"He'll come back fast enough," asserted the perpetrator of the "joke." "It's thirty dry and dusty miles to the water-hole ranch. When he gets a look at how far it is to-morrow mornin' he'll sure back into the fence and come flyin' for Antelope with reins draggin'. Set 'em up again, Joe." Owing to his unaccustomed potations Sundown was perhaps a trifle over-zealous in taking the road at night.

"Heaven forgive you, Sir Traveller!" said the hermit, whose own noise, and perhaps his nocturnal potations, prevented from recognising accents which were tolerably familiar to him "Wend on your way, in the name of God and Saint Dunstan, and disturb not the devotions of me and my holy brother."
