unusual proceeding was going
forward in Forty rod Freds sa
loon The faro dealers forsook
heir silver boxes the croupiers left
heir roulette wheels and the gamblers
oroke off their games at the poker ta
Dles Every man crowded around the
aar and strange to say it was not for
i drink Old Kanuck was going to de
liver himself of a speech but it was his
heme rather than the speech itself
which drew the profound attention of
veryone in the saloon
One of Kanucks hands for the pur
pose probably of emphasizing his re
marks wielded a beer mallet The oth
ed hand rested upon the curly head of
i bright eyed youngster of 4 years who
sat on the bar and persisted in grinning
it Oklahoma Bill a cowboy with a
record of two right there in Dickinson
our in the Bad Lands and heaven
only knows how many during the Ok
lahoma rush
Kanuck cleared his throat impres
sively
Ladies an gents he began
Ladies nothin broke in One eyed
Billings none here
I said ladies went on Kanuck
with dignity an I say it agin Anyone
take exceptions
No one spoke and Kanuck brought
the beer mallet down on the bar with
a force that made the youngster jump
No exceptions being taken Kanuck
proceeded
I reckon you all know how this kid
came to Dickinson father died on the
Blue Mountain stage nothin to tell
svno he was no money in his cloes kid
not able to spin his own yarn conse
kently dumped onto this big hearted
community of Dickinson an specially
Injun Sam the half breed who took
him in and was lowin to bring him
up That was a year ago Now whats
the condition o things Las night
Sam crossed the divide done up by no
count Hank Andrews an a Colt forty
four Judge Lynch took care o Hank
this mornin but heres the kid Injun
Sam owed the doctor in Corkerville
count o the kid somethin like fifty
plunkers he owed Forty rod Fred a
bar bill of twenty more an odds an
ends round town to make up an even
hundrd We dont think the kidll
bring so high a price but the highest
bidder gets him an if the hundrd dol
lar mark aint reached each creditor of
Sams realizes accordin Now then
whos the first bidder Start the ball
gents Nice kid never heard him cry
in my life Who gets the first whack
Oklahoma Bill who wanted the
youngster about as badly as he wanted
a white elephant counted his money
and put in a bid of 650
Raise ye three an a half said One
eyed Billings
Oklahoma Bill promptly unbuckled
his pistol belt and laid it on the bar
Cost me forty in Heleny he re
marked defiantly if itt go here at
twenty Ill see Billings an go him ten
better
Going at twenty cried Kanuck
flourishing his beer mallet are you all
done Hes dirt cheap at that Why
I wouldnt play it so low down on an
Injun kid as to sell it at that figger
Fifty dollars
This bid was made by Gentleman
Jim the gambler
one looked at him
What the deuce do you want with a
kid of that caliber asked Forty rod
Fred
Im down on my luck and I want i
mascot
Hold on a minit yelled Oklahoma
Bill Ill borry money enough ter beat
that raise
He dashed out of the saloon In a
few minutes he came back and bid G0
Seventy five said Gentleman Jim
Ill have the boy if it takes a thous
and
That does me muttered Bill as he
buckled on his pistol belt
Goin goin goin said Kanuck
his beer mallet poised in air are ye
all done Sold to Gentleman Jim for
seventy five
The beer mallet fell and the deal was
closed
Say whispered Oklahoma Bill as
Gentleman Jim left the saloon with the
kid over his arm can I come down
and play with the leetle duffer casion
ally
Certainly Bill any time
Bliged ter ye and Bill balanced
his plug of tobacco on his nose until
the youngster got out of sight
As Gentleman Jim crossed the foot
bridge spanning the stream that lay
between Dickinson and his cabin in
Blacksnake Hollow the moonlight quiv
ered upon the upturned edges of the
waves like an ever shifting network of
gold and the stars above seemed
caught in the net below The night
was still save for the chirping crickets
and the harsher notes of tlie frogs
These sounds seemed to awaken a lone
liness in the gamblers breast He paus
ed leaned on the hand rail looking
down into the water Suddenly he drew
a package from his pocket and dropped
it into the stream Then he turned and
continued on his way with a firmer
stride while the words No more
broke from his lips in an undertone
Opening the door of the cabin in the
Hollow he found a dim light burning
on the table and a man smoking sil
ting by the bed and watching the fea
tures of a sleeping child
Bill
Eoft ole man the kids asleep

Oklahoma Bill got up
Look ee thar he went on motion
ing toward the bed talk about yer
cherubses they aint in it with that
face Ive been asettin right thar
like a lump on a log watehin them
sleepin features an I swear Jim t
was as good as a sermon
Gentleman Jim caught Bills hand
and led him to the other side of the
room
I want to talk with you Bill Sit
down here
Whats up Jim Yere glummer n
I ever seen ye
Ive taken that youngster to raise
havent I
We have Jim Ye promised me
that moren a month ago just arter ye
put up that seventy five an got him
Yes yes Weve taken him to raise
The question is this Were morally re
sponsible for that lads welfare
Sartin said Bill reflectively as he
toyed with his pipe
At his age a child receives strong
impressions impressions that may en
dure through life Suppose he should
grow up to be a gambler or or
Or a whisky guzzlin no count cow
puncher with nothin but a murder
record ter back up his claims to re
spectability hey Out with it Jim I
don mind its the truth
How would you feel to have the lad
grow up so
Id feel as though he ought tove
died in that Blue Mountain stage long
with his pap
Bill looked hard at the dim light
There was a silence and Jim drew
closer to Bill and laid a hand on his
knee
Bill lets reform
Bill looked into his friends face
blankly
Mean it
Do I mean it repeated the other
slowly Bill I have no other profes
sion but that of gambling I was never
taught an honest trade and that came
easiest for me to learn myself To
night I dropped my cards into the river
Perhaps I can turn cowboy or miner
and make a living for the lad and mv
self
Bill went to the door drew something
from his pocket and Jim heard a crash
of breaking glass outside
No more whisky in mine said Bill
as he came back and caught Gentleman
Jims hand This is another partner
ship hey
Yes replied the gambler quietly
Jim are ye thar
Yes i
Kid asleep
Yes
Come out and let me swap a fev
7ords with ye
Gentleman Jim got up and went out
of the cabin
What is it Bill asked Jim as he
stepped out into the moonlight
Did ye notice my breath
Yes was the low reply Youve
been drinking Bill
You bet I have returned Bill de
fiantly an Im goin ter keep it right
up till the jim jams git me an choke off
my wind Durn it I aint fit ter live I
aint got no moral right ter look the
kid in the face arter this For- the last
ten days lifes been a reglar hell lor
me I wanted drink an I wanted it
bad Seemed like the devil was grip
pin at my insides When I felt the
worst if Id come up here an go to
funnin with the kid Id forget all bout
it bless them dancin blue eyes o his
But the kids got ter sleep he can t
stay up all night jest ter fun with me
an fight off the whisky habit Two
hours ago I came here an peeked in
the winder He was asleep an you set
by the table with yer head in yer hands
It was either fool with the kid er go to
boozin at Forty rod Freds an an
well I didnt want to disturb the kid
so I rushed back to Dickinson an tossed
off a couple o glasses of Jersey light
nin an I wish ter Gawd I was dead
I aint no more fit to come up here fun
nin with that kid than the kid it fit ter
fool with a rattler not a bit Amt dis
gusted are ye
No
The only bright spot in this rough
life o mine has been the time I spent
with the kid Now I aint got no part
nership in him I throw it up Im nev
er goin ter see him agin only jest
once The minit I teched likker after
swearin off that settled it Good -by
to the kid I want him to grow up right
without bein hampered by a worth
less sot like me I jest want ter see
him once more as he sleeps Jim Can
I go in
Yes but wait a minute We under
took too big a contract when we starced
in to raise the youngster Not that our
intentions werent good enough Bill
but our morals were lacking Suppose
he should grow up to have my reputa
tion flung in his face at every turn
Once a man establishes a bad reputa
tion nothing he does afterward can
live it down
Bill made no reply After a short si
lence Jim continued
I was thinking to night probably as
you looked through the window aud
saw me that the boy should be taken
away
Whar
I have a sister an honorable and
upright a woman as the sun ever shone
on She lives in
Dont tell on yer life Never even
whisper her name nor where she lives

cmise if it was a thousand mbIc 3 off
an I knew the place the time ud came
when Id crawl on my knees all the way
jest ter see the kid You take him
Jim an take him to morrer Will y
Yes
Will ye come back
At once
An go to gamblin agin
I suppose so
Bill fumbled in his pocket
Heres forty plunkets every fent
Ive got in the world I sold my pistol
belt to Ole Kanuck That moneys for
the kid Let yer sister keep it for
him
Will you see us in the morning when
we take the Blue Mountain stage
Yes Ill be on hand Good night
Jin
Good night Bill
A week had passed after the depar
ture of Gentleman Jim and his protege
and Oklahoma Bill was anxiously
watching for the Blue Mountain stage
to bring back his friend with later tid
ings of the kid One morning the
stage failed to pull into Dickinson and
the citizens of the town gathered in
groups to discuss the unusual occur
rence
Ill bet a dollar agin a dime that
thars been a hold up said One eyed
Billings
This was the general opinion until
late in the afternoon Nat Palmer the
driver of the stage rode into Dickin
son supporting the form of a man across
the saddle in front of him He was in
stantly surrounded by a mob of curious
ciDzens
Whats the matter Ned asked Old
Kanuck
Stage tipped over on Blue Mountain
an spilled me an the only passenger
I had into Hazard Gulch Lift him
down boys I reckon he mighty near
done up
Why exclaimed the bystanders as
the IuckIcss passenger was taken out
of Palmers arms its Gentleman
Jim
Gentleman Jim was carried into Forty-rod
Freds and made as comfortable
as possible Some liquor was forced
down his throat and he gradually re
vived His eyes turned slowly about
the room
Wheres Oklahoma Bill he asked
feebly get him quick
At this juncture Bill came elbowing
his way through the crowd He paused
beside Gentleman Jim
Ive heerd all bout it ole man he
said in a low tone yere playin in
haru luck Cant I go to Coriierville for
a doctor
No good replied Jim faintly my
chips would be cashed in before you
got a mile from town Its all right
Bill
Bout the kid
Yes She took him Said shed never
tell him anything about me or
Me
Yes Hell be happy there well
taken care of sent to school when hes
old enough to go and brougnt tip right
Id want to see him so bad that I
couldnt stand it like you
But I cant go cause I dont know
who she is or where she lives
Ani I cant go because
He shivered and looked wildly into
Bills face as though the Avonderf ul sur
prise of that mystery he was about to
solve had overpowered him
Because he whispered again
Bill bent low but he heard only a
smothered sigh
Gentleman Jim stiffened out on his
couch and lay still He was dead De

It was the desire of Rev Augustus
Jessopp for many years a country
clergyman in England to be welcomed
by his people as a neighbor and friend
rather than as a clergyman but he con
fesses that he was often pulled up by
a reminder more or less reproachful
that if he had forgotten his vocation
his host had not Ever been to Tomb
land fair Mrs Cawl he asked during
a parochial visit which he describes
in The Trials of a Country Parson
Mrs Cawl had a perennial flow of
words which came from her lips in a
steady unceasing and deliberate mono
tone a slow tickle of verbiage without
the semblance of a stop She began
Never been to no fairs sin I was a
girl bless the Lord nor mean to xcept
once when my Betsy went to place
and father told me to take her to a
show and there was a giant and a
dwarf dressed in green petticoat like
a monkey on an organ an I sajra to
Betsy my dear theys the works of the
Lord but they hadnt ought to be
showed but as the works of the Lord to
be had in remembrance and dont you
think sir as whqn they shows the works
of the Lord theyd ought to begin with
a little prayer
Mr Jessopp admits that he had no
reply at hand and believes that Mrs
Cawl ever afterward privately consid
ered him an irreverent heathen
She Was Out

A Head for Figures
Secretary Morton believes that he has
among the assistant statisticians of his
force one ma who it little less than o
wonder as a figgerer The mans
name is Henry Farquhar and rumors
of his ability in mental arithmetic hav
ing been in circulation for some time
the Secretary the other day put the
matter to a test
Mr Farquhar said tlie Secretary
I have heard you can multiply ten fig
ures in your head Is that so
Well replied the assistant statisti
cian modestly I am willing to try
Then multiply 2089101 by 473 said
Secretary Morton
Mr Farquhar had the figures repeat
ed to him and then he concentrated his
mind upon them For a half minute
or so lie looked like a man in a trance
Then he seized a pencil and piece of
paper and hurriedly wrote down the
figures 12710 J4773
Now let us see if that is right said
Secretary Morton and one of the bright
young men of the Secretarys office
carefully and laboriously worked out
the sum
Mr Farquhars figures are wrong
he announced
I think not replied the modern Ze
rah Colburn and you had better go
over your work again
The young man did so and in a few
minutt s admitted he had made an error
and that Mr Farquhar was right
