"They Bay so," says Dr. Klrby. "Was you ever an aeronaut your elf7" asts the feller. "No," aaya the doctor. "Never been up In a balloon? "No." . "Well, you're going up in one tola lfterooonr "What do yon mean?" a sts Dr. Klrby. WeHe come out to see a balloon as censfioa and we're going to see It too." , And with that the hull crowd made a raahat the doctor. Wen, Pre been In fights before that. ' aad I been In fights since, then. But 1 1 never heen in no harder one. The ! doctor' and the two Blanchet brothers 1 ndme managed to get backed up agin f the fence in a row when the rush tome. "I guess I done my share, and I r guess tie Blanchet brothers done tbeira - too. But they was too many of "ean far ins too dern many. When u I come to rwai all mashed about the j'facerand two fellers was sitting on me. I The crowd was tying Dr. Klrby to that J paradjute bar. They straddled his legs lover the parachute bar and tied his (feet below It He was still fighting. but they was too many fur him.- They , left his . arms untied, bat they held i "em.', andthen I Then. tfiey ; cut her loose. She went ; np tJfce-ehe was shot from a-gun. Tbe fellers "that had holt of me for-'- got. me. and stood op, and I stood up, I too, .an looked. The balloon was ris i tag ""fast Dr. .Klrby was trying to puH nfinsetf . up to the trapeze bar, '- twisting and squirming and having a ' bard time of it and shooting higher : every secend. Finally he made a squirm end raised' himself a lot and grabbed : the rope at one side of the bar. And ' then he reached and got the. rope on ' the other side and eet straddle of her. And' Jest - as he done that the wind fcetched the balloon good and hard, .and she tamed out toward Lake Erie. She Was Getting Smaller Every Min ute. It was too late fur him to pull the rope that sets the parachute loose then and drop on to the land. I rushed out of that' schoolhouse yard and down the street toward the lake front and run, stumbling along and looking up. She was getting Smaller every minute. And with my bead in the air looking op I was run ning plumb to the edge of the water before I knowed it She was away out over the lake now and awful high and going fast before the wind, and the doctor was only a speck. And as I stared at that speck away np in the sky I thought this was a mean world to live in, fur there was the only real friend I ever bad and no way fur me to help him. I guessed he would be drownded and I would never see him again now. And all of a strd Bcn something busted loose inside of . toe. and I sank down there at the edge pt jtho water, sick at my stomach and (weak and shivering. s CHAPTER XI. I -Hit the Road." DIDNT exactly faint there, but things got all mixed fur me, and when they was straight ened out agin I was in a hospi- I taL it seems I had been considerable stepped on in that fight, and three ribs (was broke. I was In a plaster cast, and before I got out of that I was in a fe ver. I was some weeks getting out of there. I tried to get some word of Dr. Klr by. but couldn't. Nothing had been beard of or the balloon. The newspapers had had stuff about it fur day or two. and they guessed the body might come. to light some time But that was alL And I didn't know .where to hunt nor how. The hosses aod wagon and tent and things worried me some. too. The; wasn't mine, and so I couldn't sell 'em And they wasn't no good 'to me with out Dr. Klrby. So t tells the man (hat owns the livery stable to nse the team fur its board and keep till Dr. Klrby calls fur it, and if be never does meb by I win sometime. I didn't want to stay in that town, or X could of got a lob in the livery stable. d njMU; JtJitaji.that town. I wanted to light "out ' T didn't care much where to. Them Blanchet brothers had, left a good share of the money we took in at the balloon ascension with the hospital people fur me before they cleared out But before I left that there town I seen they was one thing I had to do to make myself easy in my mincU So I done her. That was to hunt up that feller with his eye 'in the patch. It took me a week to find him. He lived down near some railroad yards. I might of soaked him with a coupling pin and felt a hull lot better. But 1 didn't guess It would do to pet and pamper my feelings too much. So. I does it with tdy fists in a quiet place and does it very complete and leaves that town in a cattle car,' feeling a hull lot more contented In my mind. Then they was a hull dern year T didn't stay nowhere very long, nor work at any one Job too long, neither. I Jest worked from place to place see ing things big towns and rivers and mountains.. Working here and there, and loafing and riding blind baggages and freight trains between jobs, I cov ered a lot of ground that year nd made some purry big jumps and got acquainted with f some awful queer , folks, first and last But the worst of that is lots of peo ple gets to thinking I am a hobo. Even A one or two judges In police courts I got acquainted with had that there idea of me. I always explains that I am not one and am jest traveling around to see things and working wben I feels like it and ain't no bum. But frequent I am not believed. And two, three different times I gets to the place where I couldn't hardly of told myself from a hobo if I hadn't of knowed I wasn't one. I got right well acquainted with ' some of them hoboes too. As fur as I can see they is as much difference in tbem as in other humans. Some travels because they likes to see things, and some because they hates to work, and some because they is in the habit and cant atop it Well. I know myself it's . party bard after awhile to stop it, fur where would you stop at? What ex- . I tuse is they to stop one place more'n I another? I met all kinds of 'em, and oncet I got In fur a week with a cou ple of real Johnny Yeggs that is both In the pen now. I hearn a feller say ' one time fhere Is some good in every man. I went the same way as them two yeggmen a hull dern week to try and find out where the good in 'em . was. I guess they must be some mis take somewheres, fur I looked hard and I watched closet and 1- never found It. They is many kinds of ho bos and tramps, perfessional and ama chure, and lots of kinds of bums and lots of young fellers working their way around to see things, like I was, and lots of workingmen in hard luck going from place to place, and all them kinds la humans. But the real yeggman ain't even a dog. , One morning I was in a good sized town in Illinolse, not a hundred miles from where I was raised, without no money, and my clothes not much to look at, and no job. I had been with a railroad show fur about two weeks, driving stakes and other rough work, and it had went off and left me sleep ing on the ground. Circuses never waits fur nothing nor cares a dern fur no one. I tried all day around town fpr to get some kind of a job and got one loading boxes at a freigtk't depot. Lifting one of them boxes down from ' the wagon I got such a shock I like to of dropped her. Fur she was addressed to Dr. Hart ley Xj. Klrby. Atlanta, Ga. I managed to get that box onto the platform without busting her. and then I sets down on top of her awful weak. I was tickled. Tickled? Jest so.tick led I was plumb foolish with it The doctor was alive after alL - I kept say ing It over and over to myself. He hadn't drownded nor blowed away. And I was going to hunt him up. I calkelated I could grab a ride that very, night that would put me into Evans ville the next morning. I fig gered if 1 ketched a through freight from there on the next night I might get where he was almost as quick as them bottles did. At 10 that night I was in an empty bumping along south along with a cross eyed feller named Ixoney Hogan, who was traveling the same way. Riding on trains without paying fare ain't always the easy thing it sounds. It is like a trade that has got to be learned. They is different ways of do ing it 1 have done 'every way fre quent except one. That 1 give up aft er trying her two. three times. That is riding the rods down underneath the cars, with a piece of board put acrost 'em to lay yourself on. I never want to go anywheres agin bad enough to ride the rods. This feller Looney Hogan that was with me was a kind of a harmless crit ter, and he didn't know jest where hp was going, nor why. He was mostly scared of things, and If you spoke to him quick be shivered first and then grinned idiotic so you wouldn't kick him. and when he- talked he had' a silly little giggle. He had been made that-a-way in a reform school where they took him young and tried to work the cussedness out'n him by batting him around. They worked it out and purty nigh everything else along with it I guess. Looney had bad a pardnet whose name was Slim, be said. But a couple of years before Slim had fell overboard off'n a barge up to Duluth and never . come np agin. Looney JLfcnowed, Slim .was. dnjwndedj.allrihtj. I Got Such a Shock I Like to of Drop ped Her. Is ' grouchler to them they thinks is bums than north of it anyhow. And In some parts of it if a real bum gets pinched heaven help 'im, fur nothing else won't One night between 12 and 1 o'clock I was put off of a freight train fur the second time in a place in the northern part of Tennessee, right near the Ken tucky line. I got into a lumber yard to rest ' - ' , ; , . It was a dark night and so fur as I could see they wasn't much moving in. that town. Only a few places was lit up. One was way acrost the town square from me, and it was the tele phone -exchange, with a man operator reading; a book in there. The other was the telegraph room in the depot about a hundred yards from me, and they was only two fellers in it both smoking. The main business part of the town was built up around the square. I knowed they was likely a watch man somewheres about too. I guessed I wouldn't wander around none and run no chances of getting took ap by him. So I was getting ready to lay down on top of a level pile of boards and go to sleep when I hearn a cu rious kind of noise away off,, like it must be at the edge of town. It sounded like quite a bunch of cat tle might shuffling along a dusty road. The night was so quiet you could hear things plain from a long ways off. It growed a little louder and a little near er, and then, it struck a plank bridge somewheres and come acrost it with a clatter. Then I knowed it wasn't cattle. Cows and steers don't make that cantering' kind of noise as a rule; they trot It was hosses crossing that bridge, and they was quite a lot of em. As they struck the dirt road agin I hearn a shot ' And then another and another. Then a dozen all to oncet, and away off through the night a wo man screamed. Men's voices began to yell out They was the noise of people running along plank sidewalks and windows opening in the dark. Then with a rush the gal loping noise come nearer, come closer; raced by the place where I was hiding, and nigh a hundred men with guns swept right into the middle of that square and pulled their hosses up. CHAPTER XII. -Night Rider Work. DSEEN the feller from the tele phone exchange run down the street a little ways as the first ' rush hit the square and fire his pistol twice. Then he turned and made fur an alleyway, but as he turned they let him have it He throwed up . his arms and made one long stagger right acrost the bar of light that streamed out of the windows, and he fell Into the shadder, out of sight jest like a scorched" moth drops dead into' the darkness from a torch. Out of the middle of that bunch of riders come a big voice, yelling num bers, instead of men's names. Then different crowds lit out in all direc tions some on foot while others held their hosses fur they seemed to have a plan laid ahead. And then things began to happen. They happened so quick and with such a whirl it was all, unreal to me shots and shouts and windows breaking as they blazed away at the store fronts all around the square, and "orders and cuss words ringing out between the noise of shooting, and with electric lights shining on them as they tossed and trampled, and showing up masked faces here and there, and pounding hoofs and hosses screaming like hu mans with excitement and spurts of flame squirted sudden out of the ring of darkness round about the open place.
