buyer told In glowing terms of he
wonder of the big world outside OF
| Texas lie offered the boys free

turn to San Angelo and a liberal
chunk OF cash at the end of the jour
ney Il they would accompany him and
help 10 feed and water the cattle
Always having had a desire 10 see
the world. the Taylors consented to
accompany the cattle train. q took

at the yards and sold the cattle
The Taylor boys went mp town

had disappeared The Texans have
not seen him since. They put ~
three full days following the trail
OF the man who had deceived them.
Without cent in their pockets ana
with nothing that looked like return

stances and wore out shoe leather
hitting the ties
Tired and hungry, still penniless
but withal glad that they were nearer
home than FOR many weeks. the Tay'
Tor boys arrived IN albuquerque last
night and made application for lodg-
ing az the police station. They we're
given accommodations for the night
aud a breakfast this morning and
were much cheered up to think that
they were only $50 miles from hi
PasO Texas, which isn't so very lar
from San Angelo.
Tho Taylors arc husky lOok'no
chaps. typical Texas cowboys end
have the appearance OF being absO
lutely upright and honest They speak
ia no mild terms regarding the traat-
ment handed TO them by the cattle
buyer who lured them away from
san Angelo What they viii do "a

The TeYqns say that once taey

once for the ranch they worked on
lefore and win never be eniiced away
from the broad plains country AGAIN.
