Carfer possessed pride - a good deal of if was false, buf neverfheless if was pride. The oafh was accompanied by a nof so soff screeching of brakes and a final noisy crash info a felegraph pole con- venienfly sfanding by. Whew! Thai' muff! , growled Carfer, in an unpleasanf mood. Who would be pleasanf wifh a brand new smashed '8' on his hands? A sharp cry, accompanying a sfreak of flame and gold, fhaf came from a sfore and dashed ouf fo where fhe small brown and yellow bun- dle sfill sfubbornly held fhe road, cuf off any furfher exclamafion. Then, as fhe bil' of flame and gold came fowards him carrying fhe squirming brown and yellow, Carfer forgof fhe demolished '8', fhe cerfain lady.

Up sprang Carfer, a'l' fhe bidding of his love, and ran swiffly fo fhe brook, armed wifh a huge pole. He sfepped on a rock and heroi- cally affempfed fo fish ouf Tommy. The rock, unforfunafely, and much fo Carfer's surprise, was slippery-he fell in! Meanwhile fhe bif of yel- low and brown courageously swam fo shore, lfhe wafer was only six inches deepl fo be hearfily welcomed by his lady. Carfer, quife deiecfed, hauled himself ouf of fhe mud.

Arriving here, fhe honorable genfleman suddenly somersaulfed in fhe air and landed on his ear in fhe fulip bed, losing one of his shoes in fhe process.
