    AS

JENNY LAWRENCE.

8

   UTAH.

The methods of "Black" Brown.

9 Little Jenny Lawrence

Finds Herself Alone

10

Mrs. Lawrence's last words 

to me were, "Send Jenny to her uncle, who left for the gold fields of California two months ago".

11

I should like to go to my 

Uncle John in California.

12 The Rush for Gold.

13 JOHN LAWRENCE.

14

Jenny, your uncle'll be

so proud of you when he takes you to a ball!

15 "Black" Brown Feels the

 Long Arm of the Law.

16 Dead Man's Shoes

17

I wrote your uncle a

week ago when to expect you. Tell him to write me all about the wonderful West!

18

Boys, I reckon the Injuns

beat us to it.

19

                 A Month It

Takes for Jenny to Reach the Enchanted Land of Gold: Start- ing on an Overcrowded Little "Side-Wheeler"; Then by Mule Across the Isthmus of Panama; Then More Boats to 'Frisco -

   and More to Sacramento -
      Whence All Roads Lead
         to the "Diggings".

20

        A hundred and fifty

dollars to "Strawberry Flats" - why I haven't that much money left!

21

                     A Month It

Takes for "Black" Brown to Cross the Plains on Horseback and to Reach the Little Mining Town of Strawberry Flats. A Month - and a Day - to Establish a

 New, Respectable Identity,
        Which Covers a Mul-
         titude of Sins.

22

This stuff came from the

Sacramento stage - take it to 'Frisco and change it to coin.

23

I gave you ten bags 

after the hold-up - - where's the rest of 'em?

24 But in Strawberry Flats - the People Greet Mr. John

  Lawrence of Boston.

25

Step up, boys, the home

mail's in!

26

Mr. "John Lawrence,

Esquire".

27

Mr. "John Lawrence,

Esquire".

28

I wonder if you could 

direct me to the cabin of Mr. John Lawrence - I seem to be lost!

29 Girl - at cabin!

30 Where is my uncle?

31 I'm your uncle.

32

Your uncle's dead: I'm

John Lawrence in these diggings - - and I'm not going to let any fool kid spoil my game!

33 You - killed him!

34

An arrow did this - not

a bullet!

35

If you'll keep your mouth 

shut and stay here as my "niece" - I won't harm you any. But if not - -

36 Try this one - - it's loaded!

37

I'm going to give you a

chance to tell 'em all about me!

38

The "Hell" of

Strawberry Flats.

39

Here's your chance - -

now tell 'em!

40 Jenny - tell 'em who I am!

41 He is - - my uncle!

42 Cold Comfort.

43

Your nerves are busted -

you'd better go to bed!

44 With the Dawn Came

Primitive Hunger.

45

Bless us, O Lord, and

these Thy gifts which we are about to receive - -

46

"And Evening and 

the Morning Were the

    First Day."

47

My pardner's bringin'

down our "dust" from the diggin's tomorrow - - and I reckon, as sheriff, you'd better keep sober long enough to ride out and meet it!

48

Tomorrow - mules bring

much gold from diggin's.

49

I dropped in thinkin' mebbe

yer uncle might like to see a Sacramento noospaper!

50 Now put up your hands!

51

It's time you were in 

bed, Jenny.

52

You stay here - - I'll

sleep in the shed.

53 At the "Diggings".

54

Me and me pardner's

"cleaned up"-and tomorrow we're goin' home!

55

Take your things out of

that closet. I haven't room for all my clothes!

56 The Travelling Auction.

57

My uncle was coming to

town - - have you seen him?

58

I'm goin' back home when 

my pardner gets in with our gold - - and I hope you'll forget about the other night.

59

I done my best, pardner

- - but we've been robbed!

60

Where was - - the

sheriff?

61

It don't do no good to kill

the sheriff, Boys - - what we need is a "Vigilance Committee"!

62

Wouldn't your little girl

like a doll to play with?

63 The Gulf Between.

64

He said to bring it to my 

"little girl" - - and as it was about your size - I brought it!

65 How did you get them?

66

You killed that boy - as

surely as if you had shot him!

67

I love you - do you

understand! Promise me you'll help me, and I'll play straight!

68

Will you send this gold

back to that boy's mother?

69 No Luck.

70 Under the Stern Lash of Necessity - Jenny Becomes

   the Provider.

71

Gentlemen, have you any

shirts you'd like washed and ironed?

72 The Wash-lady.

73

New Overland Stage

makes first trip tomorrow - - much gold!

74

Ask the wash-lady at

your cabin how much I owe her.

75 Under the Redwoods.

76

Miss Jenny, it breaks

my heart to see you killin' yerself for that good-for- nothin' uncle o' yourn!

77 He's not good-for-nothing!

78

You rob stage-coach - get

lots of money - - for girl!

79 Just this - - once!

80

I'm awful sorry I offended

you, Miss Jenny - and I come to ask you to go to the picnic - - the stage leaves in half an hour.

81

There's a picnic today at

Indian Bar - - and I thought maybe you might take me!

82

I've changed my mind,

Mr. Lyn - - I'd like to go with you to the picnic!

83 The Overland Stage.

84 The Night Summons of the

 Vigilance Committee.

85

Boys - I reckon we've 

corralled "Black" Brown!

86

That gold - - came from

the Overland Stage!

87

If he's wounded in the

hand he's our man. Wait here for me.

88

I'd rather take in washing

the rest of my life than let you be a thief!

89

I hope nothin's ailin' yer

hand!

90

I am on the level, Jenny

girl - - and I'll prove it to you if you'll only marry me and let me get a fresh start!

91

Here's the gold - now

will you let him go?

92

There's something you 

don't know: I'm not his niece - I've been living at the cabin just to be near him because - I love him!

93

Shall we let her say 

goodbye to him?

94

We're going to let you

marry that cuss - and gives you a chance to make him straight!

95

As Justice of the Peace

of Calaveras county - I pronounce you man and wife!

96

Boys - I reckon when

twenty men have been fooled by one small woman - - they'd better take their medicine!

97 THE END.
