Old Grange Store Stand.

At least twenty minutes had been ex.
pended in fruitless efforts to make the
stubborn horse move. Hitched to a
bulky delivery wagon, he stood di-
rectly in the pathway of traffic at the
crowded corner of Sixth avenue and
Fourteenth street. The animal was
large, apparently well fed and not
overworked. There were no evidences
of disability: it was simply a case of
balk.
The driver had exhausted his per-

seat: the half dozen men who had been
