When a few Htiles from town, the conductor went oart on the rear platform and when Tison saw him, he decided that his rofjn was more welcome than his com- {jarry,-so without thought as to the manner of his goiiig, he tool< “French leant.” Flying was not so bad, but as Tisen failed to pick out a sort spot to land, he is not very favorably impressed with the modern method of travel. Whex packed up bv the train crew he was uDOODscious, but «n his arrival at Barnwell was all right except that his head hurl z little. He was put in a hack axud sect home, a ladder but a wiser lad. How he escaped death is one of the miraclee of modern times. Mrs. J—r» R. Dvuibar.
