near PocoyokA City he employs the
most advanced \and approved methods
and machinery. \While experimenting

in such extremity, succeeded in slipping
out of his coat just as the greedy cog
wheel was about to claim its human
victim. Mr.. McMaster's arm was graZ,.d
by the cogs, but otherwise he escaped
unframed.
