If ' !'AJ A r, -,, Robert Purdon crossed the river from Sleepytown to Wideawake ar.M lay oscitating on the bank where the wild time grows, for the alarm clock had not yet stopped ringing. He tried to reach the time piece with a sleepy toe, in order to tip it from the chair to the rug, but couldn't quite make it. Robert is forty-six years old and stout for his age. The alarm clock is bugler in the army of the men who work for wages. Robert's clock is one of the persistent kind which, not content with sounding reveille, will, after an interval which seems laden with bliss, but isn't, sound assembly; and, after another interval, will sound the call to arms; after which no man can remain sound asleep. Besides, the man who waited for it to sound taps would lose his job. Now if this had been Sunday morning Robert might have gone back for another nap, but this waa Monday morning; so, with a great effort of will, he grasped the thin iron bars at the head of the bed (They were tinted a delicate shade of blue, for his wife is a blonde. Strange, is it not, that a woman will choose a color to match her com plexion, but only occasionally chooses a husband to match her disposi tion? Also, is it not strange that the colors in their bedroom are in accordance with her complexion and not his? Yes, Indeed, it is not strange) grasped, I say, the thin iron bars and made his muscles dance. From downstairs there came a sound like the purring of seventeen hoarse cats. It was the coffee mill, which employs more hands than any othsr mill in the country. From a neighboring frying pan, wherein a rash egg hobnobbed with a rasher, aroe an odor, which, in the opinion of many, has onions skinned. To Robert it was not unpleasing. He opened his eyes and smiled. The sun shot a ray through the window and hit the lounge on which, the night before, he had thrown negligently not untidily! no! negligently his trousers; then passed on to the dressing table on which reposed his collar and tie; and rested at last on the wallpaper, a delicate shade of blue to match the bed. Ever and anon, 'it "A sleepy cloud obscured the orb of day" (Smith) and Old Sol had to take another shot. There was a hint of moisture in the air. Across the roof of the porch Robert could see, on the opposite side of the street, the lower branches of the trees s "Their leaves, like trousers, turned up for the rain" (Jones) and in their leafy fastnesses . , ""A small bird twittered, twinkfully triumphant" (Brown) while a grasshopper, with hlndlegs of catgut, "Provided the music for its own hops" (Robinson). It was indeed a beautiful morning, and there really seemed pos sibility that it wouldn't rain after all, " K(Tae continuation of Mr, McGfnnts' thrilling story wjll appear on Hy FONTAINE 9 y - r. f sS Va4f atOnAX WUCU 1ii $ 1 u rv rt ir, 3PPBK STOPPED THE -CAlli AND KVSHZD OVE TO Pt Wr 1 lV'f Wt ww-.r, , v ffAlkKOAD IT TUKKD OUT TQs'A A MGE n?C&, WfllCH THE &QSI& :aJ,.V'.A.i..i.;4, Ij,HvW iBW'fai wf...w.nTiJ..u fr. - ,v. ! ... -.., . h.
