particular species Of the cat family
should be so peculiarly marked Is a
mystery which is not accounted for In
anything but the Manx legend Of the
first of the tailless. and then the mys-
terry is not entirely cleared up.

to every man, woman and child on the

folding was no better. Boards and
whips availed nothing. A thought
struck one of the men which proved
very helpful. Tie suggested a rope
be tied TO a front foot. Men took
hold of the cope and all the mule
pulling one can imagine occurred
there within q short time, but the
problem was solved and the mules
became as meek as lambs when once
aboard.
