There was a ‘‘shoe’’ on one of the rear wheels, such as is commonly used by stages in going down the mighty grades of the: Sierra Nevada; but the road was slippery with frost and this, appliance offered but little. resistance.

The horses were unhitched, and taken with the mail and express matter through to Bloomfield where another vehicle was procured.

Another wanted to know what author it was by, and guessed that it hadn’t reached the coast yet. After John had made the rounds of went home to confer with Mrs. John, and tell her of the fruitlessness of his mission. At this moment of supreme disappointment their six-year-old boy came running into the room exclaiming, ‘‘Mama, mama! ‘won’t you please get the Bible and read to me about Esther?” Mr. and Mrs. John were simultaneously struck with an idea. “T knew it all the time, but I just wanted to see how big a goose you would make of yourself,’ she remarked with a violent effort ‘at-a laugh. ‘And I was just trying) to find out how little you knew about literature,” he retorted. “Think you're smart, don’t you!’’ said she. “Tf I wasn’t smarter about such things than you areI’d join the infant class in the Sunday school !’’ said he, “You brute !’’ said she. ‘You Jezebel !’’ said he.
