The wild ride appeared to last for
ages. The fast trot of the horses was
a funeral pace to the fight of my ex-

If We should be overtaken?
At last the houses began to pass
more frequently. Now the road was
broken by cross streets. Gas lamps
appeared, ficlling faint and yellow in
the morning air. We were once more
within city limits. The painting horses
never slackened pace. We swept over
long bridge, and plunged down a
shaded street, and the figure of the
horseman was the only sign of life
behind us.
OF a sudden there sounded long

reveille for an army of giants. The

to resent my interference. Then he
shrugged his shoulders as though II
was none of his business whether we
were lunatics or not so long as we
paid for the privilege, and rang the
engine bell for full speed ahead.
We had just come out of the Oak
land Creek channel and the mist sud
denly thinned before us. 1t left the
bay and the city fair and wholesome
in the gray light, as though the storm
had washed the CRIME and foulness
from air and earth and renewed the
freshness of life. We had come but
few hundred yards into the clear air

shot another tug.
