Two wheels passed right over "her." "What's so strange about; that?" we asked. "Well--listen--itdidn't kill or hurt the hen; that's the queer part of it. Didn't hurst it a bit and just think of the weight that passed over that chicken, die you, with three of us in the car."

"Well--er--how do you account for such a strange, almost miraculous feature of the incident?" we asked. "How do I?" he yelled. "Yes, sir; how do you?" we shouted. "Why", he went on, "you see, the old hen was dead before we got to it."
