me $3.50. He came here on his uppers,
and staid on them fore quite a while
until he got the job Of fuel agent for
the Santa Fe. Then he made lots of
money, but he never paid me what he
owed me. 7 tried in various ways to

that it was a fifty. I said nothing but
damned it into my pocket. I invited
all the boys down the street to Pete
Mlllers to have cigars. Smith didn't go
with US and when we got to the cigar
store told the boys about it. They told
me to keep it, saying that Smith owed
me such big amount and had acted SO
shabby about It. that I ought = just
take advantage Of It. But I decided to
give II back anyway. We went back up
the street and Smith was still sitting
there. I yanked out the fifty and asked
him If he couldn't change 1t. Out he
pulled his roll OF bills again and count
ed out five tens. He still hadn't noticed
this mistake.
Someone told him Of II however q few
days later and meeting me in the Tefft

me a fifty for a ten. I told A.lrn that
he had. Hot - why that fellow fairly

the game was over he owed Smith Just
$40. The very next day Smith pounced
down on him IN his cigar store and de-
manded the sum. Pete told him that

soon as he took the money in. Smith

Owing to the approach of a severe
winter, the final arrangements for the
withdrawal of Oyana's army are, it
seems, that the forces in the most ad-
vanced lines will be withdrawn first and
that the movement has begun, for the
cost of keeping these distant armies
supplied with provisions is extraordi-
narily heavy, and the desire Of the
Toxic authorities is to dispense with
the expensive land transports services
at the earliest possible moment.

whence farther explorations could be
