the news was shouted aloft Here I
am up here half scared to death, and
down there is my Samuel almost in a
fit"
well, I'm not to blame for it," re-
piled Mr.. Hawkins.
II believe you are. I can see vii
lain written in every line on your face
Lay as much as the tip of your finger
on me and I'll make you rue it to the
last day of your iife!!''
"You shut up and keep quietr' shout
ed the young lawyer at her. Cant
you see that your hitching around may
upset this carp
I'm a dead woman-I know | am
she walled as she began to shed tears.
Didn't l tell you to keep still?'
She sank down in the bottom Of the
car. crowding his legs until he had to
haul them up. and Mr. Hawkins swore
according to Coke and Blackstone.
In the next car below Mr. Winter
bury and the old maid were also hav-
ing some conversation, He was a
young man and looked like good
thing, and her heart went out to him.
AS her heart went out she exclaimed:
what a romantic bower for pair
| Of lovers. All around US the meadows,
| overhead Gods sky! I hope you ap-
preciate the beautiful ....

the savage reply.
"Say not so. I could ride on for
ever"
you may ride all you please after I
get out
It was an unkind remark, and the old
maid took it so and fared up and told
Mr.. WATERBURY that be was evidently
a loafer in disguise and that her broth
er down below would wallop better
manners into him as soon as the wheel
turned. Then the rivals caught sight
Of each other and began to shake their
fists and indulge in epithets. These
things scared the fat woman until she
maid until she threatened to stab her
vis-a-vis with a hatpin if he didn't give
over. He gave over, but not until be
had said:
"If l ever catch that long nosed
young man on the solid earth Til reno
him limb from limb. and if hung for il
I'll go to the gallows with a song or
my lips"'
A thunderstorm had been creeping
up. The owner of the machine didn'
know whether he had earned his S4t
or not. He finally decided that b,
hadn't, and, while seemingly industri
ously at work to make repairs, he &C
complished nothing and left all hi
patrons to get wet.
There was a strong wind ahead O
the rain, and the people aloft sat witt
their hearts in their mouths The thun
der roared, and they roared with ii
The lightning cut up didos, and shrek
rent the air. When the rain came al
were soaked in a minute This includ
ed the fat woman and the old maid
and they privately informed Messrs
Hawkins and WATERBURY that thel
vengeance would be deep and deadl
and last through three generations.
The owner of the wheel was a ma
who believed In giving full measur
for the money. He kept the whee
still for the full time he had agree
upon and then added ten minute:
By that time the storm had cease
and the sun Of joy shone agar
Messrs. Hawkins and WATERBURY CAV
him one long lingering look as tn
wheel came round and then leape
from their seats and walked away
They walked toward and past th
e girl of their hearts as she stood smi
. ing beside her mother but they didn
! see her. They didn't want to. Th
thunderstorm had washed their Low
t away never to return. Henceforth 4
more caramels. no more roses It wa
: as if nothing ever had been-nothin
but law and literary work.
