the pie and generously offered the

footsteps on the pavement. Mr.. Bing's
retreat was not, however quite swift
enough to save him. The pie landed
on his shoulder. In moment, Hiram
was arrested and marching toward
the lookup while Mr.. Bling went to
the nearest drug store to be cleaned
and secured.
