Q
iu original cause
of the trouble was
about twenty
years in growing
At the end of
that time it was
worth it
Had you lived
anywhere within
50 miles of Sun
down ranch you
would have heard
of it It possess
ed a quantity of
jet black hair a
pair of extremely
frank deep brown
eyes and a laugh
that rippled across
the prairie like1
the sound of a hidden brook The name
of it was Rosita McMullen and she
was the daughter of old man McMul j
en of the Sundown sheep ranch
There came riding on red roan
steeds or to be more explicit on ai
paint and a flea bitten sorrel two
wooers One was Madison Lane and
the other was the Frio Kid But at
that time they did not call him the
Frio Kid for he had not earned the
honors of special nomenclature His
name was simply Johnny McRoy
It must not be supposed that these
two were the sum of the agreeable
Rositas admirers The bronchos of a
dozen others champed their bits at
the long hitching rack of the Sun
down ranch Many were the sheeps
eyes that were cast in those savannas
that did not belong to the flocks of
Dan McMullen Eut of all the cava
liers Madison Lane and Johnny Mc
Roy galloped far ahead wherefore
they are to be chronicled
Madison Lane a young cattleman
from the Nueces country won the
race He and Rosita were married one
Christmas day Armed hilarious vo
ciferous magnan ous the cowmen
and the sheepmen laying aside their
hereditary hatred joined forces to
ceebrate the occasion
But while the wedding feast was at
its liveliest there descended upon it
Johnny McRoy bitten by jealousy
like one possessed
Ill give you a Christmas present
he yelled shrill at the door with his
45 in his hand Even then he had
some reputation as an offhand shot
His first bullet cut a neat underbit
in Madison Lanes right ear The bar-
I rel of his gun moved an inch The
I rext shot would have been the brides
i had not Carson a sheepman pos
sessed a mind with triggers some
what well oiled and in repair The
guns of the wedding party had been
hung in their belts upon nails in the
wall when they sat at table as a con
cession to good taste But Carson
with great promptness hurled his
plate of roast venison and frijoles at
McRoy spoiling his aim The second
bullet then only shattered the white
pttals of a Spanish dagger flower sus
pended two feet above Rositas head
The guests spurned their chairs
and jumped for their weapons It
was considered an improper act to
shoot the bride and groom at a wed
ding In about six seconds there were
twenty or so bullets due to be whiz
zing in the direction of Mr McRoy
Ill shoot better next time yelled
Johnny and therell be a next time
He backed rapidly out the door
The cattlemen swept out upon him
calling for vengeance
But the sortie failed in Its ven
geance McRoy was on his horse and
away shouting back curses and
threats as he galloped into the con
cealing chaparral
That night was the birthnlght of
the Frio Kid He became the bad
man of that portion of the state The
rejection of his suit by Miss McMul
len turned him to a dangerous man
When officers went after him for the
shooting of Carson he killed two of
them and entered upon the life of an
outlaw When he was at last shot
and killed by a little one armed Mex
ican who was nearly dead himself
from fright the Frio Kid had the
deaths of IS men on his head
Many tales are told along the bor
der of his impudet courage and
daring But he was not one of the
breed of desperadoes who have sea
sons of generosity and even of soft
ness They say he never had mercy
on the object of his anger Yet at
this and every Christmastide it is
well to give each one credit if it carii
be done for whatever speck of good
he may have possessed If the Frio
Kid ever did a kindly act or felt a
throb of generosity in his heart it was
once at such a time and season and
this is the way it happened
One December in the Frio country
rode the Frio Kid and his Satellite
and co murderer Mexican Frank The
Kid reined in his mustang and sat In
his saddle thoughtful and grim with
dangerously narrowing eyes
I dont know what I been thinking
about Mex he remarked in his usual
mild drawl to have forgot all about a
inilWiMBWM
Christmas present I got to give Im
going to ride over tomorrow night and
shoot Madison Lane in his own house
He got my girl Rosita would have1
had me if he hadnt cut into the game
I wonder why I happened to overlook
it up to now
Ah shucks Kid said Mexican
dont talk foolishness You know you
cant get within a mile of Mad Lane
house tomorrow night I see old man
Allen day before yesterday and he
says Mad is going to have Christmas
doings at his house You remember
how you shot up the festivities when
Mad was married and about the
threats you made Dont you sup
pose Mad Lanell kind of keep his eje
open for a certain Mr Kid You
plumb make me tired Kid with such
remarks
Im going repeated the Frio Kid
without heat to go to Madison Lanes
Christmas doings and kill him I
ought to have done it a long time
ago
Theres other ways of committing
suicide advised Mexican Why dont
you go and surrender to the sheriff
Ill get him said the Kid
Christmas eve fell as balmy as
April Perhaps there was a hint of
far away frostiness in the air but it
tingled like seltzer perfumed faintly
with late prairie blossoms and the
mesquite grass
When night came the five or six
rooms of the ranch house were bright
ly lit In one room was a Christmas
tree for the Lanes had a boy of three
and a dozen or moie guests were ex
pected from the nearer ranches
The guests had arrived in buck-
boards and on horseback and were
making themselves comfortable inside
The evening went along pleasantly
The guests enjoyed and praised Rosi
tas excellent supper and afterward
the men scattered in groups about the
rooms or on the broad gallery
smoking and chatting
The Christmas tree of course de
lighted the youngsters and above all
were they pleased when Santa Claus
himself in magnificent white beard and
furs appeared and began to distribute
the toys
Its my papa announced Billy
Sampson aged six
Berkly a sheepman an old friend of
Lane stopped Rosita as she was pass
ing by him on the gallery
Well Mrs Lane said he I sup
pose by this Christmas youve gotten
over being afraid of that fellow Mc-
1 r - E3 a
ebb
xgr
Oh Thank You
Itoy havent you Madison and I have
talked about it you know
Very nearly said Rosita smiling
but I am still nervous sometimes I
shall never forget that awful time
when he came so near killing us
Hes the most cold hearted villain
in the world said Berxly The citi
rens all along the border ought to turn
out and hunt him down like a wolf
He has committed awful crimes
said Rosita but I dont know I
think there is a spot of good some
where in everybody He was not al
ways bad that I know
Rosita turned into the hallway be
tween the rooms Santa Claus in muf
fling whiskers and furs was just com
ing through
I heard what you said through the
window Mrs Lane he said I was
just going down in my pocket for a
Christmas present for your husband
But Ive left one for you Instead Its
in the room to your right
Oh thank you kind Santa Claus
said Rosita brightly
Rosita went into the room while
Canta Claus stepped into the cooler
air of the yard
She found no one in the room but
Madison
Where is my present that Santa
said he left for me in here she
asked
Havent seen anything in the way
of a present said her husband laugh-
ing unless he could have meant me
The next day Gabriel Radd the
foreman of the X O ranch dropped
Into the post office at Loma Alta
Well the Frio Kids got his dose
of lead at last he remarked to the
postmaster
That so Howd it happen
One of old Sanchezs Mexican
sheep herders did it think o it the
Frio Kid killed by a sheep herder
The Greaser saw him riding along
past his camp about twelve oclock
last night and was so skeered that he
up with a Winchester and let him
have it Funniest part of it was that
the Kid was dressed all up with white
Angora skin whiskers and a regular
Santy Claus rig out from head to foot
Think of the Frio Kid playing Santy
