THE NOTCHED BOWIE KNIFE.
It's all according to "here a man is. If
you looee your character in the east it is
a good thing to go w est, either w ith the
w ish to retrain it or the desire to be in a
place where Ice! character are not of much
aii-our.L But there is such a thing as
getting a character in the west w hiih
ueceNiitates either your going farther w et
or going east to lose yourself in a crowd.
There's a good deul of probability that
the elder Sam F1.k1 went back to New
York because he found the west, as he
knew it, a grtat deal too hot for hiin.
Fur young Sam, w hen he in after years
tent test, heard strauge tales about a
certain Sam Flood. He didn't know for
dead certain whether it was his father or
coL Too much time had paaeed to iden
tify him by looks, and the old man had
kept bis own counsel. But the Sam
Flood that young ain heard of was a
very bad man indeed. He was something
like Ben Thompson, who would shout au
unarmed man. He was pretty near as
bad as Wes' Harding, ho aroused public
opinion to the terrific extent of putting
him in the penitentiary when he shot a
man iu his sleep. That was going too
far, even for the people round aoout Gal
veston in those days. Flood was such a
man. lie had killed beven and a great
many more; but young Sam knew noth
ing of this. He bad no absolute knowl
edge of it. It was only a sort of "kiiikle,
as ttiey would have put it-just a notion
on his part. And when he got west he
wasn't at Urst particularly anxious to
claim acquaintance with the memory of
a border ruilian auch as this Sam Flood
must Lave been for fear he might let the
old man in for something. But he knew
that Lis lather was a man of strange
character. Though living in a pretty
touh part of New York, he had never
carried arms.
I reckon," said old Flood, "I won't
put temptation in my way."
His son had heard him say that; and
there was something in old Flood's voice
and bis manner, and his trick of locking
his eye that prevented people at
tempting to jump on him. But he
brought his Luiuily up in a God-fearing
way; that is, he taught them religion.
Occasionally he laid especial stress ou
the sixth commandmeiiL In thj li-ht of
after experience and inward knowledge
of bimaelf young Flood Lxgaa to under
stand. Once when he was no more than
a boy of 13 he came a.ro.-s an old bowie
knife in a box in his father's house. Boy
like, he took the weapon out and delight
ed to handle :L He noticed seven notch
es on the butt. He showed it to his
father and aeked for an explanation.
There w as a curious gleam in the old
man's eye; he seemed to grow brighter
and more alert.
"Belonged to an old partner of mine,'
stid Flood ; "he gave it me when he
died.
That was not strictly true. He hadn't
give it to him when he died; Flood took
it when he was deal which is a diifer
ent thing. The other man had died cf
exposure, as the western jury said ex
posure to bullets. They were Flood's
ballets. But Flood took the weapon
from Lis boy and Lid it young Sam
never saw it again till he was 17.
Now, it is the way with boys in Ameri
ca to get np and "get'' atja certain age
or at any age wlien they find parental
authority and family restraint a little too
much for them. Their pais can always
put them np to beating a train out of
New York and they start to go west. The
courage of some of them "petes" long be
fore they get to the middle stattis the
west looks too big and too wide. They
conclude to stay where they Lave got to
or go back.
But Sam was persistent; Le went right
forward; he had and the notched
bowie knife. After two months' train
beating and grub-begging, and sleeping
in culverts and box cars, he landed up
in Texas, having done very well indeed.
He ran the whole distance through to
Chicago at one flight. He got "laid ofT
on leaving Chicago at Hannibal, but he
went over the whole K. & T. without a
hitch, and got to Fort Worth, finally
landing at "Painted Kock," in the south
of the "panhandle," and there he went
to work on a cattle ranch. He started
right in as a cowboy, and he picked it up
welL He was smart on horseback from
the word "go," and he even had a notion
of holding on when they gave him a
buck-jumper at any rate, he didn't come
off quite so soon as the "tenderfoot" usu
ally does, and in a few months be was a
very fair rider indeed. As he rode
around on his pony, with bis mesquite
legging on, he began to think he was a
h 1 of a man. He began to feel that he
was somebody began to think he had
arrived, bad got there. He didn't feel so
cra-hed as be did in the east. He had
got room tospread, for in the east, wheth
er it be the American east or more east
still, human beings are like a bag of sea
anemones mere slash of humanity, with
no individuality and no beauty about
them. But in the west, the open west,
where a man ia not so crowded and the
law is not so oppressive, there's a certain
reasonable chance of being yourself pro
vided you have got any money or any
natural capabilities for taking other peo
ple's without asking for iL
ESTjaJBlAlSSED 1837.
This was what yonng Sim Flood le
gan to feel. Like other cowboys, he al
ways Icarried a six-shooter Le had an
ivory-handled one. Ha called i; ivory;
an expert would have known it for botie.
But he was not so proa 1 of that a he
was of his bowie-knife. He loved that
dearly, and he likel to run his thnmb
nail rattling down the seven notches of
it. He was proud of the old man, for he
knew his name was famous.
It is a curio:is thing in that west but
I have watched it grow how the desire
to slay comes to a man. So soon as be
reverts to those plaias his soul goes back
to the time when slaughter was the whole
duty of man. Out there there is no oilier
means of immediate notoriety ; and noto
riety ia the wect is t he breadth of Life.
Among the yonng men as they sit by the
lire and tell stories of the bloody deeds
of the James boys, or cf Ben Tbomr-.n,
or Hard:r.g, or even rep-eat how the ligiit
ing Jim Wilson took the Matthew '.'.ns,
or how Whitelaw was shot ia 11 places
at Austin and yet walked Lome and re
covered th.;r blood begins to boil and
their eyts sparkle. The desire to kill
comes oa them.
And when they told these yarns about
the camptire young FVvd fA.lt the ban
die of L.s fowie-knife, He itched to
slay and wished he dared. Tiiere was
death ia the very feel of it, for the knife
was not dead. It was living 1 It had
drunk the bloodol seven. One night he
went out on the barren plains, where
the moonligiit glimmered on the white
j dust; and he played with his knife in
that lighL It became a fetish-alive 1
I he felt it jump ia the sheath. Hi couldn't
n.ideB-tand it, but he felt the knife un-
l..rwfru..l Tf. !rn7i t-nur f.v l..t.r rls in
. . i r -. ' j . . .."- ...a ' ..... .---
he did w hat it wanted. It was a strange
growta, in that boy s min.I, and it spread
cancer w ise, and took him. For weeks i thrown from his horse-cr, ruther, Lis

Flood had only killed six with the knife, j

country, and take their fill of blood and j
come back, tap at the window panes and
ask to be let in-like t.red dogs that
have been out sheep killing and come
home full. And Flood's notched knife
was become alive and conscious. He and
it went thiMy. But if the knife was
brave Flood w as not. It was only the
desire to kill he had, not the desire to
fight. But at last the knife as he handled
it and looked at it and saw its keen edge
on the front and the thumb-length on the
back, w hich was sharp, too and as he
put his thumb on the point and pricked
himself till the blood came it urged
him and drove him on. It was the knife
that was chief in this bloody partnership
and the spirit of the father was second
and the boy was like aconduit or a flume
carrying the father's still unsatisfied de
sire for blood.
There was a little talk at times in the
camp about Flood when he was not there.
They didn't quite like Lim; at least, all
of them did noL For there was a curious
losk in Lis eyes. He was a littie bit dan
gerous ; he was not quite open.
"I don't think he could fight," said
one of the toys, "but he'd kill a man
quick enough, I reckon."
"Kill thunder!" said Gardner; "hell
kill no one he ain't got it in Lim."
"1 don't know," said another. "Have
you never noticed how the desire of kil
in' suthin' or other springs np in a man,
like grass after rain, when he comes out
here? I have."
"That's so," said Gardner; "I guess
I've seen it, bnt not in a man like Flood.'
"It's mostly in men like Flood," said
the other.
But Flood never knew how they talk
ed about him. He was always talking
to his knife ; he was silent to them. But
one day, when he and Gardner were
out together, and had a bit of "barney,'
Gardner lost self-control and called
Flood rather an n;ly name for Flood
had iun npajair.t him when they wera
both after a runaway steer. Flood said
nothing, bnt he went away talking.
When he crew silent he listened to his
knife. When two are in partner-hip and
one is a cur and the other bold it will
take a long time to conn to a fair conclu
sion. And though Gardner forget it and
spoke kindly, as kindly a3 the western
wind for he had a kind enough heart
Flood held the memory of that name
within his own dark heart, and took
counsel, l.e and Lis knife. And he often
followed Gardner about with bis eyes.
He hungered to kill bim. The desire of
homicide was growing up in him strong
it was no longer general, it was parti
cular. He had no spite against the race,
. but a spite against one man. And it was

was written the following notice :
" Bell out of order please rap."
Her husband returned, looked at the
card, and calling her to him, said :
