TUB ATLANTA GKUKUIA.N AN l) NEWS. SA I L KDAY. APRIL. 26, 1913. 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 bV delivered for another month, and li ’ ■ couldn't let Gene Filers get all that ! start of me after what you said An Extra Charge.

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 either from 't little as Ah can of m in this tom-fool lolght. bit till Ah scoop up an armful 0 leaves and throwm on they e!^* h '' ^, o’ fire, yon.” To Be Continued Monday.
