1t was just then that Britt made his
second mistake. He breathed too
deeply. True. he was blown sadly by
the desperate struggle as he hung
headdown from the vehicle and his
lungs had almost stopped working
when he was icrked so violently back
into the carriage. The air near the
floor was cool and refreshing. No
ordinary man would have hesitated to
renew his strength by drawing it as
far down into his lungs as the cramped
position would permit; but Britt him

observed sagely that air itself was not
always an unmiXcd blessing He
would have told inquiring minds that,
under suspicious circumstances, it

Britt breathed was mixed with a sub
tie something that gradually stole his
senses and left him, though healthily
alive, an inert heap under the feet of
his captors.
SO potent, so gentle was the action
OF that strange something that the
stoppage of the carriage, the lifting
from its floor of the inanimate detec-

railroad called.
I'VE understand, of course, that
the deceased was a very docile and
valuable ANIMAL" said the claim
agent in his most persuasive claim
agentlemanly manner, and we
sympathize with you and your fam
lily in your loss. But, Mr.. Olsen, you
must remember this: Your COW had
no business being upon our tracks.
Those tracks are our private prop
erty and when she invaded them she
became trespasser Technically
speaking, you, as her owner, became
trespasser also. But we have no
desire to carry the issue into court
and possibly give you trouble. Now
then what would you regard as
fair settlement between you and the
railroad company"
