3. THE HOUNCY, BOUNDER

Té isn’t that he bounds so much as he
bounces. That’s his main occupation.
He never tires of it, morning noon or
night—and its odds on-he does it in his
dreams.

I tumbled across it thisaway. Solo-
mon (my private secretary and bottle-
washer) had gone out to catch a musk
rat because hia sister wanted its skin.
That’s what he said, but that’s gam-
mon. Young fellows think about other
chaps’ sisters and not their own.

Kowsomever (as Tommy Johnson said
when he wanted to point a moral)
Solomon had outstayed his leave and I
began to think a skookum muskrat had
sure turned the tables and gone off
with ‘a private, secretary without first
setting down his salary.

So I toddied out and faced up the
wind. Eh, but it was fine going and I
had half forgiven bottlewasher, I was
enjoying the glorious weather so.

‘Suddenly I hove upon a shack. that
looked awful sick. Seemed as if it had
displaced its spine with retching.

It veiled its blotchy face with a min-
iature verandah, upon which, seated in
high state, ala ‘‘monarch of all he
surveyed’? was a ken-speckled son-of-
4-fUn.

az he set eyes on me, “come-over here
and rest a bit, Retcha tired,’’

“Qut o’ touch,’’ 1 rapped back, ‘still
I don’t mind a little confab,’’

“Goin' fishin'?’’ was his first shot,
but it was only a bow ata venture to
open up the lead.

“‘Bad guess,'’ I retorted.
rod, line or net?”

“Some o’ them carry a line in their

pocket,”’ he grunted.

“I ain’t one of them, cause I ain nt
gotaline. I’m just Jookin’ for Solo-
mon, ”

Up he bounded asif a wasp had stung
him, and he glared at me as though he
thought me a lunatic or a cannibal or
some other pleasant creature of that
sort. ,

“Him’s dead a many a year,"-he said
nervously, ‘“‘but never mind, 1’ll show
ye somethin’ better’n Solomon ever
could, Comeonin.’’ Andin I went as
And I
haven’t got the tinkle of his bumptious
houncing out of my ears yet,

‘Look at this,’’ he said, taking me
to a fine bed of lettuce. ‘Seen any as
food's that, this year?’’ —,

I confessed I hadn’t.

“TI allus grows it like that,’* he anid
—but just then a brawny woman peep-
ed out of a woodshed,

**Naw, then, ye don’t,’’ she yelled at
Bounder. ‘‘It’s you as knows ye never
put finger to’t, I raised that out of a
ten cent packet o’ seed,.an’ ye miser-
able sinner ye wouldn’t gie me the ten
cerits,’’

“Come this way,’’ he whispered, ane
shuffled off hurriedly.
like those on a two-year-old tree?
Aren’t they dandy?”’

‘*You betcha, I should have thought
that tree was ten years old.’’

‘Nobody can grow them that way
but myself,’ he warbled, -£'There’s an

bushes. Betcha never. geen anything
like them."’

“Never,” I murmured,

“There's just a bit over half an acre
there. Know what I got off’n them
last year? But ye couldn't guess. I
got 900 crates—solid truth.’’

“Wonderful,’? I found myself saying
“Who'd have thought it?” -And thenI
woke up and dropped in a little ques-
tion—‘'Guess you got good prices, eh?’’

“Reckon them .berries brought six
dollars a erate,’’ he replied.

“'Goldarn it,’’ I said to myself, “Why
does he live in a little knock-kneed
shack, then. Sure he should have a
mansion.’

Just then I saw Solomon! 8 mop up
the trail, and as I departed hastily the
Bounder was expatiating on the un-
earthly magnificence of his loganber-
ries—but IJ noticed his overalls had
apparently been well ventilated for
along time. ~ ;

Horrible, Horrible .

The statistics editor lay slumped
across his desk with his head in his
arms. Great sobs wracked his system
and the while groans issued from the
abject pile. The compassionate eye of
of the editor-in-chief rested on the
pitiful form and in those kindly aecenta
which are the main characteristic of
that great man, inquired the reason of
such grief.

**Boo-hoo, boo-hoo-hoo,'’ was his only
reply until he tactfully poked a pay-
check undér tha nose of his subordinate,
who, astounded, and amid his sobs, bro-
kenly unfolded the reason of his anguish.

“Woe is me, woe is——”’

“Whoa is right!’ interjected the
bess, ‘Back up and start again.”’

Every time a stranger walks scross the
high level bridge he throws a stone
over (sob) and I estimate that in one
million two thousand and eighty years
the canyon will be so plumb full of
rocks that the river will back up -high
enough to flood George Parent’s ranch.
Boo-hoo-hoo.’”
