How He Made the Distance from wyaa- |
 dotte Co Trenton.
 If any one wants to go from Wy. andotte to Trenton ahead of train 1 time would reocomcnd him to Gus Baumler. Gus Baumlcr keepsa run, ming horse with which he ferries through Wayne county mud people who are in a hurry. Gus driver had ] me pretty we'll under way for Tren- 2 ton before l realized that had start. d. was also under heavy fire ot mud from the heels of Gus Baum lerAs running horse.
 Whoa. Bill. Darn your skin. I'd jest like to take little of 1t out of you,n said the driver Bill looked like an accordion horse. He had his neck up from the first jump. and when the driver pulled with al his might on the lines Bill humpea his back like an angry cat. He was a
 fine looking herse, with clean hmbs when washed, lot of nervous bull headelness and high, proud head.
 He's q fiier. said the driver.
 He is, chi Has he ever flown
 with vouf' I asked
 "Yes, you bet he has. Steady,
 Bill whoa, darn youi I'll knock 1t
 out of you in a minutela
 Say. hold i'm down. ! said. T never flew anywhere. I'd rather go
 on run or trot.
 Just then a railroad engine belched
 a cloud of black smoke out of it's stack about hundred yards away.
 Bill stopped so short that l nearly took a header. The driver quickly Il wrapped the lines around his hands, and holding tight rein kept his F eye on Bills ears
 f There's a funny thing about q , horse's ears. He can turn them 1T ! any direction, like tunnels on :
 steamship.
 Bill stood just 2 second or tw'
 shivering with fright or cussedness
 Then he leaped sideways into th' 7 air. Look out--he's going to fly $ I yelled.
 f sI can hold him, said the driver |. However, be appeared to mo to b Q too self confident,
 d Bill danced along sideways and aI l. peared about to vault the diteh ie The train pulled down toward u: ss and at every puff of the engine Bill le front feet went up in the air. ir Say" I asked, do you think D X con1d turnp the fence with the bugg ID and not hurt usi
 ye .BillIn yelled the driver, and fC it the next minute Bill received GUS V, ing that expected to sec him klc ut on. He had made final atteml IT. to 20 over the ditch sideways. nd "Tu get out so he won't have d. heavy a load to jump the fen. to with, I suggested. I'll get ID aga
 on the other side.
 ssI can hold him, declared u
 driver in a mezzo voice. He new Lse ran away with me but once. He's es, mean beggar. He can go, thoug IS He's gone in 0:5S. ? al I began to wish he had gone in ly or some other year earlier than II Lg time. lll- But the engine had now fallen ke- 6ttle behind Bill and he show gh signs of a desire to go ahead T 0n, driver eased of an inch on the llr ion and BTl made a clean standing jur re, of about twenty feet He We he along kangaroo fashion until [ m- driver eased of several inches sh- the lines and then dropped into t a easv canter. The driver still h.
 his chin down pretty close to
 neck but his hack was bumped
 good deal. In few minutes cry drew near to a carriage containi 'ell- two men driving a trotting hoi lid sCome on f7 yelled one of the m 'urs utalce a little of our mud Cos yht- said my driver, with a broad g ade If I let Bill straighten his back up those fellows wouldn't know W lext went by 'ern. d a .Tet i'm straighten it, l s 'ork with sudden desperation.
