This alarming announcements d.es not

arms sweep it back and bind it, and
finally the fat bundles being tossed

his father was leaning over to look
more closely at some of the machinery,
Oft tumbled the little fellow OIL the con-

father tried vainly to stop the horses,
but before he could even slack the speed
the boy had been driven up through the
elevator canvas with half bundle of
wheat, the binding Irvine had twisted
swiftly around his neck and legs, and
he was rolled out OH the wide carrier.

was almost choked, and there was O
