st. Louis reporter. There was practically
choice of two routes. and whichever a
man took he was almost sure to wish ne

country in a stage coach he was almost

way, and If he came down the Missouri
river in boat he was lucky if he had a
whole scalp when he struck the nearest
railroad town. / tried both routes, and

1t was a stormy night, too, just about this
time. The wind howled and moaned and
the lightning flashed in red ribbons, while
the thunder cracked like the guns of battle,
and reverberated in boom that made all
the dishes in the house rattle. 1t was a bad
night, too dismal by far for people to be
out in. Everybody was sitting around the
stove talking. Just as the clock strik-
