l not too warm for speedy work, but al together comfortable. It was good, cosy weather, sociable weather, that made men pause for barley in the profit from one another's company. These two met near the top of the hill, one~ going northward and down, the other southward and up.
 At first they merely stopped their ma chimes and held them . vi ct armis, which means. so the list of familiar foreign expressions in the dictionary says. by force of arms" But after a that they checked the wheels so they could point and otherwise gesticulate.
 T didn't know you lived up this way" tentatively said the downward person. whose real name is MT. John Dough.
 T don't" replied the upward person, whose real name is MT. Richard Rough. T was just taking the baby around to see nay mother-in--I mean his mother s mother-nly wife's mother, you know his grandmother. I never did like that word 'mother-in-law.' did you? It al- ways-I don't Know why-but some- how 1t makes me think of jails"
 "A great many feel that way about it." reJoined Mfr. Dough, and then has, tened to explain; mot about the jails, you know, but about the mother-in- laws-the word, you know, not them themselves. wonder how they got up the expression, anyhow. It seems to me they could have found something pleasanter. What make of machine is yours? don't belisNe ever saw one
 It was then that MT. Dough checked the wheels of hls own vehicle and and began to examine 1t in detail. So MT. Rough, not to be outdone in this spirit of oriental courtesy, checked the wheels of his machine and squatted 1fIIT 2. menced a minute inspection of it.
 Mine is called The Triple S." Mir. Rough answered; Safety, Strength, Speed you know. and I am frank to say 1t is as advertised. It possesses those, qualities in an admirable degree.
 Tt is an old make and doubt if it Is still on the market, but I regard 1t as one of the best ever made. I have Is the third thet's ridden in it. It has had some pretty hard usage. But what is yours?
 You see MT. Rough knew that half the fund of the possessive case is the fact that 1t has a nominattve case for the subject, first person, singular num- her, to go in: and MT. Rough, being unselfish. wished to share with his companion, whom he found so affable and intelligent, the delights of discus sion.
 Mines a Hercules Hummer Number S.. replied Mir. Dough enthusiastical- ly, and if I do say it, who, perhaps. should be the last to do so, there's new CT been ore made to beat 1t. Of course 1t is light-sort of a runabouL you know-but 1t Is strong and dura- ble and has plenty of speed. bought 1t because of it's ightness-something that my wife could handle, you know. on these steep grades. l toll you it takes mighty good man to drive a heavy machine up one of these hills"
 There Is great deal in what you say, replied MT. Rough seriously. "On of machine. like that Hercules Hum mer of years, is the most serviceable to be had. But until my boys wffe's mother-I mean my mothers wire's mother-you know the individual ! mean, he cried. reaching out to lay a supplicating hand upon MT. Coughs well-padded shoulder; well, before she moved south of Washington Street I found this Triple S all that could be mean the machine, not my (you know who)-has plenty of speed and there isn't more durable One-still sneak ing of the machine-to be had. I've never had an accident with 1t except once when my little fox terrier got tangled in the wheels and that was hardly anybodys fault except Topsy and goodness knows he suffered enough. Lust mere bump for the baby"
 oh. you are right in a way" said MT. Dough, patronizingly. but on these seventy-fve per cent grades won have got to have ball bearings, pneu- mat1c tires and double cylinders. And am here to tell you that 1t takes a good operator not only to drive up but to ease a machine down these hiIfy streets. A couple of weeks ago my wheels commenced to slip on the wet leaves and If hadn't reversed the ma chine so that I stood in front instead of behind might now be nearer child less than I am. though I should stiIl have one left"
 Well. my boy is getting restless so l suppose l had better push on" said MT. Rough. T am very glad to see you and some time We must take A yours"
 T thank you" MT Dough said very Is very fine. too. Good day, sir"
