TOM FITCh'S PASS.
1t Saved Another Man, But Old Tom
 Was Robbed Himself.

1t Saved Another Man, But Old rom
 Was Robbed Himself,
 They were roasting Chestnuts, a lot of old timers, the other night, says writer in the San Francisco Chronicle, and many of the classic stories of California were repeated. One was quoted that Tom Fitch used to tell about himself, but it reflected great glory upon him, and one old mean curmudgeon said it was not the true version of the story at all Tom Fitch told it his way, he said, but that wasn't it. At that time Tom was in the interior, and this young fellow, rather green. came through on a trip. Tom got hold of him and filled him full of all sorts of stories that made the young mans hair stand on end. At last they got to stage robber stories, and he had some blood curdling ones; but Tom made the young fellow believe he was all-powefful, even with the stage robbers. He was giving the stranger some letters of introduction to friends in other places, when the stranger, after some hesitation, said: Say, can't you give me pass"
 "A pass!'
 "Imean pass through tho country; something I can show the highwaymen when they stop the stage, and get safe through"
 "Why, certainly"
 And Tom wrote out un order ''Pass the bearer without molestation. (Signed) Tom Fitch.n It happened that Tom had to go on the same stage as the young fellow, and it was '' stood up in due course, as Tom had represented it was likely to be. ''Throw up your hands," Up went every body's hands, Toms included. When the robbers reached the young stranger he spoke up: "Who is the captain of this band?'
 "Get out, young fellowl You keep your hands up" tN hn n tlir If "You shut up. I'm captain enough for you"
 II have a paper for the captain of this band"
 "Let him take his hands down, Bnl,' said 1 one of the robbers.
 "No, you don't. Where is this paper?"
 "It is ill my waistcoat pocket"
 The robber put his hand into the waist coat and found the paper-"Pass tho bearer without molestation, Tom Fitch"
 All right, young feler, you can pass"
 Then they came to Tom.
 Hold on,' said Tom, as they began to | search; hold On.'
 "What's the matter with You!'
 "You can't rob me-
 i've can't; Why!'
 "rm Tom Fitch."
 "Get out that's too thin. Stand steady. Thatll do."
 And they took all he'd got and went on
 II wish I'd written d pass for myself,' said Tom. But it was too late: they | cleaned him out.
