable. Cal
is president OF the Out-of-Town club and
II Is possible that he Will propose a trip
over the route or through the tube that
he took at the next meeting of the club
1t is also probable that where and how
Gal went may come up for considera- |
ton at this same meeting.
