Cy Hotklns ,Oets Consldderabbly Bung-ad Up by a Party of Otto mobcclars Bkaas He Went Oct Oatca th ' Road, Serves Him Right,' Says Some, but Read It Yourself: ' ' . ' Cy Hotkins, known - throughout ' the Co. as the nighett man in Bingville, give an cxibithion of bis nighneas at a inoppertuue time tother afternoon, and m consekwence got a hammering that filled im with sickness snd ditgutt from parties that some people choose to refer to at fiendt in- human form and that other people refer to as publick bene-fackters. ' The parties that lambasted Cy wat in a ottomobeel that come afluking down the road that leadt through the Hollow. We ain't overparthial to ottomobeelt ourtelft, being at how they raise the dust dretful, and don't hav no more retpeckt for a boddy't feeling! than all get oat and we don't hesatate'to say to. Jest the tame, w don't know but whit the parties in thit ottomobeel done just right, at we have often felt the tame way towards Cy as they must of felt . . , . Well,' anyway, Cy wss driving down the. Hollow road, settin straight up in the tniddel of hit teat at -he alwayt does on acc't of being afraid that someone some-one will atk him for a ride if he sets to one side, when alt of a suddint a ottomobeel come scooting around the corner behind Cy and commenced to toot and toot its horn. i ' Of course Cy heard the ottomobeel before it begun to toot, , but h wat feeling rta mean, the -way he always does, and he druv right on occupying the egsackt center of the road, so at to prevent the ottomobeel from gettin' by, there being no reason for said acktiont on the part of Cy, but he jett being annoid bckaute the peeple in the ottomobeel otto-mobeel wat able and willin to scoot past him' in a 'second and make him chaw dust for a tpelL The peeple in the ottomobeel ' they tooted and tooted continuous, but Cy he woldn't look round and kept ngnt on fillin' up the middel of the road. All of a sudden the ottomobeel stopped tootin, and the first thing Cy knew, a littel feller with tpandy spick cloet, had lepped up en the ttep of hit carridge; and had grabbed the .rains. Hey, you old fool, yelled the littel feller, fel-ler, why 1 in thunderashion don't you behave like a growed up feller instead of a littel child, and git over, to one side of 'the road so't we can git by? And to saying! he give the rains a yank, and the hot turned out Cy. he wat whhenad. Dog-rat your gol-blamed hide, he yelled to the littel feller in hit meanett voice, I'll leapt you to come around here with your nasty ottomobeelt. And with that Cy he made a grab for the whip and started to give the teller a cut. But all of - a suddint. befoar Cy could bring the whip down, the little feller teem to rix right up in the air. He grabbed Cy by the coat and yanked him outen the teat of hit carridge and broke -hit whip and dutted Cy up and down in the road and pulled hit whiskers and then slatted him back in hit carridge teat with such a tlam that Cy't false teeth dropped out of hit mouth and fell into the road. There, yon blamed old rip he said I guett that'll teach you t ackt like a man instead of a mewl. And the next minnit Cy heard the ottomobeel scoot by snd in another minnit min-nit they wasn't annything in tight ek-sept ek-sept a littel dust hanging low on the horyzon, so to speak, . |
