tween Easton. Pa, and the Delaware
Water Gap.
The Westminster "thankee' NUNS" do
not mind slaughtering a stranger who
happens their way. but those on the
route we followed yesterday from Phila-
delphia go cunning for you and never
use less than a handful Of ouckshot.
They have the strange faculty Of sneak
ing up behind after you have passed
and slipping you memento In the way
Of Jolt that makes you think you are
the sole survivor after an earthquake.
On the way TO Philadelphia we lost our
equanimity and a good journeyman

We lost our interest In automobiles
