True.

"When / 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,
"this manned hand saved my life"
sis that SOP" 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 a boy wouldn't be
here now. Jim Dixon and me were tradin'
with the Indians. We exchanged beads, fake
jewelry and bright calico for furs. All the
buffalo were not gone then and we did II
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 ns
that we were to be put to death after the
Indian fashion. All at once i recalled that
a good many of the Indians knew me as the
.four.fingered' trader who was always on
the level with those wild merchants, so l
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 dlgnihed manner, ex-
amned the hand, grunted about IL 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
frghts were the rule"
Brave man" said one neighbor to an
other, as they walked away.
"Yes, regular big injun, II you accept all
he tells. Between me and you he lost that
finger two years ago while examining a lay
cutter. Detroit Free Press.
