"Aw, he was only telegraphing to Gresham an' Jones for some sody water syrups." "Where'd he get the money?" There's fine scorn in Roland's comment. "I dunno, but he handed Lew a five-dollar bill to pay for the message." "Well, if Sam Graham's got any money he'd better hold on to it, instead of buying sody-water syrups. I guess Blinky Lockwood'll get after him when he finds it out.

The consumption of vanilly sody in those two days broke all known Radville records, and stands a singular tribute to the Spartan fortitude of Radville womanhood, particularly the young strata thereof. Duncan, after he had succeeded in taming the fountain, seemed rather to enjoy than object to dispensing sody, standing inspection and receiving adulation and nickels in unequal proportions.

"Oh, I guess that won't hurt," admitted Tom, and a little later they had lined up before a crossroads grocery, in front of which was the magical sign: "Ice Cold Soda!" "Ginger ale! Birch beer! Sasp'rilla! Cream sody!" rattled off the snub-nosed and freckle-faced lad behind the counter, when our four friends filed in and asked for some cool drink. "That's all I've got."

Honest, though, I think the hardest was when the news came that you was alive, Al. I I just wanted to start in and celebrate. Wanted to whoop her up, I did." He paused a moment and then added, "I tried whoopin' on sass'parilla and vanilla sody, but 'twa'n't satisfactory. Couldn't seem to raise a real loud whisper, let alone a whoop.

"Madge, can't you do nothin' fer our friend the Indian? Can't you even help him to sody?" "Oh, perhaps," she answered with the slightest flash from her tired eyes. Then she nonchalantly lifted Mellin's replenished glass from the table and drained it.

"I believe I'll have a glass of sody." "Certainly." Duncan, by now habituated to the formulae of soda dispensing, promptly produced a bright and shining glass. "I see you've been fixin' this place up some." "Oh, yes," said Nat loftily. "We expect to have the best drugstore in the State.

"An' he lived a long time after, did Miss Fanny, to die in his bed o' some nice, fine disease, wi' his fambly an' his Scotch an' sody gathered about him.

"Look here, Mother, you're not using old canned goods that have been left over?" The old negress stood looking at him in silence, but lost her coaxing expression.

She went away through the side-door, opening and shutting it with meticulous care, so that it would not make a sound. . . . As though a sound could reach Cousin Hetty now! "I don't like her biscuits," said Agnes. "She always puts too much sody in."

Th' man that has a machine that'll tur-rn out three hundhred thousan' toothpicks ivry minyit'll sind over his inthrestin' device, they'll be mountains iv infant food an' canned prunes, an' pickle casters, an' pants, an' boots, an' shoes an' paintin's. They'll be all th' wondhers iv modhern science. Ye can see how shirts ar-re made, an' what gives life to th' sody fountain.
