 "Say, MT. Paul ain't no worse. He started out on me de odder day like taught I was stacked up against trouble, but things was comin my way, and wasn't onto 1t a little bit. Him and MT.

Let us get out of here. I'm | ruinin me dress.

 "Next 1t was dat Maggie what holleret murder. For de love of heaven, Chim mic, she yelled, T wonder you wouldn't put us In a den of snakes. Dere's toat crawlin up me legP

A de first yell de four folks all stops and get of dere wheels, and just as dey did d duchess and Maggie, lookin like circu riders, only wid leaves and sticks all owe 'em, flew over de wall and fell yellin wit fits right at his whiskers' feet.
 "De bull made for me. I seen I'd b done if didn't chase meself, so puts m hands on top of de wall t make jump when me foot caught in de wheels. Da was de chance for de bull, and he knowe' his business. He let me have 1t righ where it hurted de smallest, and went ul In. de air a mile wid de wheel fast t m leg.
