A Lad, a Lassie, anil a Speeder. '
Sunday morning last, a city gent
of about 18 summers, who is rus
ticating at Beach Lake, hired a rig,
secured tho company of his best girl
and started on a trip to Honesdale.
Everything went smoothly until,
when within about two miles from
town, John gathered the whip and
reins firmly and "touched up" old
Bob. Now Bob Is an old-time track
nag and hasn't entirely forgotten'
his early training, and when tho
unexpected summons came, presto!
they were off! John was startled.
He pulled on the reins, shouted
"whoa!" pulled harder, but away
blithely skipped Robert. It took
but a short time to reach Mnln
street, nnd then he was just getting
down to his gait. The people, who
were returning from divine service,
were astonished and shocked at tho
reckless behavior of this stranger,
who with white and agitated face,
was leaning well forward and still
bravely endeavoring to pull tho
beast backward into the buggy.
The young lady, though evidently
not entirely composed, never uttered
a sound, but hung to the seat with
both hands. Whizz! and they
were lost in the dust nnd the dis
tance. At North Park, which is at
the further end of the borough, old
Bob weakened. Ho was tired and
covered with foam. The young man
climbed tremblingly down, turned
the outfit about and with both
hands on the bridle, led the llery
beast back to a hotel, where hostlers
were put to work upon his heaving
frame. "Nevah was so fyghtened In
me loife!" ejaculated the young
man, when he was told that if ho
hndn't "pulled" the nag he would
have been quiet enough. The young
lady smiled sardonically, as she
remarked: "Thought you knew nil
about horses, John." On the re
turn trip a staid and practical
.Honesdale nag hauled the buggy.

O'Connell entertained a number of
