his father in its clutches. ran off ono
end OF the little unrailed bridge ut the
foot OF the slope and dropped into the
gully. The cry that Mr.. Lazen berry
uttered rs they went over the brink
was surprisingly energetic one for
man who had had the aguc so long.
Upon investigation the invention
was found TO be badly wrecked, but for
tunately Mr.. Lazenberry had received
nothing worse than a severe shaking

veptor was well-nigh shattered.
