strong mans wrists. Running away, they
are the despair Of strong men. If you find
that you have puller, your play is not to
pit your pulling powers against his, but to

One word more before going on to the

blanket over his loins. He will think he IS

staid old family horse. Cab horses always
| stand unhitched by reason of employment

to leave your wife alone in the Tunabout

| pose her to any possible danger, remember
