ing the Pilot car.

like a skyrocket six or seven cars, and
the occupants we're waving salutations
frantically The first two cars were

the town, but the others--they we're
the ones that caused the Boosters to
raise from the cushions and yell like

aud girls, all hammered and making a
racket that soon drowned the feeble
effort of the Boosters, and they imag-
ined they could make considerable
