One day he overtook a stranger on his way to Red Dog.

The stranger afterward related that Tennessee beguiled the time with interesting anecdote and reminiscence, but illogically concluded the interview in the following words: "And now, young man, I'll trouble you for your knife, your pistols, and your money.

You see your weppings might get you into trouble at Red Dog, and your money's a temptation to the evilly disposed.

I think you said your address was San Francisco.

I shall endeavor to call." It may be stated here that Tennessee had a fine flow of humor, which no business preoccupation could wholly subdue.
This exploit was his last.
