I saw a cloud of white dust down the road nothing more, but the station-agent, with a certainty born of long experience, shouted encouragingly: "Thar she comes!" and presently I found myself in a large, sombre and warm conveyance, very like the wagon known to the New York populace familiarly, if not fondly, as "the Black Maria."

I heard Wagner say that three would be taken on the team for the sprints, and even if you come in last you'll be sure of a place." "I don't know. I don't want to come in last."
