What Might Have Stopped Her.

Robert had spent much of his summer in his father's new car, and was quite well versed in automobile terms. About seven o’clock one night a friend telephoned she was coming over to spend the evening. She lived only six blocks away, and, as always, would walk. But by 8:30 she had not arrived, although we knew she had started, for her mother had telephoned to speak to her, thinking she was at* our house. “1 thought that girl was coming over here tonight,” remarked Robert, playing on the floor at my feet. “I’m afraid she isn’t coming,” ! said ; “she must have stopped somewhere on the way.” < “I guess she had a puncture,” said Robert, casually.—ChicagohTribufte.
