Aunt Mary started to answer. but
they came to four car tracks one after
another, and the successive shocks rem

Where are we going?" Burnett
asked.
Nowhere said Glover "Just
waking up the machine" And he turn
ed on onother million volts as ne spoke.
.'Oh, my bonnet" cried poor Aunt
Mary, and that bit of her adornment
was in the street and had been run over
four times before they could slow up,
turn around, and get back to the scene

nett. fish her out that extra cap from
the bottom. There, now, You won't
take cold, Aunt Mary
The cap, with its fore-piece, was the
browning glory of Aunt Mary's get-up.
The brain measurements of him who
had bought the cap being to its present
