How Is This For Beating the Speed Limit?

Harry Gallagher, who runs a restaurant at the depot and also runs £n auto livery, was called upon the other morning to take a fellow home who lives near Pleasant Ridge. The fellow takes the opportunity every time he comes to town to got toaod up on river water and the other night he stayed' overtime and was still in town when morning came. He hunted up Harry and hired him to take him home in Harry’s jitney. Harry discharged his passenger at the Ridge and bustled home at a merry clip, for he wanted his berakfast. When he drove up to the restaurant a few minutes later he could scarcely believe his ©ye© when he saw his laite passenger sitting in' front of the restaurant with his feet on another chair apparently enjoying life. Investigation disclosed the fact that the milk train pulled into Pleasant Ridge just atfter Harry left and his late passenger decided when he saw the train pull in that he would celebrate some more, so he boarded the train and beat Harry back to town.
