II don't know, Wen drive on

and act as he did. and so do pa and
ma, but"
But I've seen father come into the
house and kick the cat and yell at
mother that II he found any more
Jumps IN her mashed potatoes he'd
hunt another boarding place. Nice
old chap he is to advise a daughterl
What's that comlng?"

We'll. can. It's an auto. and we
are going 70 meet in the narrowest
part Of the road. You know how the
pony is about autos. II we don't have
a smash.up I'll miss my guess. Here
he comes. Don't do any screaming or
jumping out. If he's a gentleman he'll
come to our help. My stars, Kitty
VINO do you think It is?"
"Who?"
"sure's you live IT'S Ronald. Where's
my handkerchief / want to wave
to him"
Susie, forbid you to wavel"
"But I'm already waving!"
Think of my positionl"
And think of his! I'll bet a dollar
he's riding out in hopes to catch sight
Of you. Whoa, you idiot of a pony!"
Susie, must get out and run
through the woods!" exclaimed Mrs,
Anderson.

but therell be no running Howdy

head He's a fool of a pony about
autos Nice day. This is Kitty, your
wife. She wants to sit down on that
log with you and have a talk. The
pony viii stand now. and I'll gather
some Of those wild plum blossoms"
Man and wife stood looking at each
other in the greatest embarrassment
for moment, when Miss Susie spoke
again.
Right up there on that log. The
highway commissioner left it on pur
pose for tired people to sit down on.
And don't you sit too far apart either,
or 1 shall come and crowd in between
yc.. Hike along now"
Rather queer that we should meet
this way Mrs. Anderson" said the
husband as they got seated.
Yes, Mr.. Anderson, it is" was the
formal reply
'I didn't know but what you had
your divorce By this time"
IL was just on my way to town"
ITO file your application. see"
Father and mother said-said-"
Look here, you two" interrupted
Miss Susie as she came up switching
a branch Of the blossom, you want
to cut pa and ma out Of this thing
and get down to business. Ronald,
did you swear at Kitty?"
NO, not at her. I'd been to the
Doctors, and he had told me that
the itching aclsng thing on my neck
would probably develop into a car,
burcle 1t was the doctor l was swear
ing att"
But you kicked a footstool."
That was because there was no
dog to kick.
But you said you wished you had
never got married"
Because | knew that a carbuncle
on my neck would make me cranky
for a month, and pitied Kitty"
But you didn't come and say you
sas sorry"
81 was just on my way today"
There you are, sister Kitty. and
there you are" said Miss Susie 1T
was a case of Misunderstanding all
the way through. Ronald, If you ever
swear at doctors in her hearing again,
she can smash dishes. can't she?"
ITO be sure"
And, Kitty"
Miss Susie had turned her back to
the pair. She heard suspicious sounds
behind her, but she held her position
fC two minutes. Then she faced them
and said:
You two go home in the auto. and
I'll jog back with the pony. Pa and
ma will want to know all about it, and
I'll just say that if there are any more
idiots in Cur family they sit at the
head and foot of the table at meal
times"
