to be second horse standing near a sad
die horse which had been tied to a tele-
phone pole for the night. Upon a second
look, however, the object was recognized
as man in the act of untying the horses
picket rope. Mr.. Leavens awakened his
companions and started for the intruder,
calling upon him to let loose of the horse.
The fellow let go the rope and started to
run, but was promptly headed off and
compelled to surrender. Taking him back
to the telephone pole, he was tied uncom-
fortably about the waist and legs and an
attempt was made to draw from him his
name and residence The attempts were
unavailing, however, his only reply being
that he was from Lewistown, where he
was engaged in saving wood, and that his
name was Tom Shaw" Evidently he had
known the sheriff.
In his pockets were found a small knife
and about 50 60, and he had a Ratchet in

but the money was replaced in his pock-

tighter, until the fellow asked his cap
tors to kill him. but he was informed that
the time had not come for that yet, but
not to get in hurry. After some time
spent in parleying and pulling the ropes,
one of the men suggested hanging him to
the pole, and shortly he was in the air.
and as he asked for time to pray, he was
let down.
Mr.. Leavens says he has heard Metho-
dist and Baptist preachers pray, but he
never heard one pray as that man did.
He asked permission to kneel but was
refused. and continued calling on the AL
mighty God to forgive his sins and accept
his soul, which was so soon to take leave
of it's earthly frame. The men listened I'M
til quite tired, and then told him he must
draw his prayers to a close, as the pro-
gramme was being interrupted. But he
pleaded for a few moments more, and
these were given him, his second prayer
being more fervent than the first. There
was no doubt in his mind that the game
was about over, Mr. Leavens says. Once,

the fellow will not soon forget how near
he came TO death, and it is not likely he
will ever again cross Mr.. Leavens' path.

had camped for the night. About o'clock

were rapidly filling up. Nathaniel Nub-

gentleman, had just got comfortably set
tied down in a corner seat of the car
next to the smoker, when he heard
familiar voice addressing him:
why, hello. Nubbins; how are you? I'm

for some one to take charge of Aunt Abb

with them when she reaches Troy. You're

he glanced up and recognized his friend
Travers, with his arms full of bundles of
all shapes and sizes, and Aunt Abigail
grmly looming up in the aisle behind him
like one of Napoleon's grenadiers
Now, Nathanial Nubbins was of de-
cidedly shy and retiring disposition, besides
being dyed-in- the-wool old bachelor
(Nubbins was So still single, and not only
wiling, but anxious to remain so), and if
he could have his choice he would sooner
lead bayonet charge, face a gang of mu-
tineers or midnight burglar, or eneoun-
ter most any other trifle in that line rather
than take charge of a woman and her
luggage for hundred-and-fifty- rail-
road journey. Therefore the reader will
kindly imagine the remarks (they will
hardly do for print that Nubbins made

forced politeness bowed the waiting fe-

raising his voice he shouted: Aunt Abb

you and see you safely off the train with
your baggage when you reach Troy"
so good of him, I'm sure. Happy to
meet you, Mr.. Nubbins," responded Miss
Doolittle, with what was meant TO be
winsome smile in Nubbins' direction.
At this moment the starters bell rang.
the train began slowly moving out of the
station, and with a hurried "good-by'
Travers dashed out of the car, leaving
Nubbins alone to face the responsibility
of delivering Miss Doolittle and her col
lection of baggage safely at the Troy sta
tion--a responsibility which even the
bravest of Nubbns sex might well have
hesitated to face.
Now. Nubbins, as I have previously in
