hour last Wednesday morning and had

that life was worth the living. when q
highwayman stepped from the bushes
and ordered us to hands up. AS be had
the drop ON us. we didn't hesitate 10
comply with his somewhat surly re-
quest. He went through us for Sill
il cash and our guns, and detained us
fer half an hour or so. This delay was
our undoing, and we blame the robber
for not being a handler man at his
business. We had just reached the
forks of the Grass Valley road when
we ran plump into a dozen COW boys
belonging TO the three b. b. b. ranch.
They discovered almost at once that
we were not armed and closing in upon
US. we were made prisoners. In order
that we should indulge in no false
hopes, the gang announced that we had
only few minutes to live, and that a
rope and limb would be the manner
o. our taking off.
We discovered from the outset that
we had no friends in that crowd. Two
cf them were at some pains to inform
us that they were carrying chunks Of
lead which we had fired into them. and
the remainder owed US a grudge on
general principles. A rope was thrown
around our neck. we were led to a
nearby tree. and there were good rea-
sons for believing that the greatest

made an awkward showing on this oc-
casion. We think so from the fact that
some of the miserable wretches laughed

When all was ready for the cheerful
task of pulling us up TO the limb the
gang got over its hurry and concluded
to toy with US. A speech was de-
manded. and though we were not feel
ing at our best. we gave them one. or.
Their, an address. 1t was our new ad-
dress on the Pilgrim Fathers. and this
was its first delivery. Our voice didn't
do US justice for the first two or three
minutes. and we were somewhat both
cred with chill which insisted on
creeping up and down our spinal COL
umn. but when we had presently
warmed up to work things went bet

Pilgrim Fathers and their Puritanic de-

any of them to tears or cheers. but one
of them did step forward and loosen
the moose around our neck and give
our Adams apple better show to wob-
BILE about as we talked. The address
was written to occupy two hours. but
after listening about Is minutes. the
cowboys said the rest of the Pilgrims
could go to and demand a change of
programme. There was more toying ir
store for us.
We were commanded to sing, but
declined. on the ground that our voice
had never been trained. The gang
tailed on to the rope and drew us off
the ground. and we then concluded to
obey the command. We sang 1.-THE
Sweet BY and BY" what Is Home

other sad. sweet songs. We didn't en-
pect our singing to tickle them. but it
had that effect. and some of them
laughed till they fell down. When our
voice is raised in song il generally has
the opposite effect on our hearers. and
