"Too burned Slow"

No use! With an easy leap Shebec
had achieved the step. Then he
looked behind him and saw that the
police flivver was making better time
than the street car.
You're too burned slow" said he to
the conductor-and Off he jumped. The
particular section of the metropolis
into which the ancient leaped was a
bit populated. The abundant citlzenry
impeded his progress and made
straight running impossible. In the
zigzagging which ensued the fiIvver
had time to catch up and Shebec was
apprehended. In his pockets were
found twenty 81 bills and about S5 in
coins.
