    From Minimum
to Maximum.

Q.- ■ Q
Out of the night came 'sound ot
galloping hoofs and the staccato bark
of small arms. Little Bradley, who
had arrived at the Shaw ranch that
evening on his first visit west, prompt
ly dropped under the billiard tabl>
The others, to whom it was an ok
story, glanced out of the window nnl
went on with their game.
"Looks llko a part of the B 4 outfit,"
remarked Callendar carelessly as he
chalked his cue. "Come on out. Brad
ley. They're merely some joyous cow
punching souls on their evening out.
Going down to the Palace, I imagine."
Bradley, red both from exertion and
chagrin, emerged from beneath the ta
g
"I'D GIVE IIAI.F A MILLION TO HAVE THAI
COLLECTION OF DIVES MOVED."
ble and picked up his cue. "I thought
that people out here had quit those
#ool tricks," he explained, his teett
still chattering.
"They have, except for special occa
sions. But when they do turn loose
they generally give us a salute In
passing."
"The Palace Is that drinking place
down the road?"
"Just that You see," explained Cal
lernlar, "when Colonel Shaw bought
his ranch there was one quarter section
he could not get hold of, owned by a
stubborn brute of a fellow who would
not let go. That was the foundation
of the town of Minimum."
"Funny name!" commented Bradley.
'That's why they took it The origi
nal holder has been dead some years
now, but the town goes on. You see,
it's nearer the mines by ten miles than
the railroad town, and between the
miners and the cowboys things are
kept lively."
"They don't like the colonel beeaus,
he objects to the rum holes they run, al <
most at his door, and when things aro j
mussed up, they generally ride past i
and give us a salute. It's only once or |
twice that the shots have come
through. As a rule they fire Into the
alia"
Bwue one called Bradley to make his
and the matter was not again
tafesn up until late that evening, when
Bradley and Ids host sat chatting In
the-smoking room, and the guests good
natcredly told the story of his fright.!
Td give half a aiillion to have that
collection of dives moved away," said ;
Colonel Sbaw bitterly "I suppose when
the railroad conies it will be still
worse."
"The I* C. L. cutoff?" asked Bradley.
"Are they coming through here?"
"Right past the town." assented the
colonel. "I think I shall have to give
up the idea of livin? hero I had hoped !
to buy up ail the land and have the |
finest place around here in my old j
age."
"How much are you really willing to ]
spend?" demanded Bradley. "I mean j
business."
"And I meant the half million.l of- j
fered old Pete $300,000 for the quarter!
before the town grew up, when he Just i
had a lit tie saloon down In one corner." j
Bradley gravely put out a hand so l
white and slender that men seldom an
ticipated the strength of his grip. "I'll
do It and make a profit in the end." bt
announced.
Colonel Shaw shook hands gravely
enough, but he smiled beneath his
heavy mustache, A six footer himself,
he had ail the big man's contempt foi i
the little fellow. How could Bradley,
with his flv« f»wt seven, conquer where
hte six faet two had failed?
IJtft he rather liked Bradley in spite
of his handicap of size. Of course, he
was Impossible as a suitor for Nancy's
hand, though personally he was a good
sort of cbap.
The following morning Bradley
strolled down to the Palace for a drink,
and in ten minutes he hail picked up
an acquaintance with the proprietor.
That evening at the dinner table his
announcement that he found Pete
Buckley rather a companionable sort
of chap created an even greater sensa.
Hon than had hLs performance of the
night before.
'Tie didn't throw you outy cried
Colonel Shaw in amazement
"Not a bit of it," said Bradley com
fortably, blissfully ignorant of the fact
that the colonel himself had been sub
Jecopd to that indignity, as well as all
and sundry of his previous guests win
*ad strayed tnte the Palace. "We had
a couple of bottles of champagne and
<julta a long chat-
All of the guests were regarding !

fecf Bradley./ He was chatting with
Nancy, and he did not even hear the
colonel's muttered eorplanatlon:
"He wus so little tUry nw> ashamed
to hurt him."

eral during the week, and when ho
Jirted back to town it was with a bot

7'dusly the smile of contentment that
played about his lips when Minimum
was mentioned. Bradley refused to
divulge any of his plans nnd diverted
discus-ion by the announcement that
the L. C. L. had decided to run the line
three miles farther to the Bouth.
j The statement was received with iu
i credulity until Bradley pointed out the
advantages to be gained, and the colo-
J nel sighed contentedly. Not only would
! the line leave his property untouched,
! but Minimum would not be a railroad
town.
| Down at Minimum the news was re
! ceived with less placidity. Buckley
promptly decided that it was the colo
nel's work and was for immediate ex
termination of his neighbor. Only
Bradley's arguments induced him to
abandon the plan, and when his ex
citement had cooled somewhat he and
Bradley went into executive session.
That evening as Bradley strolled In
to dinner the smile had broadened, and
he looked pityingly at young Callen
dar, who was generally supposed to be
(he colonel's choice for a son-ln-law.
It was when tho others had gone off
to play billiards that he dropped into
the library, where the colonel sat writ
i ing.
"It's going to cost you about S3O,<XK)
j and two half sections of good land,"
he announced. "Will that be all
right?"
"Which half sections?" queried the
colonel.
Bradley Indicated them on the map.
i _ "I'll deed them to you tomorrow,"
"agreed the colonel. "How did you do
\ It?"
"Sympathized with Buckley," ex
plained Bradley. "Told trim It was a
shame that the line of the road was
transferred south, without explaining
j that it took me a week to argue my
| uncle Into changing the route—Uncle
Jim's president of the road, you know,
j Then I pointed out that we could get
| some land to the south where we could
spread out as we never could in Mini
mum, and I undertook to induce you to
give up the land.
"Then 1 volunteered the promise that
you would duplicate the town bulld
; lugs on the new site as a bonus, and
; Buckley gets the extra quarter section
for more town lots. He's so profound
ly grateful that he wants to take me
in as a partner."
j "And all this has taken you less than
I three weeks," said the colonel, admir
j ingly. "Why, man, I've worked for
] twelve years to get that quarter sec
j tion."
" 'By force alone ye shall not con
j quer,' " quoted Bradley softly. "Even
i we little fellows have our uses, colonel.
: I guess I'll see if there's a chance to
; get into the game in the billiard room.
{ We can tlx up the titles and the con
| tracts in the mnrnlne."
| He strolled out, but the colonel did
! not resume his work. He wheeled
about, staring into the fire.
It was a twelve mile drive to the
| county seat, where the papers were re
corded, and as they drove home in the
i twilight of the nuxt evening tho colo-
J nel reined in his horse In froutof Mini
mum. Across the front of the Palace
j was an oilcloth sign which rend:
On or before Julv 1
This hull town will
Remove
to
Maximum
Throe miles down the road.
"My name," chuckled Bradley as the
horses moved on. "Suppose we cele
| brate by making a bonfire of the
j town?"
"That'll be a good site for you to
build when you marry Nancy," chuc
kled the colonel—"that is, if you still
want her."
"If?" echoed Bradley. "It was to
gain her that I worked so hard."
"You've earned her," assured the j
colonel. "I'm proud of you, my boy."

A ROASTED RAT.
ft Appear* In Many Guises, Aocordlnj
to a Japanese Legend.
In olden time, runs a Japanese leg
end, u Buddhist priest becume ac
quainted with a dalnito's courier who
on his Journeys to and from Tokyo
would often stop and spend the night
at the temple. lie seemed to be a man
of remarkable intelligence, with whom
it was a great pleasure to converse up
oc all sorts of subjects. One night, as
the two were talking together, the cou
rier said:
"I thank you for the many favors
you have shown me since we became
friends, but tomorrow morning I must
bid you farewell and never see you
again."
"Why must that be?" asked the
priest.
"1 will tell you the whole truth," an
swered the courier. "I am not a man,
but a fox. For the purpose of deceiv
ing the dalmio I assumed human form.
One of his retainers, however, became
suspicious and learned my secret. He
has made a trap and baited it with a
roasted rat In order that he may cap
ture me on my return Journey and put
me to death. Alas, it will be impossi
ble for me to escape!"
The priest exclaimed in astonish
ment: "Can it be true that you are a
fos? Tills is a strange story. Since
you know all about the trap, why do
you not leave the bait untouched?"
"Because it is impossible for a fox,
when onco it smells roast rat, to keep
from tasting it."
"Why, how is it," asked the priest,
"that you, whose wisdom is more than
that possessed by most men, can throw
away your life for the sake of eating a
roast rnt? Among men, even a fool
would know too much for that"
The fox answered, with a bitter
laugh: "Ah, It is only a roast rat that
can lead a fox astray. But men, though
well aware of the danger, are caught
by their love of pleasure, of strong
drink or of gold. To obtain these they
not only throw away their own lives,
but they bring ruin upon their families
and their country.
"These temptations are only other
forms of ronsted rat."—Youth's Com
panion.
THE WORST OF ANIMALS.
A Striking Portrait of Man With
Schopenhauer's Compliments.
Man is the only animal which causes
pain to others without any further pur
pose than Just to cause It. Other ani
mals never do It except to satisfy their
hunger or In the rage of combat. No
animal «■ er torments another for the
mer. purpose of tormenting, but man
does it, and It is this that constitutes
that diabolical feature In his character
which is so much worse than the mere
ly animal. I have already spoken of
the matter in its broad aspect, but It is
manifest even in small things, and
every reader has a dally opportunity of
observing it. For instance, if two little
dogs are playing together—and what a
genial and charming sight it is!—nnd
a child of three or four years Joins
them, it Is almost inevitable for it to
begin bitting them with a whip or
stick and thereby show itself, even at
that age, the worst of. animals. The \
love of teasing and playing tricks,
which is conynon enough, may be trac- !
Ed to the same source. For instance, if
a man has expressed his annoyance at
any Interruption or other petty incon
venlence, there will be no lack of peo
ple who for that very reason will bring
it about. This is so certain that a man
should be caretul not to express any
annoyance at small evils. On the other
hand, he should also l>e careful not to
express his pleasure at any trifle, for,
if he does so, men will act like the
Jailer, who, when he found /that his |
prisoner had performed the laborious i
task of taming a spider and took a I
pleasure in watching it, immediately
crushed it under his foot. This is why
all animals are instinctively afraid of
the sight or even of the track of a
man, that animal mechant par excel
lence! Nor does their instinct plaj
them false, for it is man alone who
hunts game for which he has uo use 1
ODd which does him no harm.—Scho-1
penhauer.
A Ring Island.
Many coral reef islands In the Pa
cific are in the form of more or less
perfect rings. or ovals, inclosing la
goons. The ring island of Ninafou,
halfway between Fiji and Samoiu is
not a coral reef, but a volcanic ring in
closing a crater containing a lake two i
miles in diameter. Toward these:» .
the ring Is bordered with walls of
black lava, and on the inner side these i
break down in cllfTs 200 to 300 feet In :
height. An eruption In 1880 formed a ,
peninsula on the eastern side of the
hike. While the ocean outside Is trenv :
tiling and thundering under a heavy
wind the lake remains snKWJth or ts j
simply Wrinkled with ripples.

If erne be watchful thero eosias a

A FRANC FOR A LIFE.
Exciting Adventure With a Modem
Fanatic In Algeria.
Ne*r the western end of Ouar In a
lonely street (for most of the men
were sleeping from 12 to 3 during the
heat of the day) I met a tall, stalwar;
Ritli from the mouutaius, writes Rev.
V* . (J. Pope, who was a missionary In
Algeria.
Accosting him with the usual Arabic
salutation, I asked him if he could
read. He answered, "No."
""Where do you live?
"In the mountain, twenty miles j
west."
"Have you a sheik who can read?" I
"Yes."
"Then will you please take him this
book, with my greetings, and ask bin: :
to read it to you all?"
"What it is—a Koran?"
"No; the story of the life of the
Messiah."
He then turned and asked if I was a
follower of the Messiah, to which I j
answered, "Yes."
Then arose his Moslem fanaticism, I
for he was an Aissaoua, a terribly I
fanatical section of the Moslems in!
Morocco.
Drawing his knife and holding it J
over me, he uttered one word, "Slia- j
bed."' (witness), meaning that I wa9 j
to say, with my forefluger raised, j
"There is no God but Allah, and Mo- j
hammed is the prophet of Allah."
I felt white, but triad to look cour
ageous and unconcerned. I remon
strated with him for so acting with
his Amel's guest, but all to no pur
jiose. He reiterated his one word.
"Bhahed!"
His kuifo was an ugly weapon. It J
looked like a piece of sharpened barrel
hoop with twji pieces of goat's horn :
fastened together to make a handle. j
Knowing the Arab's love of an Bug I
Ilsh knife, I asked htm if his knife was
an English one. He answered that he
had made it himself.
Remembering that In one pocket \l
had n franc- In silver ami coppers and
in the other a French louls. I (krter
mined to buy the knife if possible.
Taking out my small change, I <le
elded to try that flifst I referred to
the fact that the English were very
proud of their knives and I would
much like to take back to my country
a Moroccan knife to show what others
eoold do and offered to purchase It
The sight of the French coppers ami
a glistening piece of silver was too
much even for his fanaticism. He un
did his leather sheath, restored the
knife to its'place, looked once tip and
down the street to see no one was look
ing, then, with apparent Joy, exchanged
the knife for the money and the boob
and went off happy.
Which of the two felt the happier I |
cannot tell, but I never forgot that my j
llfo in Ouar was purchased back for o
paltry franc.—Liverpool Post.

A BATTLE FOR A HAT.
And How the Victor In the Struggle
Lost the Trophy.
Verdi had stopped an incom
ing train in Genoa once at a time when
Marquis di Rudlni, the Italian premier,
was in the station. The marquis rec
ognized the musician aud requested
the station master to introduce hlin.
He greeted Verdi warmly, congratulat
ed him on his fine health and wished
him many more years of life.
After taking leave of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet and on
returning to his train forgot his hat
This was an opportunity not to bo lost
by two admirers of the musician. They
had been watching him long, and now
they simultaneously sprang for the
hat. Both reached It at once, one
seizing one side of the brim and the
other the opposite. A lively comba't
ensned, and the two swnyed backward j
and forward in their desire to retain
the treasure. The lady came off vic
torious. "Ah!" she exclaimed trium
phantly. "Now I've got it, and I intend
to keep it!"
Her surprise was only equaled by
his dismay when a gentleman who !
had been watching the conflict for ;
some time stopped forward with the '
remark, "But this is my hat!" A loud 1
laur.K v.t liom the onlookers, a
laugh In which even the combatants
were fain to join. The hat changed
hands, and the lad} - changed color
when a moment or two later she saw
the trap into which she had fallen, j
It was the hat of the great composer,
and the stranger had secured It by nn
unjustifiable ruse.
