laundering along through mountains and
valleys when a little yellow dog appeared
on the scene. The dog was bent upon
catching the train. You never saw little
yellow dog run faster than that little
yellow dog ran. An old man who had
looked intently upon the chase the yellow
dog was making. finally turned to my
friend. and. with bewildered look. ask
