STORY SOUNDED WELL.
But There Was Reason to Believe
That 1t Was Not Wholly
True.

"When I first went west" tells retired
business man, who now does nothing in the
way of work except to NOW the lawn and
see that the cat is in the barn at night,
hthis manned hand saved my life"
SIS that so?" asked the visiting neighbor,
who knew that this form of invitation would
be sufficient to insure the story.
"Yes, that's right. If hadn't lost that
first finger when | was boy l wouldn't be
here now. Jim Dixon and me were tradln'
with the Indians We exchanged beads, fake
jewelry and bright calico for furs. All the
buffalo were not gone then and we did a
good business. One time we happened to
strike a wandering band of savages that
held us up on sight and it was plain from
the way the red devils danced around us
that we were to be put to death after the
Indian fashion. All at -once | recalled that
a good many of the Indians knew me as the
'four-fngered' trader who was always on
the level with those wild merchants, so |
held up the hand and kept it up till one OF
the young bucks let out significant grunt
and then hurried to the chief in command.
He came to me in dignifed manner, ex.
amined the hand, grunted about l6 times
while celebrating, said How and released
me as well as my partner. We were treated
right up to the handle and permitted to de-
| part when we wanted to. 1t was the closest
squeak and the worst scare had out in that
country when near calls and heart failure
rights were the rule
brave man." said one neighbor to an.
other, as they walked away, :,

Yes" was the answer, with the air OF 4
man who is modest, but cannot deny the
truth. "Are you fond of music?"
Il don't know that am what you would
call fond of it. At the same time haven

That amounts to the same thing as being

"'How often. oh, how often,
Have l wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom
