He was particularly anxious that nene of Yhe constables should catch us speedâ€" ing, and cautioned us particularly about a trap just beyond Buckden. He told us that if we would look into the bushes on the left we would see the constables, and sure enough we discovered them, first one and about three hundred yards further on another, and a third still farther up the road ready to step out and stop us in case he had been signaled to do so by the other two. A word to the wise had been sufficient, and we passed the trap at such a snail‘s pace that even the constables themselves had to return our sarcastic smile.â€"From "An Intimate Automobile Excursion," zel"nnk Presbrey, in the Outing Magaâ€" for March.

When the house was smouldering the old lady called Sam, and pointed to a place where the fire had been the hottest, and ordered him to take a long handled rake and dig into the coals.
