Slowly, carefiily, Mr. Union
descended from the scaffold, lea

He was shaking with rage, with
weakness, und with fatigue.
"Old? Me old? I'm a fool, I
admit, or I wouldn't have lugged

and leaned against a post for
sui port. Ills knees were wobbly;
he, too, ached in every. bono and
muscle; he too, had been goaded
Into an insane temper, but that
which maddened him beyond ex

churge of Incompetency.

"We'll cut our grub fifty-fifty,
then I'll hit you a clout with the
traces and turn you a-looses"
Jerry was still dazed, lor his
world had come tat an end, but
he pretended to an extravagant
joy and .managed to chirp: "Good

went pardners. I'll -eure kick up

"Cut her In two."
