THE ROAD TERROR.

Whon your engine's humming swootly and the road is smooth as

And you'ro naturally tempted to be stopping on the gar, And you lot her out a little"-up to forty-five or so, Just to test the motor's action when you really lot her go, Then-you hour a sudden racket and a "pop pop! pop! pop! pop!**

And you've gotta slow to twenty-it's the Motorcycle Cop.

I suppone his wife may love him, and perhaps his children do, And I'm able to imaginu that he has a friend or two,

But I'll bot ho keeps it secret what his job is-if he can, - ». And they think he's just a stick-up or a second-story man, For his family's affection would be sure to take a drop If they know he made his living us a Motaroycio Copl

What's the use of miking ongings with unmitigated power,

Which will shoot along the highway at some eighty milos an

hour,

If this bird upon his cycle spoils your pleasure as you drive, Swooping on you with a summons when you better thirty-five? Is there any sound more vicious than that "pop papipop! pop pop!"

As you hear the motorcycle of the Motorcyle Cop?

That's about ouough of jesting: for the fact is, as a rule,

That the only mun hn's after is the drunkard or the fool.

If your pace is sane and steady, if you drive with sense and
