"Ob! l thought you were talking
about Cheyenne" said the miner. e.
he fell back into his chair di-2usted.
! wss the only man who feemed
to enjoy this amusing incident. and
even / found it good policy TO show
a. little disposition. to laugh Al posi-
bic. The stage rolled On for miles
after it occurred, and not a word was
spoken by anyone. The miner
looked more iHt@ntly than ever out
0 fthe window, and yet there vas no;
an expression on his stolId face to in
dictate what his thoughts we've. The
preacher looked az iutentIy out from
the opposite side Of the stage and /
tpe ut my time watching the miner,
looking at the strange region through
which we were passing, etc.
At last the stage drew up at a sta

and get some dinner. We got out.
walked about to stretch our legs. and
then went toward the little tavern

three little graves in that ar town.
You don't blame me, / know, for
feelin' kinder hurt, but / wants to ak
your pardon and explain why fared
up sO."
And az the poor fellow finished
the tears could be seen roll
ing down his cheezs. He turned
away az If to hide them; but we were
both deeply impressed with his pa
thetic story, and the minister freely
forgave him for the scene he made in
the coach. Five minutes later all
