comes possessed with a desire to take
the world by the neck and choke 1t to
death. That's how he felt today when

behind its master Hinson didn't like
the dogs expression, so he pulled its
tail. The dog snapped at the negro's
fingers but missed. Hinson pulled the
tail again. The man, who was OF very
quiet demeanor, told the negro to for
get it." Hinson laughed I'm his face and
