If he lad been made of gelatin and had been left out in the dew overnight, he could not have been limper than he. was one moment after jointed man could be when he really tried, and he was as limp as that. and sorry he could not be

She started just any COW would start --only faster-and travelled just as any COW would and going ir unstudied leaps The first time the yoiee a l sportsman M ~ would ssy but she thought
 By she, I mean the COW. An aeroplane is "she" a1so and when both a COW and an aeroplane are mentioned they are apt to get mixed up. but Mr travelled tandem; first the COW, and then the aero the motor M would skip E.

It is wonderful how quickly a com mon red COW that has done anything but Flow" "moo," can learn to grunt under press of crcumstances. s@.. she thought something was the matter with the motor, and she was very busy.
