to stop the Trans-American OF all
trains!--to go shopping OF all things!
He stormed into the smoking room
to open the safety valve of his wrath,
and found the porter just coming out

ing the door OF the buffet open. The
conductor paused to close it, glanced
in, started, stared, glared, roared;

smuggled in here! III break that
coon's head Come out of there, you

the increduous Snoozleums by the
scruff of his neck, growing, It's you

dashed out with his prey, just as Nal

Martorie's character, spoke across

folded arms:

She silenced him with snap:

her, and she asked anxiously: Where
