Whims.

The city man who was summering in the country was lounging at a little station on an interurban line. ▲long came a seedy pilgrim walking up the track. "My friend," said the city man, “do you expect to hoof it to the next station?" “Sure.” "How far is it?!’ “ ’Bout six •miles.” “What’s the fare from here there?” “Fifteen cents, I reckon.” "Car coming pretty soon?” "Yep.” “Well, just to gratify a whim, suppose you let me lend you money enough to pay your sere to that station.” *■ “That’s all right, boss.” “I haven’t the change. Here’s a quarter.” “Thanks. Now, boss,” said the seedy wayfarer, “jes’ to gratify a whim, I’m goln* to keep on hoofin’ it. Goodby.”
