name wns Lemuel I'mitty. He wns a

At Intervals when a newcomer hung
nut his "shingle," bcnrliiR the luserlption,
"So-aiicl-io, Ileal Hit ate," old Lwn
I'routy, as ho was commonly enlleil,
would exert his energies to drive him
out of business, and Invnrinbly in t ho
course of a few month he succeeded. So
shrewd was this veteran trailer nnilsnch
a hold did he have In his town Unit in "Jo I
years only two sales had been nindo by
rival agents, nud In each Instance they
had been compelled to buy the old man
off to prevent his upsetting the trade.
One day as old Lcm sat in (lie open
doorway of Tom Connor's stablo ho remarked:

.lust nt sunset, when they were prepar
ing their evening mini. Watson suddenly
exclaimed:
"Look at that mn:i!"
His companion looked In the direction
indicated, but In the gathering gloom
wns tinabln to detect anything that look
ed like a human figure.
"I think you were mistaken'," he re
plied. "Was ho white or Iriilliin?"
"Whito and dressed In the garb of a
miner."
"Well, ho Is gone now, and we'll think
no more about him."
Hut the speaker by no means felt the
assurance lie iiKsumed.
They valued their wealth enough to
feel ready to peril their lives for Its unfi1
ty, and the sight of the bUuugcr they had
seen loitering around the camp nt sunset
filled both with a vngue intensities.
They lounged around tho outside, smok
ing their pipes, until a late hour, when
they withdrew within their dilapidated
tent and lay down. They were so wea
ried with their unusually hard labor that
must rise up early In the morning and sit l)0lh nIik into a heavy slumber.
uu late o' nights: In fact, he must Btay
lip most all the time."
Tom laughed and replied, "I guess j
that's about right, Lorn," I
At this point Hill Gardner, the portly I
constable, who wns sltKog oa a barrel, j
enjoying an after dinner clgnr, piped out,
"What Leni I'routy don't know about j
sellin houses ain't worth knowin. an I'll j
bet $10 to oue on him any day."
Some days later, as old I.em sat In the
stable doorway smoking and chatting I
with a party of acquaintances, his eyo I
rested on a new sign In bold clinracti rs
which read, "Andrew Gray, Ileal Ks- !
tote."
"Aha!" exclaimed the old trnder. :
"Who Is this? We'll have to look into j
the matter and give him his passports." '
Shortly afterward the ollice door open- I
ed, and a young mnu stepped out. Ho i
wns tall and slightly round shouldered, 1
with red curly hair and the foundation of
a sandy beard, while Ids doilies were
worn and somewhat seedy. He present- j
ed the appearance of a young mini from
the country. I
"A verdant hayseed!" cMluluicd the
old trader. "That's easy game enough."
llo spoke so loudly that the young mitn !
cast a sharp glance nt him ns lie passed
down the street.
Immediately old I.em started in pur- i
suit, and, by keepim; nt a safe distil. lee
and Inquiring of neighbors nnd acquaint
ances with whom he saw the young man
talking, he managed to learn t lint bis
young rival had effected a sale und that
the papers were to lie drawn up on the
morrow.
That evening the veteran tinder called
upon Mr. Andrew Gray at his ollice. 1
"Mr. Lemuel I'routy, sir," Kiiid that i
worthy gentleman, seating himself In a
chair, with some emphasis.
"Good evening, sir." said the young
man, with a glance that seemed to say.
"I have seen you before nud don't enter
tain a very good impression of yon."
"Well, sir," began old I. em, "I s'pose
you know who I inn. For 2o years I've
handled all tho property that's hi en sold
around" here, nnd whenever I've had a
competitor I'vo squelched him. Now I
understand, sir, that you've iunde a sale,
and I just dropped around to say Unit the
mnn you've traded with Is an old f l ieu I
of mini!, und that I have a place wliieli I
know be would like a great deal better
Unless you are willing to make it right
with ine I shall see him nt ouee."
",Sir," replied Mr. Gray rather sharply,
"the trade Is all made, und he lias agree. I
to tako the place."
"Agreed 1" thundered old Lem
"What's that niuount to? I know the
man better than you do, afid when I can
give him a better place nud save him
money, too, hn won't be fool enough to
take yours."
A look of deep concern overspread the
tho fnce of Andrew Gray, anil for some
time ho was lost In thought. I'lipilly lie
looked up and Inquired:
"If I give you hnlf my commission,
will you be satisfied V"
"Yes, perfectly," replied old I-ein, his
face beaming with triumph.
"Agreed," nald Mr. Gruy. "I will give
you one-halt of what 1 get for selling the
place. Tho papers will be passed at
noon tomorrow. Good evening, sir." he
added abruptly.
"Good evening," returned old Lem as
he sauntered slowdy out of the ollice.
"The easiest one yet," he chuckled us lie
latched the door.
MRS. GALLUP DOOMED
llefore stretching out upon their blan
kets Watson placed the sack containing
the greater part of the gold whero he felt
certain it could not be disturbed without
awakening him.
Watson wan awakened an hour or two
Inter by something about his head. For
a second or two lie was bewildered, and
then when be regained his senses he
cniuilit the glimpse of a mail's hand dis
appearing throtiith n rent In the ennvns.
nnd the same full moon which displayed
tills startling fnct revealed the more
alarming one that the sumo human hand
contained his sack of gold.
l'.y this time the truth (lashed upon the
miner, and, coming bolt upright with the
suddenness of lightning, lie emptied tiie
whole live barrels of his revolver after
the disappearing form of the thief.
Hubert, starting up nt the snme time,
did the same, nnd both dashed outside
the tent. As they did so they saw the
figure of n man of enormous proportions
leap ncross n small brook.
"Chase the infernal villain!" called out
Watson ns he sprung after him.
The two did not hesitate a moment,
but started in full pursuit of the thief,
who shortly after turned to the left and
took to the woods.
The Intter, however, were quite op"t)
and sparse, ami In the bright moonlight
they could see his huge figure Hitting in
and out among the trees.
A few hundred yards or so revealed the
Interesting fact that both fugitive and
pursuers were about equally matched.
Our young friends shouted to tho thief
nnd ordered him to stop under pain of
being Instantly shot down: but. as a mat.
tor of emirse, he paid no heed to them.
Onco or twice he glnneed furtively over
his shoulder, but he miido no reply or outcry.
