venport sat upon the floor, the
chalk dust flew, as flies the water,
when from some scraggy height
a boulder slips from its seat and
dashes into the murmering
stream far, far below. And it
didn't hurt his pants either.

breathed free again. when the
rafters trembled and the street
lamps shut up their sleepy eyes.
John Strawn was at work. Jim

and as he watched the gallant
rail :, roader pounding sway,
wiped a tear. of joy from his eye
and whispered, the Hooking Val

marked that such loud thunder
was unusual in March. But if
