stored the buggy with guns, rods.

several stirrup cups before leaving
and at length got off on their
journey. They had not gone far
when both became thirsty and
agreed that, as they had
plenty of beer, they would
tap the keg, They stopped and
did so, taking good draughts Of the
cool amber, fluid and these drafts
were frequently repeated. At length
they arrived at the place, the
horses We're staked and the touches
made up for the night. Then they.
thought they would take might

that they put on several "night
caps" and then went to sleep.
When one awoke all was dark, so
he struck a match and found his
watch was stopped. A further in
yestigatiOn showed that the watch
had run down. As it should have
run till II noon without winding
he was suspicious He awoke his
companion and his watch was in
the same condition, and putting
this and that together they arrived
at the conclusion that they had
both slept through the whole Of
Sunday. AS. they We're bound to
be at business early ON Monday
they prepared a meal, for
both were hungry, and then started
out for home arriving here's alto a. IN.
