began to twist and squirm, but there
was no getting away from 1t. Ladies
in their elegant dresses received their
share of it too, and were in a sorry
plight. a.
When Mr.. Roddy and his son mn

they started for home. 1t had ceased
raining and the drive was made IN
about thirty minutes and to show
that he was not recs:ess as regards
his health, Mr.. Roddy stated mat
only his coat sleeves and his trousers
below the knee were wet and that
he received a thorough rubbing and
a change of clothing and he was all
right and ready to attend church

floating and even the minister OF his
church was urprised to see him walk
