Sol looked up slowly and nodded.
Sure, | got 'em. They're strangers
to me, though. Wish some OF you
boys would drop over to the Jail
and look 'em over. Maybe someone
knows who they be-"
We trooped out Of the saloon and
down to the jail. The jail was a
single-room affair, partitioned off
in the middle by line of iron bars
running from floor to ceiling. Be

Sol opened the gate in the iron
barred partition and let us all
through to get a close scrutiny Of
the rustlers. AS soon as the last
man was inside he slammed the
door and locked it.

going out to get my dinner. III

With this he went out. He was
gone two hours. At sight of him
coming back they set up an unan-
imous shout for liberty. 1t was
pretty crowded behind that parti-
ton, and we were fed up on trying
to identify couple of dirty cattle
rustlers.
Sol, however, had different ideas.
He ignored our demands for free
dom, sat himself down and began
to white himself smoke. When
his old corn-cob got drawing well
he crossed his legs, settled himself
comfortably and began to talk.
Right now" he said, els as good
time as any to finish telling you
boys that story l started the other
day. We got plenty of time and the
day is young"
1t was dark before Sol finished.
He not only told the story he had
started two days before, but he
went through his repertoire from
end to end Each time he started a
new one, we began to yell and
shout all sorts Of dire threats. Sol
merely waited until the noise had
subsidized, and continued.
How long this would have lasted
we never knew. But some one
finally got it through his skull that
Sol wanted appreciation. There
fore, at the conclusion of the next
yarn we applauded loud and long.
This seemed to please the old cod
ger. He told another yarn just to
see if we were in earnest and when
the applause sounded ever more
loud and serious, he stood up,
