the every day communion with men, whose minds were
as broad as the plains they roamed, and whose creed was every man for
himself and every friend for each other, and with each other till the
end.

Another friend of the old times is Chas. R. Campbell, superintendent of
the Kelso mines. Chats with these good whole-souled people of the cattle
range bring back reminiscences of the past that would fill volumes but
space and time in these days of hustle and bustle are but dreams and the
world is full of them now.

I am at the present time connected with the General Securities Company
in Los Angeles. Mr. A. A. C. Ames is president; Mr. James O. Butler,
vice-president; Mr. Jacob E. Meyer, secretary, and Mr. Geo. W. Bishop,
treasurer. These gentlemen are always extremely kind to me and the
appreciation I feel for the kindnesses shown me will be fully rewarded.

As I stop to ponder over the days of old so full of adventure and
excitement, health and happiness, love and sorrow, isn't it a wonder
that some of us are alive to tell the tale. One moment we are rejoicing
that we are alive; the next we are so near the jaws of death that it
seems it would be almost a miracle that our lives be saved.

Life today on the cattle range is almost another epoch. Laws have been
enacted in New Mexico and Arizona which forbid all the old-time sports
and the cowboy is almost a being of the past. But, I, Nat Love, now in
my 54th year, hale hearty and happy, will ever cherish a fond and loving
feeling for the old days on the range, its exciting adventures, good
horses, good and bad men, long venturesome rides, Indian fights and last
but foremost the friends I have made and friends I have gained.
