1t had just stopped raining and the
asphalt was slippery. In addition,
there is quite a down grade at Cedar
street, where the sudden drop of mer-
curry took place. SO when he struck
the roadway he kept on going tobog-

hands and feet being used as brakes.
When the Roadway finally was
checked, the messenger boy arose,
slowly and sadly. His once natty
blue uniform was a finished study
