into town he was green, quite

that the horses hitched along the
curb used to nip at him, under

knowledge of business traffic
went, he couldn't telephone from

a few days to enable him to get
used to his surroundings, Floyd
became gentled to such degree
that he would stand without
hitching, and gradually was IN.
