at that. :

The four men and one woman

then spring on the back of the
next pony that comes along;
ponies that march . and counter
march in single file, by twos, by

at any day. There were several
hundred watchers who would have
traded all the flivvers j inf the

the great centers of ' population.
Colonel Simmons declared that

quire land, to have and to ex

carefully designed plan by which
that nation is to take asylum in
America for a refuge against the
coming of the day a! wrath when
China undertakes to have an ac
