CHAPTER　I。

My　brother　had　just　been　appointed　Secretary　of　Nevada　Territoryan
office　of　such　majesty　that　it　concentrated　in　itself　the　duties　and
dignities　of　Treasurer；　Comptroller；　Secretary　of　State；　and　Acting
Governor　in　the　Governor's　absence。　　A　salary　of　eighteen　hundred　dollars
a　year　and　the　title　of　〃Mr。　Secretary；〃　gave　to　the　great　position　an
air　of　wild　and　imposing　grandeur。　　I　was　young　and　ignorant；　and　I
envied　my　brother。　　I　coveted　his　distinction　and　his　financial　splendor；
but　particularly　and　especially　the　long；　strange　journey　he　was　going　to
make；　and　the　curious　new　world　he　was　going　to　explore。　　He　was　going　to
travel！　　I　never　had　been　away　from　home；　and　that　word　〃travel〃　had　a
seductive　charm　for　me。　　Pretty　soon　he　would　be　hundreds　and　hundreds　of
miles　away　on　the　great　plains　and　deserts；　and　among　the　mountains　of
the　Far　West；　and　would　see　buffaloes　and　Indians；　and　prairie　dogs；　and
antelopes；　and　have　all　kinds　of　adventures；　and　may　be　get　hanged　or
scalped；　and
