min around tn country in wan iv thin
autymobills."
1T must that" said Mr.. Dooley.
TITS tn gran sport entirely. Mex
to a naygro agitator in Georgia,
don't suppose amy man gets as much
excitement out iv a snort life as a
millionaire who owns an autymobill.
Firm all I can larn about it firm tn
pa-apers, a MILLIONAIRE with an auty-
mobil is constantly steerin' between
tn county Jail an tn poor-house. If
tn polls don't land him in wan, tn
autymobill will in tn other
"Whin Algernon's father dies LAWN
him tn money iv tn widow an tn
orphan, Algernon brushes a tear firm
his eye an hurries over to Paris to
get an autymobill. Father used to go
down town in bus fgurin' Interest on
his cuffs, but there is nawthin' FIR
Algy but an eighty red
diVvle thatll make tn demon haste
wagon iV his frind mex dure look like
mud scow. AN he buys wan an
with it Fr-rinch shower He calls
III oHONSI fIdISDdW, an tn shower
calls him Canal He is naughty
fireman this la-ad, FIR he is a discindant
iv Louis Flip an tn blood iv kings
coorses in his veins. He soon teaches
Algernon his place which is undher
tn autymobill fixin' up a busted valve
an afther that Algernon niver speaks
to F'ranswaw onless he is spoken to
an FraWsWaw niVer speaks undher an
ny circumstances. Algernon turns over
his property to him to buy tires an
resigns himsilf to life iv pleasure.
He has it while tn autymobill is in
tn masheen shop haVin' a few repairs
put into it. But wan day all is r-readv
Algernon asks Franswaw if he NAV 90
fr spin an Franswaw motions him
into tn seat iv honor beside tn shower.
Now they're off! Look at thin dash
through TIL crowded sthreets where tn
happy childher iv tn tinimints ARE at
play. How glad tn childher ARE to
see thin. Especially that little boy
with tn golden locks. See he has a
turnip in his hand. Look look! he is
goin to give it to Algy. He gives it
to him just back iv tn ear. See those
gintlemen comm out iv a saloon. How
proud they ARE to meet Afternoon.

They ar-re actually goin' to give AL
gernon tn fright iv way He gets it
in tn small iv tn back. What ARE
those pretty little girls doin'? They
ARE sthreWin' something in tn
9hreet. Are they sthrewin' roses
f'r AlgernOn? No, they ARE sthrew-
IN lacks. What is that explosion und-
her tn car followed be a cry iv Get a
moss Algernon's tires have reached tn
tacks. Are tn little girls happv?
They ARE indeed. They ARE lauebin'
an THROWN coal into Algy's lap. Who
is this who comes r-runnin' out iv a. sa-
loon atm a Glove? 1t is an officer iv
IN law. Why does he seize Algernon
be tn hair an dhrag him firm tn car?
