lynch to be hanged till he confessed. Under
the sentence John, protesting his innocence,
ras hauled some dozen times over stout
limb. but the last ascension proving too much
for the Celestial's fortitude, he owned up, and
agreed to pilot his tormentors to the hidden
bootv. and did SO. While the miners were un-
earthing the il-gotten treasure, John looked on
vorv plum, but when the last "twenty" was
e,humed his countenance frightened, and slap
ming the leader Of the choking inquisition
trnmphantly on the back, he exclaimed; "You
see, John, me no tell lie."

and shake shan ties.
