Then he noticed the pasty-faced
horseman STOPPING over the bleeding
man.
"Get i'm by the heels, you cross be-
tween corpse and mummy, and drag
him out of the way. We've bloody well
got to get this ship loaded to catch
the tide"
The pale-faced man kept on with his
examination without paying any atten-
ton to the foreman's instructions. The
foreman got blue In the face and bub-
bled over with rage.
"Do you hear what I tell you? Get
i'm out Of the way. This ship has got
to be loaded or I'll go down there and
pound some obedience into you"
The man still paid no attention. The
foreman was speechless. In few sec
onds the STOPPING man Strengthened up,
and looking the foreman straight in
the eye, calmly replied: "He's dead"
This did not seem to Tease the fore
man in the least and he beloved out

man answered simply: "Tm DOCTOR
Then the foreman once again explod-

what in HI are you doing on horse
ship? You ought to be rolling pills

look from the eye of the foreman. The
foreman was now like an enraged bull.
Splitting all over himself. he clustered
out: "Well, II he's dead, there Is no
doctor that can do him any good. A
couple o. you black skunks over there
addressing two negroes who were al
most blanched to blush white and
who were trembling near by. get

way" One of the negroes. with a
| leeering grin, replied: 81 shipped on
this here ship to handle bosses, and
don't allow nohow that It's my work
to tote corpses around"
i Just then the second foreman rushed
over, gave the negro push out OF the
way, and, grabbing the heels OF the
dead man, pulled him away from the
run. turned AWAY. sickened with
disgust. The foreman then took an
empty oat sack and spread II over the
bloody head.
Just then the changing bell of an am
bulance was heard and white-clothed
doctor, followed by two men with a
stretcher, pushed their way through
the crowd Of horses and horsemen.
They were accompanied by n police
man. The body was put Into the am

veterinarian, "Doc" Casey, by name
The foreman was talking. Snatches
