the "gee" and then on the shaw" ran the
horse over the curbstone and twisted around
a tree, and she got into the street again
she upset swill clrt with the of wheels
and went her way with serene cOuntenance-
When she reached the avenue she was fuss

long turn. There was a street car passing,
and the driver hadn't put on the brake

with both hands, tod Dobbin to "git up"
and finally got away on straight line, on
the wrong side of the street, of course. A
brick team crowded her into the curbstone,
but the smile never left her face. A milk

Down az the next street three men stood
