Some of these mountains passes are very

in such places the rule of the road was

he met an old gentleman driving along
leisurely in his gig, Dave determined tc
have some fun at his expense, Higl

to head Dave said to the old gentleman

you do not intend to take advantage o

Dave stepped forward with his heavl
