an energetic swing to the shoulders.

4 mix up between the Blinn Lumber

wheel. a wrecked bed and various and
sundry other disasters. Having accom-
plished this much damage an ordinary
horse would have been satisfied but
the colt being an ambitious animal
started in to clear up the delivery
wagon at the same time. The way it
kicked was a caution to behold but
Sharliey was game and stayed with
the ship, though he was in momentary
danger of being hurt by the colts fly
