and more thon odco jaok thought in his excited state that lis deteoted fiery eyes in thdtjstkdepths w a swept by but the moment iry fear passed away and as he emerged from the woods hs began to really enjoy his ride he was perspiring freely and some of the upgrades made him pull bat at this be smiled as he thoughtofhlsrimilshlghigsar at last tho lights of valley stream gleamed abend and jaok

ground pushed his wheel over against a tree the trunk of whioh was hidden among the bashes and bent down to apply the lubricant he was busily engaged when he was startled by hearing low voices

no the auspicious character ho had seen in the tavern but he passed on and as his footsteps died away there was a eilence broken only by the soughing of tho wind through tho tree tops jack was u a
