l arrived in Ashland, when l W.
taken in" by the police.
Well, had quite an experience the
very next day. / went out to see the
roundup in the afternoon, for I had
never seen such sight before. Be-
ing eager to gee all that there was to
see, and see 1t plainly, I bought a
seat out in the grandstand, where
there was no shadow to dim my
vision. l saw the whole thing from
start to finish that afternoon, and it
was we'll worth seeing, too. But, Just
think! while all the excitement was
going on there, something happened!

week to peel off-the burnt part, I
mean, and grow the skin back on.
