An Air With Real Air.

During one Of the political tours Of
Mr.. Cleveland, in which he was accom-
panied by Secretary Olney, he arrived
during severe storm at a town in
which he was to speak. AS he en-
tered the carriage with his friends and
was driven from the station the rain
changed to hail, and immense stones
battered and ratified against the We
hicle. A brass band, rather demoraliz-
ed by the storm, stuck bravely to its
post and played.
"That is the most realistic music ]
have ever heard" remarked the presi-
dent
"What are they playing?' asked the
secretary of state
"'Hail to the Chief with real hail!"

an automobile shot past at a speed
that rendered his cry unavailing.

cried Howard. eve have been search

anxious voice from the car, and Bobby
knew that Nancy's sister was there
too.
She gave little cry when Howard
brought the girl to her and covered
the tear stained face with kisses.
Howard made up bed in the tonneau
for the children and ran on to where
the road permitted a turn toward
home. Bobby was not sleepy now.
and he stood leaning over the back Of
the front seat watching the car eat
up the road
"We was eloping lovely" he said
plaintively, until Nancy got tired.

II guess it does, old man." was the
laughing comment. Suppose that you

"What's proxy?" demanded Bobby
curiously.
"Its this way" explained Howard

Bobby regarded his brother suspi-

Howard was up to when he used the
big words, but the proffer of halt
dollar was business proposition, and
he stretched out his hand.
The exchange was made and How.

"Etta," he said gently, ut would be
