He Caught On.
They were riding out in the suburbs — he the bashful youth and she the fair maiden who had been out riding before. She fidgeted awhile and then said, "Oh, Charley, I'm so afraid I will fall out." "No danger. The road is as level as a floor." "That may be, but I feel all the time just as though I would go overboard." Then she let out a timid little scream, and he grasped her firmly and said: "Don't tumble. I'll hold you." "There," she said, "you took a tumble at laafc, but I had to threaten to take one myself before you caught .on." And after that she was held as securely as though tied tcrthe seat with the hitching strap.- '".- ""_ .; _ ~
