A man pursued a wicked way.
The way was wicked because it ran
along and always kept a little in front
Of the man so that he couldn't catch it.
But the man smiled.

And when they reached the horizon an
idea seized him. He seized the horizon and
grabbed the road and tied them up in a
hard knot
"Foiedr cried the man triumphantly.
And he went and bought cents worth
While he was thinking about it,
A man was good.
And he went amidst a great crowd.

And all the people gazed. "Ah," they said,
here is one who is goodn'
And one came who was not good, and
he went amidst the crowd. Look" he
cried, as had the other, Il am badT'
And all the people gazed again. "See,"
they said, "he is bad"
And they wondered
And one heard of this and he smiled
and went forth into the crowd.
Behold" he cried triumphantly, Il am
both good and bad!'
And he looked around.
But the people went away.
"Bahr they said.
He wasn't the whole population. He
could be counted.
Gold" he groaned.
And he lay with anguished, bloodshot
eyes. agape, moaning, helpless, wretched.
His head lay on soft pillows. He heard
the sound of the drill and the pick, but he
could move not
He groaned several times in rapid sue

BUT the man choked him with a rubber
dam, filed the molar tooth and charged
him the price of a Klondike claim for do
