drivers condition. and reused him from slumber.
Here. get that mule OF yourn of the track" he

and then "A broad grin overspread his features.
"Tain't no use to try. boss" he answered; take
or notion ter stop. faint nothin' start her.
She gwine stay right plum whar she is"
The motorman did not stop to argue the PROPOSE
ton. He had probably had some experience with
mules on hot summer days: He returned to tho
car. removed the fender and then quiely released
the motor. The dared forwarded. struck the
wagon from tho rear, and mule wagon and driver
were carried forward several feet by the sudden
ness OF the charge. The animal prcked up its ears
Jumped 10 It's feet and made for the side OF the
