4 SQUARE THING.
How . Ml..ourl Man R...ln.d . ori.'

Tho train was Just pulling out OF
Weston, Mo-, for st. Joe. when. ac-
cordinR to a New York Sun writer, one
of the passengers in tho smoker put his
head so far out Of the window that q
man near him felt it his duty 20 utter q
note OF warning.
"Yes, 1t Is n little risky" replied the
man, as he pulled in his head and sat
down, ''but 1 was looking for a grave in
that field. Reckon it has been plowed
under and forgotten"
SLOW did they happen to bury him
there?"
sits q sad story, gentlemen = very
sad. 1t was just ten years this month,
and was living here then. a stranger
came in from tho West with three
horses to sell, and no acted SO q~ueerly
that we clapped him in Jail. He never
denied that he stolc 'cm, and one night
tho boys turned out and hung him to n
tree back there. That used t O DO our
way of discouraging the business, and 1
believe 1t Is still practiced further west.
We buried him near the tree, and it was
his grave l was looking for
Never denied 1t, ehf' queried one Of
the listeners.
Never did, although we gave him
every chance. Just n week from the
time he was hung we found out that no
was an honest, honorable farmer, living
about forty miles below us. While he
hadn't stolen the horses, he had killed
man, and he no doubt believed we wcro
hanging him for that. We felt mean
enough when wo discovered that he was
no horse thief, and that all he had done
was to pop n man over and a Kansas
man at that, and no must hnve been
sadly puzzled over our conduct. We
made such reparation as we could, how
ever"
SIN what way?"
sob, We rounded up the grave, passed
resolutions of sympathy for tho wife,
sent tho horses on homo, and n few
months later | went up and married his
widow. She's in the next car behind"
