Ah, yes, the sight win well repay

Discreetly we our steps delay,
Half minded To incur frown.

You have bean fitting everywhere
Since you deserted us last May

tightly and tried to see how near he

his wheelbarrow. He had distance of
forty feet to go. and he managed mat

"Oh, you did. eh? Then you wlllfully,

you? Boy, lemme get hold OF you

But Humpy drew back with the
wheelbarrow and stood ready to repel
an assault, and the man rubbed his

it was safety for him, but in turning

"Come over and we'll suck some

1t was a great temptation to Humpy.
He had sucked eggs before. and his

Then the fat man rose up and began

threatened him with over 200 kinds OF
punishment. He abused his father and
vowed he would never take his hat off
to his mother. and the way he did rip

grew red I'm the face and gasped for
breath and could say no more. The
cobbler went to pat him on the back
and lead him into sewing machine
shop where new and secondhand ma
chimes were sold on the installment
plan, and Humpy took advantage Of
the occasion TO make his escape.
He was sobered up little as he
passed on, but only for short time.
He saw large dog standing on the
corner while its master was I'm the
drug store to get something for cold
in the head. The dog was looking
across the street at n red headed boy.
who was washing n store window,
and he hadn't the slightest idea that
his life was I'm peril. No sooner had
Humpy caught sight OF the canine
than he had plan. 1t was to strike
the dog fair in the middle with the
wheel of his barrow and throw him
thirty feet high, the same as If be
had been caught on cowcatcher.
Wild Stories Circulated.
1t was a run of hundred feet, with
10 one In the way. and Humpy got up
steam to beat an express. The wheel
barrow wabbled about. but for the last
ten feet 1t kept a straight course. The
dog was stlll looking at the red head
ed boy and wondering IL he ever stole
harvest apples out of the country
when all nc once the wheel struck
him. He went down instead OF up,
and Humpy and the barrow went over
him.
Boy, dog and barrow were piled in a
heap. The dog recovered himself first
and bit the boy, and the barrow and
Humpys howls soon collected q
crowd. Some of them said that n
building had collapsed and killed seven
men and others that street car had
