"I am very much obliged to you, in the bargain," he went on. "So am I!" added Mr. Harrison. "I can get my train now, and it's a satisfaction to know that the scenes are completed." "Oh, it was fun!" laughed Alice. "I liked it, too," confessed Ruth.
A musing look was on the face of the manager. Miss Dixon saw it, and arose. "I am perfectly able to go on, Mr. Pertell," she said, quickly. "There is no need of getting anyone in my place." She walked across the room, with a slight limp, and the spasm of pain that showed on her face was quickly replaced by a smile. But it was an obvious effort.

Certain horses, trained for the work, would stumble and fall, going down with those who rode them, the men having learned how to roll out of the way without getting a broken arm or leg.
