Then the real circus began. Such as
had not already given all their flowers
to the hero began to throw them at him
with :utih peculiarity of aim that the
‘socom cons passengers were prooentlv
decked out in beautiful floral array.
Conepicuonsln the crowd on the dock
were three young and pretty girls,
whose enthusiasm was of the wildly ef-
fervescent kind. ‘ They were full of
ejaculatiousnud oxeluuiutions. and their
adjectives would have fitted out a no-

was when they ware throwing kisses at
their idol. .
"Oh. girls." said the tallest one,

"He shook hands with me," said one
of her companions proudly. “I put my

andl won‘t take it off until—until—
well, until I have to wash it; so,
there."
“He didn't shake hands with me but I
got‘ his autograph." said the third. a
trim brunette: "and such a smile with
it! 'Oh. it just did make my heart flut-

”Do you o'poso.” inquired the first.
"that our fathers would quite like it if
they know we had gone on board and
spoken to hint?"
"Mine wouldn't, I'm euro,” frankly

Henry was not to be blotted. Ono olrl
hull was particularly puguueious. and
insisted upon making life n burden for

at tho mustang were avoided by the
sensible animal with dispatch.
A bulldog belonging to Mr. Hohit

The dog appeared to realize the pool

turned his attention from the born to

which the dog gave one of the prettiest
exhibitions of racing ever witnessed.
While the hull was engaged in follow-
