Changed around a good deal. ” “Make any money?” “Yes, made a fortune. Am now going East to enjoy it. Shall live in a big stone mansion at one of the prettiest towns in New York State. Don’t ’suppose you will believe it, sir, but it’s a fact, I shall have 150 to 200 servants to wait on me. I shall keep my own physician right on the premises. I shall entertain hundreds of guests from all oter the State of New York and a few from the Territories,” “Now, that will do,” I interrupted. “I’m not a greeny; no use to tell such stories to me.” “It’s a foot though,” he replied, “and here's the proof of it.” And he held up his hands and exhibited a pair of handcuffs adorning his wrists. “Yes, sir; he’s my prisoner, and I’m taking him from Montana to Auburn,” said a keen-eyed, bearded man behind him. “A misunderstanding between you and the special agent in regard to the Avhereabouts of some registered letters, wasn’t it, Jim?” —“Tram Ta " Chicago Herald.
