and thought it was another horse squirt

held her back with steam windlass.
She just laid back her ears and snorted
along like a twenty-inch shell. The
passengers began to get excited. They
rushed out on the platform and began
to make bets. The conductor stood up
on the seat and began to sell pools. The
engineer pulled the throttle valve wide
open, and tore along at nin1Sy-tive
miles an hour. Soon the mare was
