| 0:55.1 | Today, Brown of Calaveris by Brett Hart. |
| 1:00.9 | A subdued tone of conversation and the absence of cigar smoke and boot heels at the windows of the |
| 1:06.5 | Wingdom Stagecoach made it evident that one of the inside passengers was a woman. A disposition on the part of loungers at the |

| 2:10.0 | feverish relentlessness and boister's emotion, and even Bill Masters, a graduate of Harvard, |
| 2:16.6 | with his slovenly dress, his overflowing vitality, his intense appreciation of lawlessness and barbarism and his mouth filled with crackers and cheese, |
| 2:26.0 | I fear cut but an unromantic figure beside this lonely calculator of chances |
| 2:31.0 | with his pale Greek face and |
