One day Otto Holm proposed that they should see who could ride most quickly over a certain distance.

They all thought Otto’s idea a fine one, but again they said to Johnny, “Now don’t go and tattle about this at home, for then all the fun would be over.” “Well, I think I must go now,” he said, rising slowly. “I went back to the bunch and that night just after we’d hopped a freight at the water tank, I took a chance and jumped.

'One day, Oh! never shall I forget it, I went as usual to the confessional to acknowledge my sins. I knelt before the father with eyes bent towards the earth, and in a low voice proceeded to confess. I had but one crime to deplore, and that was the too tender remembrance of him for whom I mourned, and whose idea, impressed upon my heart, made it a blemished offering to God. Who else could help? “Yes, I think so. Reg’lar bandits—about fifty of ’em.” "There is no greater proof of intelligence, madam, than the belief that we have it not; it is the nature of that gift, that the more we have, the more we believe ourselves to be without it.".
