a descending broad fight of stairs, the steps
being about six inches high and fourteen
wide; its total length was seventy feet and
the highest step thirty-iye feet from the

Down these stairs he rode on a safety BIZ

the hearts of all the ladies' present to almo st

shipped the small wheel and handles from
