across the Policeman log. And in

Lucky stopped the Luckysnowbile
just in time, for IL he hadn't he
might have run over the Policeman

rabbit smiled at tho Policeman Dog
and gave him a ten carrot dollar bill
and lettuce cent aud cabbage leaf

pleased the Policeman Dog so much
that he let him go faster than be-

was so far away that ne couldn't see

it was just as well, for he was
