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

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,

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. "Huh!

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.

characters in town, and observed that
they eyed him considerably. This morn
ing he had started early, hoping to pass
all the places favorallo to a "hold np"

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

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.

Billy, "elso I'd bed f kill this 'nn, 'stead

KEEPINQ BOARDERS.
Th. ltoanllnc Home Wnui.n'. 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. Delineator.

goin ter be soma fun, bnt I was a bit
afraid that Bob was a goin to shoot; but
be didn't. Ho Just yells iu the door, "Tlie

When Wigs Were ropsilar.
Writers transmit to us some ourlcraa
facts In regard to the demand aad sup

fashion. The trade in wigs, for France
supplied all the rest ot Europe, became
immouso, and was represented in Paris
by a large number of wholesale mer
chants, who employed cutters to operate
In the provinces, especially in Normandy,
Flanders and Holland, where the hair of
tho women was finer. Tho hair of warm
countries was not wanted, booausa too
coarso. English women and girla did
not care to part with their hair, and
were not so poor as to be forood to the
sacrifice. Soma village, in Normandy
furnished as muoh as ten pounds, aver

The price was from four to five francs
a pound, and it wns cut from 'tho heads

One of tho wars of the roses, the fierc
est and deadliest of them all, was fought
on a field where, curiously enough, a
rose peculiar to the spot grows or u.od
to grow. It is a rare plant now, and the
reason is explained by Mr, Leadmem in
his account of Yorkshire battles. After
describing tho terrible battle at Towton
on Palm Sunday, 1461, be says: "I can
not ooncludo this story of Towton field
without au allusion to the little dwarf
bushes peculiar to the 'Field of tho
White Rose and the Red.'

The Growth of Crystals.
Some crystals, it is believed, have had
their growth suspended during millions
of years, after which enormous lapse of
time tha growth has been renewed. Such
a process would bo impossible to animals
and plants, although soma imaginative
story writers hove treated their readers
to wonderful accounts of suspended ani
mation in man.
In ono respect crystals possess a great
advantage over living beings like our

of crystallization aro able to renew their

crystal ha. been destroyed through age
or accident. Yonth's ComDanion.

A clergyman not long since observed a
horso jockey trying to toko in a simple
gentleman by imposing upon him a
broken winded horse for a sound one.
The parson, taking the gentleman aside,
told him to be cautious of tha person he
was dealing with. The gentleman de
clined tha purchase, and tha jockey,

much rather hear you preach that; to see
you privately interfere iu bargains be

"Well," replied tho parson, "if you bad

Kowed Forty Mile, for Amus.m.ut,
Willis Holly, Mayor Grant', secretary.
used to amuse himself by rowing around
Staten Island whenever he got a holiday
from his arduous newspaper work a few
years ago. He did not row very fast,
but be always made a complete circuit
of ths island. I think the distance is
about forty miles; at any rate, I know
that Mr. Holly had to rise before day
light in order to get home with tha cows
in the evening. It is a feat that he used
to speak of with a proud, beaming eve.
and I never wondered at it. I must say,
however, tliat in the course of seven or
eight years' consideration ot the subject.
I nave never been able to understand
exactly why a man should care to row
