automobiles which is now raging over

an automobile he goes to sleep and

the horse, and friend wife began to
shout at me, while Lohengrin stood
and scratched his left ankle with his
right heel.
Then the big machine made.a sudden
jump to the right and hilsed by US at
the rate of about SIoo fine, while the
lady passengers in the cabin de luxe
stood up and began to hand out medals
to each other because they didn't run
us down.
Ten minutes later Lohengrin came
to and looked over his shoulder at us
with a smile as serene as the morning
and once more resumed his mad career
onward. ever onward.
We were now about two miles from
home, and suddenly We came across a
big red touring car which stood in
front of roadhouse, sneezing inward
ly and sobbing with all its corrugated
heart.
Lohengrin saw the machine before we
did.
We knew there must be an automo-
bile near, because he stopped still and
quietly passed away.
/ jumped out and tried to lead him
by the Coroner's Delight, bu. he plant
ed his four feet in the middle of the
road and refused to be coaxed.
/ took that horse by the ear and
whispered therein just what / thought
about him, but he wouldn't talk back.
/ told him my wife's honor was at
stake, but he looked my wife over and
his lips curled with an expression
which seemed to say, Impossible"
1t was all off with us.
Lohengrin simply wouldn't move un-
til that sobbing Choo Choo Wagon had
left the neighborhood, so l went inside
the roadhouse to find the owner.

man chauffeur and eight bottles of beer
When | explained the pitiful situation
to him the chauffeur swallowed two
bottles of beer and began to cry.
Then he told the waiter to cali him
at 7:3o and he put his head down on
the table and went to sleep with his
face in a cute little nest of hard-boiled
cigarettes.
| rushed to the telephone and called
up the liveryman, but before l could

leave that spot until the Bubble went
away, and that the Bubble couldn't go
away until the chauffeur woke up, and
that the chauffeur couldn't wake up un-
til his mind had digested lot of wood
alcohol, so she jumped out of the trick
sleigh for the purpose of telling Lohen-
grin just what she thought about him
At that moment somebody opened the
-olding doors in the barn just ahead of
US, and Lohengrin, with a whitening
glance at friend wife and a shrug Of
his shoulders in my direction, tippy-
toed to cover and left us fat.
Ostler Joe, the charge d'afaires of
the barn, tried to stop Lohengrin and
ask for his credentials, but the equine
onion brushed right by and planted
himself and the droshly in the middle
of the barn floor, where he promptly
went to sleep again.
just as we hurried away to flag an
approaching trolley car l heard Ostler
Joe say to the slumbering Lohengrin:

were not quite sufficient to drive out that
element Of doubt SO characteristic of the
medical mind.
This medicine game is a sort OF hit

| some surprising advancements, and do
some good, but none knows better than
ourselves how ignorant we are. But I'm

What do you want me to be, Neale-

is how soon do you want to marry?"

guillotine.
The liveryman said that the name of
the horse was Lohengrin, because it
seemed to go better in German.
] drove Lohengrin up to Uncle
Peters residence, and all the way there
we ran neck to neck with a coal cart.
Lohengrin used to be fast horse,
but quite some time ago he stopped
eating his wild oats and now leads a
slower life.
When l reached the gate whistled

behind us very insistent choof-choof-

l whispered to Peaches, and then we
both looked at Lohengrin to see if
there was mental struggle going on
in his forehead, but he was rushing on

feet to make sure they didn't step on
each other.

Then | took the reins, cracked the
whip, shouted a few paragraphs of the
language General Villa uses in Mexico
when he captures Federal soldier,
and away we rushed like the wind
when it isn't blowing hard.
The hours flew by and we must have
gone at least half mile, when another
Kerosene Wagon came bouncing to-
ward us from the opposite direction.
In it was a happy party of ladies and
gentlemen, who were laughing and chat
ting about some people they had just
run over.
Lohengrin saw them coming and
stopped still in the middle of the road.
Then he hung his head as low as he
could, and believe if that horse had
been supplied with hands he would have
put them over his ears.
The people in the Bubble began to
