incidentally horse trading, and was 10

In his horse trades he had got stuck
on a vicious, kicking black mare, and

He had in mind q fair going on in q

Soon in the distance he sped gray

Although the gray looked somewhat thin,
he liked the looks Of it, 81 when they
came abreast he accost the driver,
who proved to be a Frenchman. and
asked him he would like to trade horses.
The Frenchman answered, "You like
gray Marco
ooh. yes; she looks all right"
"Well, you like him You take him. I
like black mare pretty well ! take him. "
So both climbed out, and the drummer
was very careful not to let the stranger
touch his horse, but took the harness of

careful with the gray.
Both clucked a 'Aer horses to drive
