They were "both In a deep snooze out at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin Falls, the other night, when a runaway team from the county fair city turned Into the lane leading up to the Beattie estate and came along at full speed. Sound asleep, but dreaming of danger, Ralston rolled out of hla cot toward the north, and Beattie from his cot toward the south. The runaway borsea dashed between the Bleepers, oversetting everything in the way; hut missing Battle and Ralston by margins too narrow to be measured. Since that night Ralston has slept In his town house and Beattie has found shelter under the ample roof of his bouse en his big plants, tlon. Loves Crime.
