They Take the Road with Many
Serious Complications.

!
palace car to arrive, which Mr.
Powning assured them was on the
way from San Francisco as he hao
teIegraphed to Steve Gage for II
the day before.
Are we to be allowed to ride in
the same palace car with you Nr
Powring?' queried Daggettl tim
idly.
Il have decided to allow you te
| ride with me, the prospect OF the
Senatorsl!ip does not make me
proud"
A sigh of relief whistled through
the crowd at the announcement
for the general idea was, that Pown-
ing would want the whole car and
leave the rest OF the troupe to swell
ter in the cattle train.
VAen the train hove in sight
the expected palace car was not
along and they were obliged to get
into the common passenger car.
The members Of the troupe had
been tricked out in the most gorge
Gus attire, the costumes being fur
nishei from Mr.. Pownings private
pure. (the amount not to be de-
Quoted until the close Of the sea-
sony.
Cassidi was arrayed in a gorge
Gus pair of maroon pants, striped
with gold, yellow vest and plum
colored velvet coat completed the
picture. Wren had tight pants of
sage green, a plush vest with flow
ers an enormous watch chain, pre-
scented him by the Albion Rich
mond Jury, and a coat Of blue and
gold checks.
Daggetti was attired in a pale
South Sea Island blue, with poker
chip dots of red and white, and
cocoa waking stick, suggestsvely
presented to him by HIS Majesty.
The coat was cut with long tails
to conceal bowie knife and six
shooter he wore, in case he had any
serious trouble with Powning.
Ellis was dressed in the faultless
black broadcloth Of a Southern
gentleman, without any vulgar Or
namentation except alarge diamond
pin presented him by Col. Suther-
land, who is now travelling for his
health in Southern California, Can
ada or Africa, no one exactly knows
where.
Bob Lindsay was gotten up in
gaudy and garish costume, almost
impossible to describe. When he
walked up and down the platform
the dogs fell away from him in ter
ror, bowling after a most melan-
cholly fashion. Such a combina-
ton of colors as he used would in
dictate that he had filched a rain
bow from the skies, wrapped it
round his body and tied it in
double bow knot in front.
Mr.aPswning, On seeing Lindsay,
promptly ordered him back home
with instructions to assume a more
sombre east of colors, as he did not
propose to be out dressed by any
body On earth.
Mr.. Lindsay accepted the rebuke
with good grace, and did as he was
told. All wore the regula ton plug
hats.
The scenery and baggage filled a
freight car. Mr.. Powning engaged
the baggage master in history o.
how he was beaten for Congress,
and while this was going on, Cas-
sidy and Daggett piled the baggage
and scenery in the car and directed
it for Winnemucca without being
seen. Cassidy chalked the word
Paid across the face of the
scenery and pecketed the checks of
the Saratogas before Powning had ,
got half through.
The NOTICE Of the party was any
thing to beat the blasted monopoly,
and when the conductor came
through the car Lindsay stuck
six shooter under his nose and
asked him for lay over tickets Tor
the party, as they wanted to get off |
at Winnemucca.
The official enquired after their
when Powning knocked
him down with a stick of stove
wood, which ended the debate, and
the car rolled on.
