there was no geowth for three weeks

and kicked him on the arm, with the re-

savage brute and had landed her heels
on more than one man prior to this,
consequently Mr. Prior usually kept
one trent foot tied up. Such was the
case on '(t ednceday, but even that did
not prevent her from doing the trick.
The blow did not knock Mr. Prior dower
and In order. to get out of the box stall
he was forced to climb over the front,
which he did with considerable dlfticul-
ty and walked to the house. A doctor
