was to throw down my rail and get or
my pony as soon as noss;bjo W. ~
saw ME start off she called ont.
"Come back, NV friend If yo,
please
Thinking she had been pokine fun a,
me, and was now going to give me back
my money, | hitched nv mustang and
started back to the house, steppine tall
and fast, but just as | got to the Rail
had thrown down she orde-e,, me -
halt:
"What in thunder do Won want now p'
! asked.
Just pick up the rail and nut il rich,
back where you found il ~ said she
"Pll see you in--first and The in
fernal rail on top of YOU" was NV an.
swer.
Take hold of him, Bull ?" said she
aud out came the dog again hannv r.
gee me I've no doubt. / looked mt ,he
rail then at my horse, and then at BulI
and the result of my investigations was
that picked up the rail and laid il on
the fence in the most orderly name,
possible.
NOW, Mr.. Cow. driver" said she
you had better get that ,nustano hotwaen
your legs and travel, or you'll hear had
news"
Not thinking of any suitable ansve,
to that remark, took her advice. cussino
the steer, and the woman. and Texas and
everybody else. If auy of Won think !
wasn't mad, you'd better 90 and trv /,
yourself. BY this time the aun was
down, and before cot a half a n,;Ie
from the house, / heard n wolf howl
and presently another. That helped NV
feeling a great deal-in n hornLand I
commenced thinking as fast as n buck
could run down hill. and the result Of
nv thinking was that I'd nut myself 70
d heap of trouble, and travelled a long
ways to die a FOOLS death in the woods
had sense enough to know that il
wouldn't do to ride in that couutry after
dark, and while was wandering hos,
to get out of the scrape, came 70 nm
old mill, that the woman had told me
about. Thinking that would be n good
place to make stand. I tied INV 6onv
in an old stable. and went into the house
1t was a shabby looking affair. without
any door shutter, but it was better thar
being Jut in the woods. 40 link ed
al ound for safe place to sleep.
finally decided to 20 up and get into
the hopper, which was nearly as large as
a wagon body, and was some eight fee,
from the lower floor. so T crawled into II
spread nv blanket over me and nrenar'
ed to make the best of il, IF T had mat
had some whisky-and sumner 7 felt Iike
could have done finely. but "a had
neither, felt like one Of the lost sheen
I've heard OF. Well dark came on and
was nearly asleep. when heard a wh;a.
tie, in the direction I had come an,,
looking out. saw light coming siowlv
down the hill. Presently there NO,
another whistle. which was answerad
from an opposite direction.
"Now ia bet a dollar if T had o,e ,,

is haunted, and they'II have me suren
