hand and drew him to the overturned
boat she said:

J When Bunny went to his room for
the night he was almost ready to adj
NIT that he was wrong in arguing that
: there were no up to date girls. The
next morning something happened to
please him. He was invited to take a
morning gallop in company with the
young lady, and he saw his way clear
to pay off old scores. He was given
the best mount, but the gallop had not
covered a hundred rods when 1t was
evident that horse and man were not
agreed. At the first fence to be jump
ed the horse remained on one side and
Bunny on the other, while the girl dis
appeared in the distance and didn't
seem to miss her cavalier for a full
hour. Bunny's excuse was that he lift
ed his horse too soon for the jump and
that there was something wrong with
the climate of the United States.

went buggy riding. Bunny took the
reins with a determination to show Off
He was showing when Miss Nettie
took the reins away and brought the
runaway animal down to his PAGES
There was one more bump In store fol
the young man. Next day. after wres
Ting for an hour with his palpitatins
heart, he made proposal in due form
Miss Nettie realized what was coming
and was prepared for it. She simply
handed him an advertisement she hat
written and proposed to insert in the
leading papers. 1t read:
IAN up to date girl wishes to adop
an orphan boy and be mother to him
Will teach him how to climb trees
stand on his head and turn back hand
springs. All new ideas taught as sooI
as they appear. A positive guarantees
given not to bore him. A cure for Ian
guidness and the London complain

confidence"
That was another bump for Bunny
but he took it like little man. In
stead of returning to his old ways ant
his old life, he went over to Oldfield
and bought the right to plant oysters
and he has displayed such energy ant
ambition during the past year that Bur
Galbraith looks at him across the clul
dinner table and mutters to himself:
