''Weil, there wasn't anything to be

Sam Brown, with a carpet bag in his
hand and his pistols bulging under his
coat, came out 10 the wagon and took
his seat beside me. He proved a civil
enough companion, and we got
through To Virginia City all right,

a. we made our journey together.

Sandy Springs, about half way to Viz
ginia City, and i'm the course Of the
evening he told me something of his
life and adventures. One thing in
particular that / remember was the
way that he came to start out on his
career of killing. / don't remember
whether il was in Texas or Missouri
that this first affair happened, but il

and the next time the gambler went

looking sorry he shot his tOrmeutor

Agrippina, regarding him with look
that made him shivcr.
When the festivities were over Agrip-
pima approached him, and placed in
his hands the tablet that he had rccciv-
cd from Octavia.
''Doubtlcss YOU would not like 10 loose

cleaning on him like burning flame,
therefore keep it, and may you never
regret your sisters gift," and then she
went away and left him puzzled at her
strange speech and her fierce looks.
Poor little prince! he did not know
that in the hear, of that cruel woman
his death was already planned. But
50 it was. His beauty and his popu-
larity might at any time make him a
powerful rival OF her son. Moreover,
his graceful, pathetic song showed her
that he had not forgotten the crown
that belonged to him, and she had de
termined that his claims should stand
no longer in the way of Nero's popu-
larity.

marble floor in her chamber with the

first lesson in crime, for before another
morning he was a murderer.
