HE GOT A
CAR
“G
A Humorous Story
KNF7 FILERS has a new auto
mobile,” said Harry Jungles-
He had stopped his trotter
st the gate of the Trampton farm
for the very good reason that at the
^*te Tearl Trampton was waiting for
* the mail man.
“Has he?” inquired Pearl, with inter
est. Then, quite casually, she ad
dressed the fence post. ”1 should nev-
'I. < r,” said she, “marry a man who didn't
own an automobile. Why, I wouldn’t
oare if it were only a wheelbarrow-
, v .iust so it was an automobile.'’
? "Giddap!" said Harry Jungles to his
trotter Arriving at the town of Three
{ Tines, he told the hardware man who
* had been pestering him for a month
v ahdut the mare he could have her for the
price he offered.
"Going to buy a car?” asked the sat
isfied hardware man when he had paid
down Hie money. “Everybody seems
tr ( * be getting ’em nowadays! ’
“t want to buy some things." Harry
told him, briefly. That was one thing
about Harry Jungles He had down to
' perfection the art of not hearing what
people .said to him, thereby saving much
* time in which to think.
! She Hears Him.
*' If Pearl Trampton passed a good deal
*' of time the next ten days waiting at
% rhf mall box it did not disturb any one
* ’ hut her mother, who remarked on rooms
•- undusted and chickens unfed, but to
w' no avail.
*’ When a young woman puts on a freeh
froyk every day and troubles to do bet I
** hair the new way, and nobody comes to
view the dazzling result except an aged
T- mail carrier with a wife and six chil-
? *iren. it is likely to wear her nerves i
* ragged as a natural reaction. Harry j
*• Jungles was duo to get a particularly
* fccid reception whan he did appear. But
'• he was saved by the fact that Pearl j
saw* him coming Heard him coming
‘ * would be more exact.
Long before his head appeared over 1
*' the slight ridge in the road. Pearl lis- j
toned in amazement to the remarkable .
chugging sound that was approaching
When she saw Harry she sat down
-y suddenly. She stared helplessly when
hr stopped, with some effort, before her
p “How do?” Harry said, casually.
He was seated somewhat preearious-
- ]y in the largest wheelbarrw Pearl had
over seen, with two extra wheels under
. ii, a motor attached to Hie rear and a
, clever amateur steering gear in front,
t Never would she have thought that a
.♦ human being in such an absurd position
* could look so entirely at ease.
"Wuni anything in town?” Harry
asked.
.•.•■When Pear! managed to gasp out a
.. faint “No" he grabbed a handle and
* choked it. hanged his foot on a valve
and shook the apparatus in front of him
fiercely, whereupon the wheelbarrow
... -lunged, snorted and trundled off.
,, “And he's actually going to appear
on the streets of Three Pines in that
. thing!" she murmured in agony. "Oh,
my! What have t done'.’" *
Naturally she did not know that Mar-
ry Jungles on reaching the turn below
the Trampton farm headed his wheel-
bairow around that section of land and
. back home.
.. Alter that he came to see Pearl every
ulay. always in his unique motor cat
, He never mentioned it and Pearl was
. afraid to after that first appearance of
.his when he had ignored it so com
pletely. But she suffered at the hands
, r>f. her family, who said it was a dis
grace to the community and that she
must make Harry Jungles stop it. Pearl
could have done this easily enough by
telling him not to call, but apparently
rho idea never occurred to her.
What He Did.
. “Want to go for a ride?" Harry asked
f: finally one bright, day when he stopped
? at the mail box. "There's room for
j two!"
- "No. I don’t!” she answered, with
*■# spirit
! ' "Will >ou marry me?" he Inquired
- • next in precisely the same tone,
Thereupon Pearl burst into tears and
>• Harry descended from the barrow with j
n so ntuch speed that the machine tipped |
over and was fatally wrecked.
“Wh-wh-why do you ride in that aw '
awful thing?" sobbed Pearl on his
shoulder
» "Had to," Harry told her. "You J
said"
f ** “You never asked me!" flashed she,
indignantly. “I d-didn’t care whether
1 you had any old automobile or not,
goose! Why did you have to?’
« "Because, said, the practical Jungles, j
i»~ "the hew automobile I've ordered won’t j

TO- DA Y’S 1NSTALLM E N T.
He did coming back later with a
piece of surprising news. For it Just
so happened that the idea of a week's
holiday-making, a weeks rambling
about the green lanes and along the
chattering ptreams of Devon, and liv
ing the simple life in a caravan, ap
pealed to Mr Maverick Narkom as
being the most desirable thing in the
world at that moment and he made
haste to ask Cleek's permission to
share t‘>,' holiday, with him. As noth
ing could have been mero to his great
ally's liking, the matter was settled
forthwith; a caravan whs hired—and
.? —
dispatched by rail to Devon, there to
await their arrival and the engaging
of local horses to draw the movable
house ami at 10 the next morning
the little party turned its back upon
London and fared forth to the pleas
ant country lands, the charm of
laughing waters and the magic that
hides the trees.
For six days they led an absolutely
idyllic life -"the world forgetting, by
th»- world forgot'—loafing in green
w ildernesses and sleeping in whisper
ing woods, and this getting back to
nature proved as much of a tonic to
the two men as to the boy himself—
refreshing both mind and body; put
ting red blood into their veins and
breathing the breath of God into their
nostrils
Having amply provisioned the cara
van, before starting, they went no
nearer to any human habitation than
they were obliged to do in passing
from one district to another, and one
day was so exact a pattern of the
next that Its history might have stood
for them all—up with the daw*n and
the birds and into woodland pool or
tree-shaded river; then gather fuel
and make a fire and cook breakfast;
then wash the utensils, harness* the
horses and move on again—Sometimes
Cleek driving, sometimes Narkom.
sometimes the boy—stopping when
they were hungry to prepare lunch
just as they hac^ prepared breakfast,
then forging on again until they found
some tree-hedged dell or bosky wood
where they might spend the night,
crooned to sleep by the wind in the
leaves and watched over by the senti
nel stars.
So they had spent the major part of
the week, and so they might have
spent it all but that chance chose to
thrust them suddenly out of idleness
into activity and to bring them—here
in this Arcadia—face to face again'
with the evils of mankind and the
harsh duty of the law’
A Curious Thing.
It had gone 9 o’clock on that sixth
night when a curious thing happened.
They had hailed for the night by the
banks of a shallow, chattering stream
which flowed through a wayside spin-
ne>. beyond whose clustering tree
tops they had seen, before the light
failed, the castellated.top of a distant
tower, and. further arteld. the weath
er cock on an uplifting church spire.
They had supped and were enjoying
their ease—the two men sprawling at
full length on the ground enjoying a
comfortable smoke while Dollops,
with a mouth harmonica, was dong
“Knocked ’Em in the Old Kent Road,"
his back against a tree, his eyes up
turned in ecstasy, his long legs
stretched out upon the turf and his
feet crossed one over the other, and
all abour them was peace; all the sor
did. money-grubbing, crime-stained
world seemed millions of miles away
when, all of a sudden, there came a
swift rush of bodies, trampling on
dead'leaves and brushing against live
ones, then a voice cried outcommand-
ingly,* “Surrender yourselves in the
name of the King!" and scrambling
to a sitting position, they looked up
to find themselves confronted by a
constable, a gamekeeper and two
farm laborers—:the one with drawn
truncheon and the three others with
cocked guns
“Hullo, I say!” began Mr. Narkom.
in amazement. “Why, what the dick
ens ’’ but was suffered to get no
farther.
“You mind your P’s and Q’s!—I
warn you thal anything you say will
be used against you!" interjected
sharply and authoritatively the voice
of the constable. “Hawkins, you and
Marlow keep close guard over these
chaps whilst me and Mr. Simpkins
looks around for the animals. I said
it would be work of gypsies didn’t
I now*. Mr. Simpkins?" addressing the
gamekeeper. “Come on and let s have
a look for the beast. Keep «>’ w
peeled and gun at full cock. Mr
Simpkins, and give un both barrels
un make to spring at us. Fegs! this
be a sharp capture, Mr. Simpkins—
w’hat?”
“Aye, but un seems to taike it un
common cool, Mr. Nippers—one on
'em’s arfln’ fit to bust hisself!” re '
plied the gamekeeper as Cleek slappp j
both thighs and, throwing back hi*
head, voiced an appreciative guffaw
“Un doan’t look much like gyps ieP
