The Start.
Without much ceremony the shift
boss or "hard-boiled Tommy" as he
was called, gave my bucket a little
shove. A sudden jerk, and bucket,

skywatd into realms OF our feathered
friends OF the wilderness. We were
climbing upward, upward at an angle
of about 30 degrees, although it SEEM
ed like go. Head to the rear, legs
hanging loosely from tho front Of the
little iron carriage, I felt like help
less steer going to the sla6ghterhouse.
My heart was where my tonsils used
to be and except for my loose-hangine
feet was as tense as a doe at bay.
The cables took downward trend
towards secluded valley. I had not
attempted to look below us per instruc-
tons. but this earthbound movement OF
tho bus gave mo the opportunity to
view this valley. l was still several
hundred feet above the white land
when again my heart began to jump
and the fear monsters seized me at a
new thought
What II the bucket, hundred feet
behind mo with its several tons of
iron, should become unchanged on the
down grader What would I do whom
that tremendous weight should ram

A little house was soon descernable,
and felt that all my troubles we're

dinners and wonders why on earth
they can't go later. Naturally, the pair
do not explain that there isn't a
chance to get on the back row after
1880. In case they miss, 1t is neces-
sary to sit down 'front.' where every
body can see Sally parked against
Bills shoulder. Such an exhibit COM
petes with the comics in atfording
amusement This is embarrassing.
Much better to be on the back row,
where there are no eyes boring into
the back of your neck. But alas, the
back row is too small for the number
of Bills and sallys. so tho only thing
to do is fight way in early.
The Ice Cream Parlor.
Here you fnd them after the dance
or the movies, their noses mixed with
the straws In tall glasses of chocolate
soda, or their chins daubed with spin
nings of marshmallow from one Of
those sundaes that try to beat the
weekly hash 70 variety of contents.
1t is considered witty for tho fell
lows to say to the girls, "Come on and
drink sundae. or let's take bite out
of soda" Tho FIRST wit who said It
ought to be proud of himself. Such
wise remarks are like popular songs
II they take, well everybody sings them.
It's just as important to walk on the
vest side Of Flfty-second street Us It
is to select the south side Of Chestnut
street There. IL you have a new dress.
It will be seen by the people for whom
you put it on. There you, parade with
any new masculine acquisition you
happen to have caught during the
week.
It's hard to tell the mob reasoning
that makes crowd Of people think
life is alluring II they walk on the west
side Of the street and dlsmally uninter-
esting II they take the opposite side.
But you couldn't convince the strollers
on Fitty-second street that one pave
ment is Just as good as another since It
was construed by the same company.
In any event the street is gaudy
highway ablaze with lights. It acts
like a magnet on the rows and rows
OF houses in the dim streets beyond
the lights, dragging from their up
holstered armchairs people of every
age. They come eager for excitement
for brllliance, for anything that will
give grand finale to the week.
