PART I.
One day at Nampn, which Is In Idaho,
a ruddy old massive Jovial man stood
by the Silver City stage, pnttlnR his
beard with his left hand and with his
right the shoulder of a boy who stood
beside him. He had come with the hoy
on the branch train from Boise, be
cause he was a careful Gorman and
liked to say everything twice; twice at
least when It was a matter of business.
vThls was a matter of very particular
business, and the German had repeated
himself for nineteen miles. Presently
the east bound on the main line would
arrive from Portland: then the Silver
City stage would take the boy south on
Ills new mission, and the man would
Journey by the branch train back to
Uolse. From Boise no one could say
where ho might not go, west or east.
He was n great and pervasive cattle
man In Oregon, California and other
places. Vogel and Lex; even today you
may hear the two ranch partners spok
en of. So the veteran Vogel wns now
once more going over his notions and
commands to his youthful deputy dur
ing the last precious minutes until the
cast bound should arrive.
"Und If you only haf somedlng like
dls," said the old man, as ho tapped his
beard and patted the boy, "It would be
five hundert more dollars salary In
your llddle pants."
The boy winked up at his employer.
He had a gray, humorous eye; ho was
fillm and alert, like a sparrow-hawk;
the sort of boy his father openly re
joices In and his mother Is secretly In
prayer over. Only the boy had neither
father or mother. Since twelve he had
looked out for hlmself.ncvcr quite with
out bread, sometimes attaining cham
pagne; getting along variously on
horse or afoot In his American way,
across legions of wide plains and
mountains, through towns where not
a soul knew his name. He closed one
of his gray eyes at his employer and
beyond that made no remark.
"Vat you mean by dat vlnk, any
how?" demanded the elder.
"Say," said the boy, confidentially.
"Honest, now. How about you and
me? Five hundred dollars If I had
your beurd. You've got a record, and
I've got a future. And my bloom's on
me rich, without a scratch. How many
dollars you glf me for dat bloom?" The
sparrow hawk sailed Into a freakibh
Imitation of his master.
"Your are a llddle rascal!" cried the
master, shaking with entertainment.
"Und If der peoples vas to hear you
sass old Max Vogel In dls style they
would bay; "Poor old Max; he lose his
gr-rlp.4 Hut I don't lose It. Haf you
understand that?"
"Yes, sir."
"How old are you, son?"
"Nineteen, sir."
"Oh, my! that Is oflle yoonff for the
Job I glf you. Some of dose men you
go to boss might be your father. You
go to set an example where one Is
needed very bad. If those men see jrou
drink a llddle, they diink a big lot.
You forbid them, they laugh at you.
You must not allow one drop of whisky
at the whole place. Haf you under
stand?" "Yes, sir. Mo and whisky nro not
necessary to each other's happiness."
"It Is not to you, It Is them. How are
you mlt your gun?"
The boy took his pistol with sol
emnity. He fired at an empty bottle
which was sticking In the thin, De
cember snow, and the gloss splintered
Into shapelessness.
"You are a darllpg," said Mr. Vogel.
"Glf me dat lofely weapon."
A fortunate store) of bottles lay,
leaned, or stood about In the whlto
snow of Nampa ,and Mr. Vogel began
at them,
"May I ask If anything Is the mat
ter?" Inquired a mild voice from the
stage.
"Stick that Illy head Indoors," shout
ed Vogel; and the face and eyeglasses
withdrew again Into the stage. "The
school teacher, he will be beautlfool
virtuous company for you at Malheur
agency," continued Vogel, shooting
again; and presently the large old
German destroyed a bottle with a
crashing smack. "Ah!" wild he. In unl
eon with the smack. "Ah-ha! No von
shall say der old Max lose his grip. I
shoot It efry time now, but the train
she whistle. I hear- her." The boy af
fected to listen earnestly.
"You listen to me," he continued to
the boy. "You are otlle young. Hut I
THE BOY WINKED UP AT HIS EM-
PLOYER.

you work mlt my stock on the Owyhee
and the Malheur. I see you mlt my
Oder men. My men, they say always
more and more: 'Young Drake ho Is a
Boot one,' und I think you are a goot
one mine own self. I am the biggest
cattle man on the Pactfla slope, und I
nm also an old devil. I have think a
(oi, una i line you."
"I'm obliged to you, sir."
"Shut oop. I like you, und therefore
I make you my new superintendent at
my Malheur Agency r-ranch mlt a big.

xou mane thoso men nt Malheur
lAgpncy behave themselves und I
r-ralsc you. Only I do vlsh, I dn cer
tainly vlsh you had some beard on that
young chin."
The boy glanced nt hli pistol.
"No, no, my son," said the sharp, old
German. "I don't want gunpowder In
dls affair. You must act kvlet and do
clslf und keep your little shirt on.
What you accomplish shootln'? You
kills somebody, und then, pop! some
body kills you. What goot Is all that
nonsense to mo?"
"It would nnnov me some, too," re
torted the boy, eyeing tho capitalist.
"Don't leave me out of tho proposi
tion." "Proposition! Proposition! Now you
get hot mlt old Max for nothing."
"If you don't contemplate trouble,"
pursued the boy, "what was your point
Just now In sampling my maiksman

rection of the shattered bottle. "It's

"WHY, HELLO!" SHOUTED VOGEL.
ranch. Hut if no gunpowder goes
along with me, either let's call the deal
off. Buy tome other fool."
"You haf not understand, my boy.
Und you get very hot because I happen
to make that llddle Joke about some
body killing you. Was you thinking,
may be old Max not care what happen
to you?"
A moment of silence passed before
the answer came: "Supposing we talk
business."
"Very well, very well. Only notice
this thing. When oder peoples talk oop
to me like you haf done many times. It
Is not they who does the getting hot.
It is me, old Max. You Invite mo to buy
some oder fool. Oh. my boy, I w... buy
no oder fool except you, for that was
Just like me when I was yoong Max!"
Again the ruddy and grizzled magnate
put his hand on the shoulder of the
boy, who stood looking away nt the
bottles, at the railroad tiack, at any
thing save his employer.
The employer proceeded: "I was
afraid of nobody and nodding in thoso
days. You art- afraid of nobody mil
nodlng. But tho3i days was different.
There was Indians, there was otlle bad
white men, und If you was not oillo
yourself, you anlsh qulckli,"
The magnate smiled a broad, fond
smllo over tho past he had kicked,
dilven, shot, bled and battled through
to pow er; ar.d the boy w inked up at him
again, now.
"I don't propose to vanish myself,"
said he,
"Ah-nh! you was no longer mad mlt
der old Max! Of coorso I caie what
happen to you. I was alone In tho
world myslef In those lofely, wicked
days."
Hcservo again set the boy's face.
"Ncidcr did I talk about my feelings,"
continued Max Vogel, "but I nefer show
them too quick. Now I talk buslnet-3
mlt you where you interoopt me. If
cowboys was not so ullle scaico In tho
country, I would long ago haf bounce
the lot of those drunken fellows. But
they cannot bo spared, we must get
along so. I -cannot tend Brock, ho Is
needed at Hauler's. The dumb, fellow
at Alvord lake lb too dumb; lie Is not
quickly coor.iglous. They would play
high Jinks mlt him. Therefore I send
you. Brock, he say to mo you haf Joodg
ment. I watch; und 1 say to myself.
4aUso, this boy hat goot Joodgment. Unl
when you look at your pistol so quick,
I tell you quick I don't SJiid you to kill
men when they are so scarce already!
My boy, it Is ever the moral, the say
uoding strength what gets there mlt
always the llddle pUtol behind. In case;
Joost In case. Haf you understand?
I ask you to shoot. 1 see you know how,
as Brock told me. I recommend you let
them see that nggonipllshnicnt In a
friendly way. Maybe a shooting match
mlt prizes I pay for them pretty soon
after .you come. Und Joodgment; und
Joodgment. Here cornea the train. Haf
you veil understand?"
Upon this the two shook hands, look
ing square friendship In each other's
eye3. The cast-bound, long, quiet and
dark beneath Ha flowing clots of smoke,
slowed to a halt. A few valises nnd legs
descended, ascended, herding and hur
rying; a few trunks were thrown re
soundingly In and out of tho train; a
woolly crooked old man onmo with a
box and a bandana bundle from tho
f.econd-class car; the travelers of a
thousand miles looked torpidly at him
through the Jaded windows of their
(Pullman, and settled Again for a thous
and miles more. Then the eaat-bound
shooting heavier clota of smoke labor
iously Into tho air, drew Its slow
length out of Nampa, and away.
"Where's that stage?" slirllleU tho

woolly old man, "That's what I'm
after."
"Why, hello!" shouted Vogel. "Hello,
Uncle Pasco! I heard you was dead,"
Uncle Pasco blinked hl small eyes
to see who hailed him.
"Oh," said he, In hl light, crusty
voice. "Dutrhy Vogel. No. I nln't
dead .You guessed wrong. Not dead.
Help me up, Dutchy."
A tolerant smile broadened Vogel's
face. "It wn ten years since I see
you," said ho carrying tho old man's
box.
"Shouldn't wonder. Maybe It'll bo
another ten till you see me next." He
stopped by the stage step, and wheel
ing nimbly, surveyed his old-time ac
quaintance, tho good hat, tho prosper
ous wntch chain, the big, well-blackened
boots. "Not seen mo for ten
years. Ilce-hce! No. ITsen't to have
a cent more than me. Twins In pover
ty, that's how Dutchy and me started,"
"I stick to von business at a time,
uncle," said good-natured, successful
Max.
A dicker of aberration lighted In the
old man's, eye. "H'm, yes," said he,
pondering. "Stuck to one business. So
you did. H'm." Then, suddenly sly,
ho chirped; "Uut I've struck It rich
now." He tapped his box. "Jewelry,"
he halt whispered. "Miners and cow
boys." "Yes," said Vogel. "Those poor, de
luded fellows, they buy such stuff."
And he laughed at tho seedy visionary
who had begun frontier life with him
on 'the bottom lung und would end It
there. "Do you play that concertina
yet, uncle?" he Inquired.
"Yes, yes, I always play. It's here
with my toothbrush and socks." Uncle
Pasco held up tho bandana. "Well,
he's getting ready to start. I guess I'll
bo climbing Inside. Holy Gertrude!"
This shrill comment was at sight of
tho schoolmaster, patient within the
"HELLO, UNCLE PASCO."
stage. "What business are you In?"
demanded Uncle Pasco.
'1 am In the spelling business," re
plied tho other, and smiled faintly.
"Hell!" said Uncle Pasco. "Take
this." He handed his bandana to the
traveler, who took it politely. Max
Vogel lifted the box of cheap jewelry
and both he and tho boy camo behind
to boost the old man upon the stage
step. But with a nettled look he leaped
up to evade them, tottered half way
and then, light as a husk of grain, got
himself to his seat and scowled at the
schoolmaster.
Vogel held a llask in his hand. He
reached It to his new superintendent.
"Drink hearty." said he. "More, son!
Don't be shy. Haf you forgot It Is for
bidden fiult after now?"
"Kid sworn off?" Inquired Uncle Pas
co of the schoolmaster,
"I undet stand,' replied this person,
"that Mr. Vogel will not allow his cow
boys at the Malheur agency to have
any whhsky brought there. Personally,
I feel gratified." And Mr. Bolles, the
now schoolmaster, gave his faint smile.
"Oh!" muttered Uncle Pasco. "For
bidden to drink whisky on the ranch?
H'm." His eyes wandered to the Jew
elry box "H'm," s-ald he, again; and,
becoming thoughtful, he laid back his
moth-eaten, sly head and spoke no fur
ther with Mr. Bolles.
Dean Drake climbed into the stage
and the vehicle started.
"Goot, luck, goot luck, my son!"
shouted the hcaity Max, looking after
the stage. "I hope he come back,"
said he. "I think ho come back. If ho
come, I r-ralse him llfty dollais with
out any beard."

AMUSEMENTS.
At the Frothlngham theatre to-day
two productions will be given of Hoyt's
most amusing comedy, "A Texas
Steer." For the first time In tho his
tory of the play It will be presented at
the matinee to-day nt 10, 20, 30 and 50
cents, which could only be accom
plished by the theatre management
purchasing all the rights In the per
formance, as otherwise Mr. Hoyt
would not consent to play at those
prices. Amusement goers In all the
large cities are familiar with the
theme and general scope of now what
Is generally conceded to be the master
piece of this successful author. At the
evening performance regular prices
will prevail.
This evening "A Nation Exiled." a
drama that Is the joint work of M. J.
Coyne and James Flynn, of this city,
will have Its first production on any
stage. The Academy of Music has been
selected ns the place for the debut of
the new drama, which will be pre
sented under the auspices of the
Columbus Council, Young Men's Insti
tute, of the South Side. The drama
Illustrates the condition of the Irish
peasantry during tho trying periods
In Ireland when English avarice sup
planted Justice and the Irish wore the
victims of their cruelty. The features
which usually environ nn Irish drama
are omitted and every successive por
tion of the production awakens new
Interest until the finale clinches the
whole and leaves the lesson Intended
firmly Impressed on tho minds of all.
Many catchy specialty features will be
produced.
"A Divorce Cure," the merry comedy
reveletlon, which has met with un
stinted praises since Its production by
the distinguished comedienne, Emily
Bancker, several months ago, will be
Introduced to Scranton for tho first
time at the Academy of Music
AVednesday, April 21. It comes her
alded as one of the most popular hits
of tho season. The story It tells Is a
pretty one. sparkling in Its originality,
and sclntlllant in Its constructive in
genuity. It is singularly devoid of the
conventional and commonplace, having
no villain, no trnglc element and noth
ing suggestive of the familiar lines
upon which other dramatic composi
tions of tho day are constructed, but
It is plethoric with sweetness and hu
manity and flows In a palpitant vein
of light, rippling humor.

Wednesday evening by Charles Froh
man's, New York company, discusses
one of the oldest questions that has
agitated humanity, but It does so In
a way so new, delicate, fascinating and
yet forceful as to mako It appear one
that has arisen In the moment, and to
set the audience flaming with a de
lro to see It settled, and In the way
laid down by the famous author of the
play. It In declared by the critics,
and It will so prove Itself hero, not to
bo In nny way didactic, for It hides Itn
problem In tho guise of one of the
most absorbing and Intensely human
stories ever told from the stage.
Ross Sydell's London Belles will np
pcar at tho Davjs theater, commencing
today, Easter Monday, matinee. The
performance begins with a laughable
skit called "Widow Winn's Reception,"
In which Itose Sydall, Eva Allen, char
acter comedienne; W. S. Campbell and
Billy Hart, clever comedians, figure
prominently. They arc supported by
the full strength of tho company which
Includes a bevy of handsome girls. In
the olio will appear the four emperors
of music, a quartette of high class ran
suclans nnd comedy entertainers, Hart
and Wnlllng In a new novel sketch,
Campbell and Shepp, German comed
ians; Frye and Allen, sketch artists
and vocalists. The finale of the show
Is an uproarious burlesque called the
"Isle of Sham Pain." It abounds In
side-splitting situations, catchy music
and taking specialties. It Is staged
with elaborate settings and the girls of
tho company wear some stunning costumes.
To Dostroy the ofOrdor Iodoform.
It Is said that tho dlsagrecablo odor
of Iodoform may bo completely removed
from mortars, spatulas and other uten
sils used In compounding Iodoform com
binations by simply adding a little tur
pentlno to tho water used In washing,
with soap, and rinsing well. This might
bo found useful In removing tho odor of
Iodoform from tho hands.

Truth.
THU LAZY MAN.
I'm the laziest man, I reckon, that a mor
tal ever seed!
Got money? Nary a dollar! I wasn't
ibullt for greed,
Per gra-stln' and fcr grlpln' where tho rev
enue Is found;
I'm what you call a lazy 'un Jes built
fer lyln' round!
Contented? Mighty right I am; when
spring winds whlstlo sweet.
In tho meadows whero tho daisies mako
a carpet for your feot;
Whero tho nestln' birds are chlrpln';
where the brook, in wltchln' play,
Goes laughln' on a-pushln' all tho llllles
out of his way,
You'll find mo almost any time a lyln' at
my ease.
With the lull song o tho locust and the
drowsy drone o' bees
Abovo mo and aroun' me; I'm a poet in
my way.
And I'd rather hear tho birds sing 'an
to shoot 'em any day!
"Jes" laziness," they tell me, an' I reckon
they aro right;
But tho world's so full o' beauty, an' you
can't seo much at nlchtl
But different folks has different minds,
nor drink from the same cup;
When I'm talkln to the llllles, they're a-
plowln' of 'em up.
My field's a pasture for tho cows, an
though It never pays,
It't a source o' pleasuro to mo Jes tcr
see tho creatures graze!
Tho tinkle, tlnklo o' tho bells Is such a
pleasln' sound,
But I'm a lazy chap, you know, jes' built
for lyln' round!
