In good time, long before the sun gave token of setting, they arrived in town; and Bud was made happy in seeing his precious miniature flier safely deposited at his own door. He still had the look of one whose mind was soaring away up in the clouds and Hugh did not have the heart to disillusion him just then.
Well, it's no engagement at the Good Luck Dance Hall yonder, you can bet on that. The fact is I've quit the business, and am going to take a flier in mining." "Mining?

Honest, sometimes I think I'd rather spend the summer under the daisies out on the hill than down here in this basement." "Don't I wish I had an auto to take you spinning in to-night." "You ought to see the flier a friend of mine has got. A Mercury Six with a limousine top like a grand-opera box." "Your your friend?" "Yes.
