have it forwarded as addressed without delay. He
then collected the drayage, and informed the agent
that the person sending it would call round, pay

along towards its destination and in due time landed
it in Louisville. Here it hastened over to JEFF

another change of cars was necessary, and as the
box was hastily rolled from the Jacksonville to the
Cincinnati and st. Louis train the top accidentally
came off, and out popped-What? For the life of

up so that he was head downward, and thus he
