Considerably disheartened and
wuefully jingling the few remain

standing the next morning near
the 1. G. railway depot trying to
decide where to 60 next, when
amy attention was attracted to a
sail and rather "seedy" looking In
adividual who seemed to be re-
garding me attentively. Finally
he strolIed over to where | was
standing and saluted me with,
Hello, pard; traveling?' l re-
plied that [ was and with very poor
results. He intimated that his
experience had been much the
same and that he was going to
Wisconsin. ard said he thought
srhances were better up there and
proposed that J. accompany him.
AS [ knew of no better locality
and was at my wits end as to
what was best to do. and withal

started out on foot, counting ties

running north from Freeport.
The day was cold and we walked
at pretty lively rate, my CON-
panion beguiling the time with a
history of his troubles and expert

arrived at small town where [
proposed that we go to hotel and
get dinner. My companion OBJ

and just as satisfactory.

melting the solder from the joints
by holding it over the fire, which
was now blazing quite briskly.
Then, by turning the edges up all
around and neatly folding the
ecorners, he had quite respectable
fryingpan. After washing the
other cans and setting aside two
small ones for drinking cups we
nsed larger one for coffeepot
and for frying our steak in, we
proceeded to dine. Altho our bill

table service somewhat scanty and
xade, [ have often dined more

The above conversation took
place in the corral where the men
we're waiting to take out their
respective herds. Several of the
men we're winking and nodding to
the rancher, as much as to say,
"break him in as we have others. y
The latter getting wise, called
one of the men to one side. They
conversed short time, occasionally
glancing at the stranger and
laughing. That they were franz

After a few further instructions
they set out, each going IN diff

thought it strange that he should

had the smallest herd, they were
