They wiped the blood from it's edges and

his brief farewell

Not morbid but manly mourning! Yet

the party started at A. NJ. They said
that the roads were fairly good, which
they were, just about. The car didn't
tip over backward once, but it stood
on its hind legs good part of the time
and it didn't sink out of sight in the
mud, not one time, although it quite
often went in to the axles. The day
was fine when they started, so no
chains were taken, later this oversight
