says he.
Il made up the package, handed Tito
him, and he ambled out again. l had
forgotten all about my customer until
about four o'clock the next afternoon,
when ! was forcibly reminded of the
transaction of the day before. After
I had waited on my customers in their
turn l walked over to another coun-
ter and was there confronted with my
moth-ball investor. Without giving
me time to make an inquiry, he said:
Are yez the young mon that sold
me thin things yistiddy?' showing me
the remains of about half dozen Of
the white balls.
Il answered in the affirmative. and
also inquired what the trouble was.
'''Av all the con games I've run up
against in me tonne, this bates thin

Some times for couple of days the
robbers would go away to rob a train
'or a stage coach, and leave us with a
few guards, who acted as though they
wanted us to try to escape; so they
could shoot us in the back, but we
stayed, and fried bacon and elk meat
and sighed for rescue.
One day the robbers came back from

Harris will doubtless be surprised to
learn Of her marriage on last
Friday, at Buffalo, N r.. at the
Ingleside hotel, to Mr. Jesper, Of

end Of a pretty romance, the two
being sweethearts prior to Mrs.
Harris marriage. Mr.. Jesper's busi-

and after awhile the courtshiI
endeed. After his return to America
some months ago, learning that
his former sweetheart was again
single, began correspondence

has been a resident of Chickasha
several years and was well known
in local music circles and was a
