His unmo was Phineas L'llsworth, but we boys nt tho "HX" ranch callfj hitn Wily Brag, for reasons which leu rain rrtes' conversation with him sronld make otrriona, even to n total f tranger. To ay tliat ho was opinionateti is drawing It Tory miM, and to stati that tho chief est of his Oiiinions m ths partieuUrly ezceilent ons be held of himself ia super fluous. Thoeo were humdrum, monotonous days at tho "HX," and there was scant opportauity for iiilly to exhibit the courage, prowess, skill, ability, and so forth, which wo had his own oft ro peoteil statements for it ho poMoaaed to a remarkable degree. Oncoln awhile sonietluui' would hap pen to relieve the monotony, hut Billy, sorrWiow or other, wus never on deck to show what ho was worth. Ho always turned up afterward with: "Hull! you galoots jes make mo ache all over! Wj any blooiuin tenderfoot c'd a tol' yo bet ter"n that!" or, "That wuz a fool trick. Now, cf I'd been thar I'd a did so an to' or, "Hnh! d'ye call that anythin tcr meushun! Wy, back tbar, on th' Keya Paha, we uacl t' let th' kids an wimmeu do that kind o' work." And so it went for n, arly a year, and though w e inveuUxl many a plan to give mur an oimortunity to show his worth. he managed, cm one pretext or another, to keep out of onr snares. One day Calo Bnelliug, wlip was out looking up soma Ftays, fell iu with a Maverick stocv feeding in a coulee, and thinking at first that it was an "HX" critter rodo toward it. But tho beast was what is known as a "baU un." and horns down and bellowing with rage he turned and charged on the startled cowboy. Calo tried to turn hi3 pony and run, bat tho animal was green and only reared and snorted. Cale thought he was about to take a place herding clouds, but he yanked hU gun and let co. catch ing the steer right between the eyes, and dropping it not more than ten feet away. Cale wa3 a bit new in the busmees. and he was rather pale when lie rode up to tho ranch ana related lus experience, but there was a trininphaut tone in his voice u lie told of his BUCCORsful shot from tho back of a bucking pony. Billy listened with a tuperior air. "Huhr ho remarked dhdainfully, "whad'je wanter kill Ira f er? Ye c'd iea well 'creased' an roped 'ira. Some folks never hcv no rgard for prop'ty. Waste not, want nothin." We all groaned and proceeded to con gratulate Calo on his luck, but Bill did not seem to care. Ho was getting used to onr irreverence. It may be noted. however, that when we tried next morn ing to get Billy to take a galloping shot at the stripe in a blanket nailed onto a shed door, to seo how near ho could have come to "creasing" a mad steer from the back of a fool pony, our propo sition met with scorn. "There ye go agin," said Billy. "What's th' blame use o wastin er wholo lot o' cVtridges jes" t' convince er mesa o' gabblin ogioU that er thing kin bo did? Aw, g-ofI an try poundin san in her rat liolo fer yer wits. Bet ye carn't even do that." And he rodo off, mncb offended. When Joo Fleming, brother of tho ban, and Hank Barr had a brush with half a dozen Indians, and jti6t escaped wfth their llvoa, leaving a bunch of fat cattle to be run off by Uncle Sam's dear, aweet protegiw, Billy's opinion was at otic forthcoming. "Hnh! Ye mout jet' 'z well tavod moa' o' th' critters an got them thievin red cusses too. Wy didn't ye, w'en yo seed 'em rldin down on ye, jeo' kill three or four critters, pile 'em np fer a barricade, an gira th' red devils rog'lar h 1? That'd ben bet ter'n loein th' hull bunch." Wlreu Bob nail, a cowboy from the "B Bar," the next ranch one of tho meanest, ugliest, most cmarrolsome bol Ilea who ever flourished a gun got killed at the hotel in town by an unof fending tenderfoot, whom lie had tried to compel to take a drink, Billy, aa usual, had something to say.

All the same, there was an old story to the effect that once, when Billy had been unaccountably absent from the ranch for three or four days, he had been in town.devotiug considerable attention to keeping out of tho belligerent Mr. Hall's way. But Billy's opportunity came one day. He bad been laid up a week and was still lame as the result of being on the eido next the ground when his pony stumbled and fell one day, and was sit ting at the door one morning abont 11:80 when the stage came along. Several of us were in the ranch house and were somewhat surprised to hear the wheel, ontolde, for the stage road was two tnCea from the ranch. Aa we orowded to the door we saw "something was up" for Dyer, the driver, looked excited. "Mornin, gentlemen," be said. And then to Bow Fleming: "Fleming, I ex pect t' be held np over b' Five Mile creek. Kin one o' th' boy. go with me? I'll get 'notber man at Parker's, an I reckon three'll be 'noogh." "Why, yes, of counw," m the reply; "you can have more if you want 'ton. HI go myself. But why didn't you bring guard, if you're carrying any val-nableaf' Highest of all In Leavening Powcr.- m HsV sv.

This morn ing he had started early, hoping to pass all the places favorallo to a "hold np" before Hie three tough looking gentle men had time lo get hn'oteil. He had felt a bit backward nlnnit hringlng guards, ss lie did not like to appear oow ardly, and besides his jit.piriniu might bo groundless and the laugh would bo on him. Thcro were no valuables except the mail bagi. Bnt the three strangi-vs had passed him a mile back, evidently in a hurry to get somewhere; hence his visit to the "HX." Fleming turid to get ready to gi he waa not the man to send somebody else into danger but was met at tbo door by Billy, "heeled" with two revolvers and a Winchester. "Hullo, man!" ejaculated Fleming. "Didn't yon hear me say I was going?" "Don't care ef ye did." answered Billy curtly. "Tli's plenty work t' do, an my laigs is too i,tiff t' straddle any blame broncho." And be climbed painfully up on to the driver's seat, and tho stage rolled away, leaving us storing at each other, unable to believo our eyos. Tho stngo did not reach the Fivo Mllo nor did it reach Parker's. At a place two miles west of the "HX," where the road traversed the edge of a bluff over hanging a deep ravine, there were three shots fired, and bravo Walt Dyer and his two team loaders fell into tho road. Then there were more shots a rattling fmiLvlo for two or threw minntes then silence. When wo got to the scene we saw Billy Brag lying acmes tho Ixxly of tho driver, supporting himself on ono elbow and keeping "tho drop" on a man who stood holding np one arm tho other was shattered and hnng limp. Two dead men bosidon Dyer lay in tho road. Tho wheelers were quiet now, but their hoofs bad cruelly mangled tho bodies of their prostrato comrades in front. "I knowod yo'd come, boys," said Billy, "elso I'd bed f kill this 'nn, 'stead o' savin 'im fer a leetlo necktie party. They got Dyer fnst lick, but w'en they run np agin Phin Ellsworth, they kotched er h 1 ov er feller. Guess 1 kin dio off real peaceful now." But he did not die.

Hands employed in clipping, washing, packing and preparing finally for shipment abroad get from fifty cents to seventy-five cents pox day of ten hours. Tho amount earned by the men who go fishing for spongca cannot be given, aa their pay depends entirely on tho number of sponges obtained. The owner of tho vessel fits her out at his own expenso, and tho profits of the voyage are divided up Insharos among the owner, tho master and tho men. They ara never hired by tho month, nor do they ever got specified wages. The most that can bo said is that the men make a tolerable living, and the sponge fisherman who earns over $300 a year is the exception. The owners of th. veanels, as a rule, have their own ships, from which tho vessels aro fit tol out, and on supplies thus furnished the owne: makes u profit in addition to others. The shipowners, generally speaking, find con siderable profit in the business, while ths fishermen, it not ablo to lay up any money from tho pursuit, are yet enabled to rely upon it for a moderate living.

Where such an appliance is required tbe work is placed on a table or a block reeling upon it, ami tbe piece to be drilled is held by the operator and the table is raised by means of the knees to feed tho work to the drill. This construction leaves both hands of the operator at liberty to handle tbe work, and at the same time permit a great degrea of sensitiveness, since tbo resistance can bo felt by tbe knees and tho upward pressure regulated accord ingly.

Kldn of a 91uch-Mnntel Question, A woman, driven by the vicissitudes of Ufa to throw her home open to boarders, finds tho experience, as most other wom en who try it do, difficult, to say the least. But she says philosophically: "I am learning human nature. I have discov ered that the soft voiced, refined look ing woman oft-n carries tigerish claws beneath her velvet, and that the fi ank looking, well dressed man may develop into a 'Meddleomo Matty' before my eyes. I don't know why humanity should beoonie brutal when It essays boarding, but it seems to. A woman called re cently, liked my apartments, and re turned to the parlor to 'talk business,' as she said, with an engaging smile. " 'Business' meant a series of search ing, relentless questions and exactions which set my cheeks aflame and filled my eyes with hot tears of mortification. Did I Intend purchasing n new carpet for tho parlor? Were my stairs and halls usually kept somewhat cleaner than thev appeared that day? Were my beds clean? Did I have two kinds of meat for dinner? Use homemado broad entirely, and, fin ally, did a maid open tho front door as a rule? This was a gratuitous imperti nence. "I was taking tho letters from the postman as she came up the steps, and naturally received her. And then she went away, after taking three names as references. I insisted in turn tliat Bhe should give me one, that of a former landlady, and it was one of the small compensations of my lot, when she wrote mo a wecklater that Bhe found my refer ences satisfactory and would take tho rooms, to reply that I bad found her reference most unsatisfactory and was sure I could not tolorato her exactions. "A man came to mo the other night, and after forcing my price down as low as ho could, asked mo if my husband was a Christian, if my family attended churoh and Sunday school, if my other boarders were God fearing people, and if Sunday was observed with religions quiet by everybody in the house. "People ask mo to take them cheaply because they are saving to buy a homo or because the husband has extra office expenses or, as ono gushing creature told me, 'because we want to go to Europe next summer.' The more they want tho less they want to pay. Look at tho ad vertisements for 'board wanted,' 'ovory thlng unexceptionable,' and 'terms mod erate.' "Would these people think of going into a .hop and saying, 'I wi your most expensive good, at a low price?' Yet they do precisely that with mo. Sur roundings, appointments and service that mean a serious outlay they demand and aro not willing to pay for. They cannot afford to keep up nn establishment to their liking, and they ask me to do it for them without adequate compensation. The avorago man or woman seems to part with his courtesy, sense of justice and humanity when ho starts out to be come a boarder." Her Point of View In New York Timea. The Neglect of tho Feet. Far too little has ever been said or written regarding tbo proper treatment of tbo feet, when we consider the amount of Buffering that may bo occasioned by their abuse. As tho health of any and all part of tho body depends upon tho caro taken of each, either voluntarily or unconsciously, it is a marvel that the feet aro not oven more freqn.ntly dis figured by growths that injure tho entire system and, perhaps, permanently cripplo the limbs. Races that live in a state of nature havo almost invariably (except in case of accident or natural deformity) shapely andeerviceablefeetin proportion to their general comeliness and physical perfection; therefore, it must bo the cov erings placed by civilized man upon his pedal extremities which cause all his de fects in this direction. If our hands were thickly clad in firm, tight fitting skins and fabrics for eight een hours in every twenty-four they would soon become, to quoto Ilmkin, "aa ugly as the naked feet of prosperity." When thus surrounded by coverings that aro well nigh impervious to tho air, the pores of tlio feet do not act properly and become unhealthy, while the feet themselves grow callous and develop those ill natured and wondrous painful excrescences known as bunions and corns.
