Mr. DeBRUIN pluckily clung tot he reins until they broke, after being dragged some distance.

Very uncertain where to look for it, he stepped into the hotel and telephoned Operator STARK at the north side depot to go out and pick up his watch which he would find near his bus stand. He was not a little surprised a few minutes later to learn that the operator found the timepiece where he was told to look for it.
