on me, d'you see! Now, l will give you
twenty-five dollars month to ride along

reply. "But," he added, as a thought struck
him, Chow might you be on a fght?'
"Never been licked in my life" rejoined
the six-footer.

They rode along till just at night, when
they reached a village. Dsmounting at the
door, they went in. Gardner Immediately
singled out the biggest man in the room,
and picked fuss with him. After consider.
able promiscuous jawing Gardner turned to
his fighting friend and ntimated that the
licking of that man had become a sad ne
cessity. Six.footer peeled, went in, and
came out first best.
The next plight, at another hotel, the
same scene was re'cnacted; Gardner getting
into a row with the biggest man in the place,
and six-footer doing the fighting.
At last, on the third day, they came to
ferry, kept by huge, double listed man,
who had never been licked in his life. Whilst
crossing the river, Gardner, as usual, began
to find fault and elbow" The ferryman
naturally got mad, threw things about kind

kind. Gardner then turned to his friend
"from the shoulder" and gently broke the
intelligence to him, that che was sorry, but
that it was absolutely necessary to thrash
that ferryman." Six-footer nodded his head
but said nothing. Il was plainly to be seen
that he did not relish the job, by the way
he shrugged his shoulders; but there was
no help for it. So when they reached the
shore, both stripped and at it they went. Up
and down the bank, over the sand into the
water they fought, scratched, gouged, bit
and rolled, till at the end of an hour the
ferryman caved. Six .footer was triumnbant.
