first trip out West. We stopped late
at night and spent Sunday there. There
were two coach loads of us, and tho
little two-story brick tavern was nearly
full when we arrived. The best they

myself was to give us a couple of
'sbake-downs in the dining room. We
slept late Sunday morning, but finally
waking up commenced TO talk Said |:
Charles, bet can tell you what they
had at this hotel for dinner yesterday.

room. No, you're mistaken said he,
shaking his head, and shifting at the
covering of bis bed, 1T was mutton.

completed very full investigation OF
