Well, Goorgo started down into the

in Judge Dailey’s court, tlue other
day, wearing his stove-pipe heaver
and riding a little India!) pony, and
hud got as far down into tho “low
grounds of sorrow” as Wiley Hul-
sey’s flat, when dark overlook him.
It was^Very dark there. Anon two
country lads came that way, running
a mulo race, and had their animals
at the top of their metal, and ns it
was yory dark they did not see;
George and his little pony, and so
ran squaro into him, and knocked
him into a moss of pi. George
picked liimsolf up about a rod from
tho road, and began to scatter yo
nervous Saxon about there in the
darkness so vigorously that tho two
young grangers, who had stopped
to npologizo, thought they had hot-
ter shove—and they shoved. Tho
pony was knocked to such a distanco
that George never saw him after-
wards. Goorgo thinks it is a-cloar
case ot mulibus nomemibm!
