of a fatalist, lived in a region infested
by Indians. He always took hia guiu
with him, and onee. finding that some
of the family had taken it out, he would,
not go without it. His friends called
him, saying that there was no danger of.
the Indians, as lie would not die till his
time coine, anyhow. “Yes,” said lie
“hut supjiose 1 was to meet an. Indian
and his time had come to die, it would
not do not to have my gun.”

into shreds, including his boots. Of
course, a new suit had to he purchased
for him so that he could appear for trial,
