A travelling salesman for a Ganse

landed me in the town that morning
from his car and ! had sold goods
enough to pay the expenses of the
trip.
We'll. l got away DC the sorriest
specimen of horse ever straddled,

cover the distance-I was sorry

| nodded to the grin, and the prison
er called to me:
Say. mister he said, how'd you
like to trade that critter for 30 days
In jail?'
Just then would have been glad
enough to have traded. but the law
