a WESTERN ADVENTURE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: Perhaps you
would like to hear about experience that my
uncle had several years ago. He was then chief
engineer of a surveying party for laying out a
Western railroad. and was in rather wild part Of
California. 1t the custom of the paymaster
TO ride a long way to a certain work station TO
pay the workmen their wages.
But ii happened one day that the paymaster was
very Ill and unable to make his usual journey
with the money. AS my uncle afraid TO trust
any else, he himself. So at daybreak he
mounted his horse, with the sadclebags heavy with
gold. and started his long journey His revolver
was at his belt. He rode all day through woods
and plains just stopping long enough to eat
his luncheon, which he carried in his knapsack
As it grew dark he quckened his pace and by
nightfau he reached a little inn where he had to
spend the night OF course, he took his saddle and
saddebags in with him. and as he sat down in the
little dining-room, or rather eating-room, he was
conscious OF being rtared at by a dozen pairs OF
eyes.
He went upstairs quite early. -aking the bags
with him Before he got int ed he took pains
TO place candle and matches a little table
to his bed. and. OF he put his revolver
underneath his pillow At last he blew out his
light and got into bed. Somehow or other. he
couldn't get sleep-he had uneasy
feeling. He felt though there were some other
person in that roomi Yes, he there WAS
some one under his bed He listened straning
every nerve he had the sensation that he heard
faint breathing. All this time he lay perfectly
still. not moving a muscle. He knew that II he
made any movement ne might be dead man
Finally he thought of plan. Very softly he
reached his hand under his pillow for the revolver.
and very softly he took out one of the balls; then
he put his hand gently on the floor ard rolled the
bullet swiftly but steadily. under the bed. He
knew that IL there obstacle there the ball
would dash against the wall with bang. but IL
there any there he would hear any
crash. My uncle listened intently; he heard from
under him a muffed thud, Immediately he sprang
up, a the same time lighting the candle, and
reaching under the bed, he dragged cowardly
cringing Chinese coole, who scared TO death!
After giving him a good, hard shaking by the
collar, my uncle sent him flying out of the door
and down the stairs with kick, he had such a
contempt for this little cowardly Chinaman. for he
had expected to encounter some Western despersdo
