Boon afterward, he Doaroea no. and was soon asleep In the second chair car. ' The next he knew he was prodded Into wakefulness by a couple of six shooters and very naturally thought It was a bunch of Pendleton Elks coming home. When they re quested him to remove his ring, he kidded" them until they gave him a couple of more vicious Jabs with the guns. "What do yon think this is, a picnic?" the leader' said and at the same- moment seized his hand and roughly pulled off the ring. "Gee, you must be a fat one," he said, "Come through with the roll."
