TI1K IJOJS DElOSli
a capital sroitn
The scene was in Sacratllehfo street. In
fiont of a well known hotel- It was
twenty-two year ago, aud San Francisco
was in her infancy.. .
CLiiie a crowd had gathered on the
sirect, and the centre of attraction - whs a
big fellow, who stood with u newspaper in
hid hand, raving and cursing! ....-
"What's the mailer, Wolf?" asked a
new comer, who wad cvideully lamiiiar
with the irate man. . .
MfctUrf" returned Wolf, for, that
was the man's name, "matter enough
t. n rough enough it'll be for some folks
Tiie voting whelps that prints I li is paper
h is gone ant pub ished eemeihin 'bout
me. . O, I'll tix 'em. They, had belier
go an' ki I llu'in.-i ! ves alter teU minutes:
it'll reaeier fur 'cm."
Wolf was a noted desperado, w ho, it
was said, had killed "more than twenty
men, anU bjt few knew him who did not j
f.-ar him. liu waa at ih it lime chief of
a "an of loafers and :tuibleis that were
marly always to be found loafing in the
vicinity allud.d 1j, and disiuibing the
peace of .the whole neighboi hoiid daily
with riotous conduct." It there was any
law in thue dajs it was seldom executed
against such characteis, and in the full
consciousness lhat they were feared by
evt ry body t.iey did iretty much as they
p'e.tsed.
The newspaper which had given dead
ly t flense to Wolf was a little weekly
journal, and it3 ollioj waa in the second
stuyof a building on the s.tme sticet
wt.ii the hotel I have mentioned, and
only a few ruds distat.t. It was publish
ed by two young men or, I nnilit bay,
b ys for they were only eighteen and
twny years old, respectively named
D..r ell and K'-yncs. The paper and
us youthful prt piietuis were wtll known
iu the city ol San Francisco.
'Ihe article which had excited the
wrath of the rutri.iii Wolf was a bold
denunciation of hiuisell and his ciowd for
their lawless conduct, and it particularly
mentioned him by name, characterizing
him as a ' blustering bully." It was the
work of Darrel, a fearless boy hailing
trout one ol the Western Stales. liefote
leaving his home iu the Mississippi Yi.1
ley, he had atquiicd a fair educaliun, so
that he could at least edit a newspaper iu
those ettly days; aud lie possessed, be
sides, that 'courage and daring which
maj be natural iti ihe fust place, .and
which are more thoroughly dgvelopcd by
exposu'e to danger and hardships
Youn j lv tties was quite a dilkient kind
of pei son in poiut ot courage, being of an
unusually timorouB nature.
To return to the scone on Sacramcn
to sliec". Working himself up to Lis
very wot't mood and his bist was bad
eauugh, Heaven knows Wolf lore the
paper to atoms and started for the publi
cation tfhvt. He waa followed by a
cuiious rabble, most of w hom were elated
with the prospect of rnuidei, though thcie
were 8 me pieseut who would have remon
strated wi.h the eii hearted man, had
ihpy tlaicd. .
"Just you watch," gai I Wolf, as he
renclad the door, "if jou want to see
their bloody cate.isses' tumbie out o' the
winder I It won't b) long. I don't spend
much lims uu such feikrs.".
It was the intention of the cruel hearted
man to actjally cul the thtoats of the t-wo
bojitli journalists and throw their bodies
out of l tie window Tor tb-? grist'iliini'ioii of
the crowd and the further exahatioti of
his already fearful name. So, the mob
on the sited awaited the issue with fever
ish expectation, as . Wolf, flourishing his
knife and revolver, entered the rude frame
building and rushed up stairs.- ; .
All unconscious ot their danger, the
tw young editors were busily pursuirg
their work fu their piimi'ive i.tlico. . If
(hey hal hca:d the noisj wiihotjr, they
had paid no al tent ion to it, suppoMng it
was moiely a stieit row such as they
were, accustomed lo hearing eveiv day.
Driell was sitting at tt rude table writ
ing, and Kaynes was at the counter ar
rantng .iuids papers for the mail
fh y heard the clatter of heavy boots
on tlu stairs, but thought it was. some
rough miner coming, up to subset i be (or
the paper, or, peihaps, to see a lawyer
who occupied a couple t-f rooms on the i
same fljur; for the building was only a
two story one, and the" second fljor Was
occupied' exclusively by . ibeui . and an
attorney their rooms . being separated
from hia by a trairow hall-way that was
reached by the flight uf stairs alluded to.
' "Ah ha!: I've got ou, my young
imps !"; exclaimed the) desperado, bursi
g ' ' .V . ' , .V.
Iv;ync8 recognized, lnm . and turned
pale. JJeing at the counter, which faced
the dour and extended across the room,
ho was naturally the tirst mark of Wolfs
vengeance.- -f J- K
, Ye young' devils I' he hissed. 8cowl
in" like a'mad man, "'ve'H never 'write
nor print noihii.' tntirejbout me I" Here
hi nourished his knife and revolver above
his head. "I've got a sure lhin- oti bulb
orr je !" ' Saying this he" looked about
him, with h careful scrutiny, 'to see that
Ihcrewnsno means of escape for the quiet
youth' at tfielable, who, of course, 'would
not jump over the counter and try to p-tss
him, but would cower. down, in, a coruer
and take. his turn at beingkilled ; - then be
reached across the counter ad seized J
K aynea by the hair, which was, unfoi tu
la'ely,very lung. ' '" '
Coiling the terrified young rnan' Jocks
around ihe tiners'of iLe Tuft hand, Wolf
laid his revolver on ihe cuuuter, without
the hliohiest fpreheiii-ioiis that hisyoulh
ful advrreary would snatch rt u and use
it n hitn, as he might have tlone had he
pos3i'8cd the nerve,' then flouribliing his
hig gleaming knife deliberately, with pure
devili."hiiess, prolonging Kay lies' ' ten or
and piiiti.
"Nuw pray, you young un !" he hissed.
'.'Yvm've got. a couple ot ueconds or so left
just while I'm ciippiu Jt-r eats oil".
I'll lake .'etn oti' tirst, clean and smooth,

Such wasAVoira reliance on the terror
that his naaie everywhere inspired that
he hail never dreamed of leMslaiice. He
t-imply iuietided to butcher the twe young
men, aud eucli a thing as an obstacle
waMi"t to be thought of. Had Darrtll
possessed no more Leive than Kaynes
ihero call be no doubt "that ihey,LioiL
would have been murdeicd then and there.
iu exact accordance wi.h Wolf 8
pro-
Time !" he said, grinding his teeth in
an exiasy of rage, and drawing K.tynes'

countenance.

whimpered like a 6chool-boy.
".None o' yer lyin ! ' saiJ Wolf, fiercely,
"Ye boih wiole it, and ye ll both pay tor
it, darn )e!" Here he executed decided
circles wuh his Hashing Lnm, having evi
deutly prolungeJ the tortures, as much as
he dcMied, ' - ' ' '
"Here goes; look out when I count
three I" The kuile was ready to descend.
One two."
He stopped and started. He had not
observed the movemeuta ol Dai tell dui ii'i
the past lew secouds, and jut as be was
on the point of clipping ell K lynes' ear in
the polished manner he had decided upon,
he tound the muzzle of a gun tLrust almost
into his face.
It wi.s a loaded rifle which, luckily, a
iiietid of D .ui ell's h.td Ittl iu his keeping
that very moiiuug, while he went cut to
make some purchases, ' It had stood in a
corner of the room near his table, and
Dan ell had seized it, cocked and leveled
it with such dexterity that he had Wolf
coveted bofoie his movemeuts Were ob
seived; and he stood motionless as a
eiatue his cool eye on the sights and a
steady linger on the trigger.
'You' great bully," he said ; "drop
that knife instantly. Mind, I came from
a country where they shout stj-iirrels only
lliiouiili the eye. I ca.i hit rmy hair ot
your, big head lhat jou will mention at a

'Ihe rutii.m was taiiiy paialtKed. " lid
relaxed his grip on poor Kypes,' whofarik
fainting on the fi or, and his murderous
knife tell upon the counter. . So unex
pected was this, bold attitude of.Datrfcil
that Wolf was more startled than he would
have bceu if a dozen cf the roughest men
lit California had assailed him.
There stood iho boyish editor motion
less as the wall, and the muzzle of ihe
ntlj did. not move the breadlli of a buir.
Duirell held the life cf the ruffian iu his
hands., , ., ;;. ;
"You cowardly bully I ' he repeated
contemptuously. "Don"t move 1 can

Wolf glanced at his revolver lying upon
the counter, , within two feet ot hrs eye,"
but did not venture lo reach for it. 3i '
' ''Dare to touch fhat revolver -so much
as look at it agaixi"- said Darrell, "and
I'll make a led picture on the wall behiitd

.Wolf, trembling from i head to foot,
glanced once more at his revolver, but did
not dare to raise bis hand. "His face was
pale and his hps were dry. s
'Ij'o you hear me ?" - demanded Dar

r. Meekly obeying the imperative orders
of the, youth. Wolf moved slowly out of
the room into'jhe nartow corridor.
Be careful ; .don't don't let that gun
go otT." Wolf stammered, as he reached
the head of the stairs.
At 'this'monient the clamors of the im
patient crowd below arose with a terrible
distinctness, and one shrill voice was heard
to av ; ' ' -
""Hurry up, Wolf, why dou't you throw
them feller f ut f" . t. , .. .
Kxasperated beyond meajmre, he was
on the point of turning back,' at the risk
uf his ljfe, for , after, all his Xtragoadocia
how could he face those below, disarmed
nn! chased out of the building by cne of
those puny bojs he had intended so terri
bly to chastise. .
-liut DarrelUwaa afier him, and with
ne vigorous kick sent him heels over
head down the wotidsn stairs with a thun
tiering clatter, and rolling over the door
sill, the defeated bully" act irally tumbled
out upon the street before, he could rcCu7
er hi equilibrium. '
"''XIt-r.il ! How's this f Vv'hat's up ?"
asked a df zen voices at once, as the dread
ed man reappeared in his undignified shape
without having sent any corpses down
from the window. ,
Why, 1 sim;ly kicked him down stairs
(hat's what's the m titer !" responded
the boyifh "voice of Darrell at the head of
the stairs; -"and if he comes up here
again. I won't let him 1 if so easy. Doa't
be nfVaid of him ; I look all Lis weapons
ftom h'm."
Wolf struggled to hif feet, rubbing his
head; and presenting such" a ludicrous ap
pearance that, he was greeted with loud
jeers and bursts, of laughter. So com
pletely had he tumbled from his lofty
eminence in the e3'es of those who either
ad.-niied or feared a bold murderer, that
those who an hour aso would hare dieaded
to otrend him by word or look, now re
garded him only wi;h contempt laughed
at and dei ided him.
'Ila ! ha ! ha !"' resounded on all
sides. "Licked by a boy ! Hah! Kicked
down stairs by a child ! Got your bark
ers fuok from you! Where's your knife!
Whore's them corpfes? Ha, ha, ha!
Y"ou ought to be egged out of to wn! Three
groans for Wolf!" aud the three groans
were given with a will.
.'Three, cheers for the little boy who
licked himl" was responded to by three
loud and enthusiastic cheers.
Never before had the rough crowd seen
a man with an established reputation, like
Mr. Wolf, thus suddenly fall to such a
depth of degradation. All his name, fame,
prestige, melted away like mist, and he
was no longer feared 110 longer respected
by the low thieves and cut throats around
him only despised. Y"es, despised by
ihe meanest cteatuics, whom he had often
times bullied as though they had been
ho'iudn. ,
' How little, hew pusillanimous he looked
now' sis he plunk away toward Monfgt.m
ery street. Those who had known" bim
for Ihe last year aud regarded him as a
giant, now fancied lhat he stood barely
fivnfect tix in his boots. The dread that
had sui rounded his "name had cleared
away like'a vapor.
. j SjcIi was Wolf's mortification when he
cajm f iiily 'o realize wh.-u a piiabio figure
he cut, thai he left San Francisco and was
seen in her streets no moie. .The' fatality
which had apparently' thus far shielded
him in his murderous work now suddenly
deserteti him. He was destined never to
commit another murder ; but was himself
