BUT THEY RODE.
(Published by Request.) —
iLast spring when cotton
AVas selling so high,
You could see some farmers
“Floating” in the sky,
(but they Rode!)
They rode in sun,
They rode in the rain,
N J>ome even rode
In an aeroplane,
(Rut they Rode!)
They rode all night,

They rode all day,
They kept on riding
“Till the devil’s to pay,
(But they Rode!)
If it wasn.’t an auto,
It was a blame old mule,
They kept on “riding”,
Till they’ve cut the'fool,
(But they Rode!)
Some ’rode bad,
Some rode well, »
But they kept on “-iding”
’Till they’ve sure played h . , V

Some doctors spent the whole year
Distributing pills,
And can’t collect enough money
To pay their gasoline bill,
(But they Rode!)
The real estate business
Was the best of all;
But blame my skins, '
If it didn’t falf,
(But they Rode!)
Some bought Fords.
But carried them back,
And promised the difference .

Meanwhile Esther, who had been

tired of waiting for Ned to return
With his father and- a parental bless
ing. “I’ll just, stroll through the
lobby," sbe thought. “It may give me
something/ besides myself^to think,
about. Oh dear, if I cptOd 'only see
Ned’s father and talk to h)m, I am
sure he would forgive ni. Good gra

’‘Bald-headed, fidgety,” whispered
Esther, “I know that’s Ned’s father.
I am going 'to speak to him. Yes, I
am," defiantly, although no one
seemed inclined to oppose her. “I
beg yout pardon,” sbe began tremu
lously, “but is this Mr. Bnrtpn?”
“Yes, niadarne, my name Is Mer
ton,” replied the old gentleman tea-
tlly, peering at her over the top of
his gol<t-rlmmed spectacles.
“Oh,‘sir, please forgive us. Truly,
it was more my fault tbatl^ed’s.’-
“What—what—” blurted MT; Mer--

“Oh, I am your daughter, you know.
That is, your son—” Esther stopped,

Esther had been seized with stage
fright as the awful person of the ho
tel clerk met her shrinking gaze.
“Oh, Ned!” she gasped. ".lust a
minute! Just a minute ! They’re all
looking at us! Oh, I wish we hadn't—
No, 1 don’t. Qh dear, what will hap
pen to us if your father disow ns you?”
“Oh, I say, Esther, there's a good
girl! Don’t .cry—not here, anyway.
Father's a good old scout. He'll take
me back Into the office all right.
Their lingering .fddtstepa had at
last brought them before the desk, and
now the polite clerk was observing
them with a sort of detaehed inquiry.
Esther tremulously nudged her hus
band. .
"Oh—all- O, yes, the register,” ex-'
claimed Nad. Now—Orcnt—Scott!’'—~
the pen fell from his nerveless fingers.
“My fnthet;:”
“Where?" quavered Esther, looking
nervously over her shoulder. -
“Here, on the register. His name, I
mean. Look here. Esther. It’s a great
chance for us, if he ever sees you,
well, it’s all over 1 but the cheering. ’*
the door of the elevator closed
upon the eloping couple, an elderly
gentleman strolled up to the desk.
“Have,you by any chance—” then his
eyes fell upon the open register. "By
George, they're here!” His ’ eyes
twinkled. "Diln't know the young
vub had so much grit. I ran away
with the girl 1 loved. He's pretty
much like the old man, after all. Oh.
by the way,” to the clerk, “did Jou
ttapp^n to noticeBurton?”^-
“Ob, yea, sir,” the obliging clerk has
tened to explain. “Not very ^fll, air,
brown eyes, had a white feather In her
hat and—”
“Yes, air,” Interrupted Mr. Burtoe.
“Much obliged."
Smiling to himaelf, he f anted from
the deck, then stepped abruptly. What
luck I There she was right before him!
With a smile ami a bow, he ap
proached the girl, who stood watch
ing the elevator door with anxious
eyes. “I recognlxed you, instantly, my'
dear, and I—’’
“ ’My. .dear,’ Indeed J” Interrupted the
▼ery indignant young lady. “Why, you
old Ulrt, If you don’t—”
••But, my dear young lady, I am your
»ew father,” said the embarrassed Mr.
Burton. “I was looking for—”
