THF BUPTONIAN passed hlm As I rounded the curve at the top I looked back and saw h1m stxll halfway down On the top of the mountam there was a level stretch of about three mrles If I had not p1Cked up a large nall ln the front tire everything would have gone all rlght Th1s was fixed m about tive mxnutes but when I started up agaln my frlend was nearly on fire He had to stop and have lt put out wlth sand He had to descend by uslng the reverse pedal when hrs motxon became too rap1d At the foot I had the mxsfortun of being forced mto a mud puddle The water got on my spark co1ls and I had to stop My frlend soon passed me and regarded me wlth a contemptuous gaze It took qulte a long tlme to dry my co1ls and when I finally got gomg I was IH such a hurry that I just mlssed a tram at a crossmg After golng along the road for several miles It became apparent that my f11end had h1d trouble wlth h1s coollng system Then I observed lnm a ways up the ro d The cllmbmg of the mountaln had weakened h1s radxator and gomg up thls steep grade h1s radxator had burst and had been completely destroyed Though I was sorry for my frxend I could not suppress a smlle The con stant stram of steady travel weakened me and I had to go at a slower pace After a half hour I notlced a strange object gammg upon me from behmd I finally recognlzed It to be my fr end Belng wlthout a coolmg system one had been constructed A barrel found by the road sxde was t1ed ln front of the englne Two old lnner tubes whlch had been cut IH two connected It to the engme Someone stood on th hood and pumpd a1r mto the barrel w1th a hand pump and caused the water to clrculate As I was watchxng my frxends altered appearance he suddenly seemed to rlse mto the alr wlth a terrltic exploslon I remember no more untxl I found myself here My frlend had also been brought here He has never been fully consclous slnce I heard afterwards that the cause of the explos1on was that the barrel used as a radmtor was half full of gasolme When the slowly pumped mlxture had come ln contact wlth h1s hot motor the tragedy occurred The Dodge turned his fender and Slghed Under h1s breath the second Ford muttered Inflammatlon of the magneto THE SECOND IIONEYMOON By Rua S6d9'WlC'i Mlrandy and Joshua arrlved 1n the c1ty Yes the old coup'c have come from a l1ttle country town up state to New York for then' Golden Wcddlng Heh Mxrandy halnt them the gol dernest crltters you ever d1d saw?
