At last they were informed that unless
they departed very suddenly the gaso-
line spanking machine in the coal chute
would be set in motion, and they would
be treated to allopathic doses OF the
same, which suggestion they quickly
adopted and made themselves scarce at
once.

along Gut BaEk. 1.-the of form, with
