And he went out and saddled old

"Here's some cheese and doughnuts

placed in his coat pocket; land here's

We were discussing moments of SUI

his most thrilling experience, when his
heart had come the nearest to standing

Amy had told of the time he fell over
the precipice, and was only saved from
being dashed to pieces by clutching a
dandelion which grew on the brink,
and Bowen had related how he drank
from bottle, the gift of a New Jersey
friend, in the dark, and for a

taken nitric acid through mistake.
Acer had given a graphic description
of the cold chills which had run
over him, and the sudden awful faint

dining-roOm that it was only ffty-nine
minutes past five; and had lived over
for their benefit my experiences of
jumping from locomotive just as it
crashed into the side of swiftly-mov.

Cooper had sat silently smoking un.
til the last, and after his turn had come
he remained for some time apparently
deep in thought. At length he said:
Gentlemen. have no doubt that each
of you has given, thoughtlessly. per-
haps, what he considers his supreme
moment of terror; but, knowing all
of you as / do, the joys Of
your home lives and the trials
of the head of family, you will
pardon me if 1 say that l think
that you have made a mistake. Is it
possible that none of you have ever

For a moment there was solemn
silence, and then we guilty wretches,
bound together by the common tie of

pathetically with each other, and took
Cooper out and bought him something.

dead fourteen years, and jefferson was
an old man, living in retirement at his
