Ho ptirchnsed for cash only , nnd never Crumbled nt tlio iricc of anything ho wanted. Who lould nsk more thnn that ? Curious i coploocc.-uioimlly wonder ed how , when it had been fnlly two cars since the Colonel , with every > no else , abandoned Dutch Crook to ho Chinese , ho manngod ( to suond nonoy freely and to lose considerably t cards nnd horse races. In fact , the < eeper ot that one of the Challenge lili saloons which the Colonel did tot patronize was once lieard to won- ior , absont-niindodly , whether the Colonel hadn't n money-mill some- vhcro wlu ro ho turned out eagles and 'slugs" ( the coast naino for t > 0 gold Vcces. When so important n personage as a > ar-kcepcr indulged publicly in the dca , the ihhabitants ot Uhallcngo lill , like food | Cahforninns evoty- vhcro , consider themselves in duty > ound to give it grave consideration ; o , for a few days , certain industrious m > fessional gentlemen , who won uoney of the Colonel , carefully voighed some of the brightest nieces , ml tested them with acidx , mm saw- d them in two , and retired them , ml melted them up , and hud the umps assayed. The result was a complete vindica- ion of the colonel and a loss of con- iderablo custom to the indiscreet jarkeopcr. The colonel waa as good-natured a. nan as had over been known on Chal- ongo hill , but , being mortal , the olonol had his occasional times of do- [ jondeiicy , and one of them occurred ftor a scries of races in which he had Inked his all on his bay niaro Tipsio ml lost ! Looking reproachfully at his bo- ovcd animal , no tailed to hoed the ching void of his pockets , and drink- ng deeply , swearing eloquently , and glaring deiiantly at all mankind were squally unproductive , of coin. The boys at the saloon sympathized lost feelingly with the colonel. They rc'ro unceasing in their invitations to rink , and they exhibited considera te Christian forebcaranco when the olonel savagely dissented with every no who advanced any proposition , no latter how incontrovertible. 13ut napprcciated sympathy grows do- idedly tiresome to the giver , and it as with a feeling of relief that the toys saw the colonel stride out of the aloon , mount Tipsic , and gallop furi- usly away. Riding on horseback has always icon considered an excellent sort of xercise , and riding is universally ad- littrd to bo one of the most healthful neans of exhilaration in the world ; ) ut when a man is so absorbed in his xercise that ho will not. stop to speak 0 his friend , and when his cxhilara- ion is so complete that ho turns his yes from well meaning thumbs point- ng insignificantly into doorways hrough which a man has often passed rhilo seeking bracing influences , it is inly natural that pcoplo should ex- nress some wonder. The colonel was well known at 'oddy Flat , Come Hand , Blazer's Murderer's Bar , and several other villages through which ho passed. As 10 one had been seen to precede him , jotting men were soon offering odds bat the colonel was running away rein somebody. Strictly speaking they were wrong , > ut they won all the money that had > cen staked against them , for within lalf an hour there passed over the amc road an anxious looking individ ual , who reined up in front of the mncinal saloon in each place and in quired if the colonel had passed. Had the gallant colonel known that 10 was followed , and by whom there crtainly would have been an extra lection held at the latter place very hortly after , for the pursuer was the onstable , and for all oilicers of the aw the colonel possessed hatred. On galloped the colonel , following ho stage road , which threaded the- old minim ; camps on Dutch creek , Hit suddenly ho turned out of the oad and urged his horse through the oung pines and bushes which grow hickly by the road , while the consta- ) lo galloped on to the next camp. There seemed to bo no path through ho thicket into which the colonel had urned , but Tipsio walked between ho trees and shrubs as if they were amiliar objects of his fitablo-yard. Suddenly a voice from the bushes houtcd : "What's up ? " "Business that'ts what. " "It's time , " replied the voice , and ts owner a beardless six-footer merged from the bushes , and stroked L'ipsie's nose with the freedom of mi Ju acquaintance.Vo ain't had a nip since last night , and there ain't a cracker or a handful of flour in the shanty. The old gal go back on yer ? " "Yes , " replied the colonel , rueful ly. "lost every blasted race ! 'Twasn't lor fault bless her she done her level best. Ev'ry body to homo ? " "You bet , " said the man. "All boon a prayin' for yor to turn up with the rocks an' somcthin * with more color than spring water. Come on. The man led the way , and Tipsio and the colonel followed , and the trio luddenly found themselves before a log hutin front of which sat three jolcmn , disconsolate individuals , who looked appcalingly to the colonel. "Mack'H tell yer how 'twas , fel lers , " said the colonel , meekly "while 1 picket the mare , " The colonel was absent but a few momontH. but when ho returned oacl of the four were attired in pistols ant knife , while Black was distributing some dominoes made from a rather dirty flour sack. "Taint so late as all that , is it ? ' inquired the Colonel. "Bettor bo an hour ahead than a miss in this ore night. " said one o the four , "I aint been so thirsty since I came round the Horn in 'CO an , wo run short of water. Some body'll get hurt if there aint any bit tcrs in the old concern they will or my name aint Perkins. " "Don't count on your chickens 'foro they've hatched , Perky , said one of the crowd as ho adjusted the dom ino under the rim of his hat. 'S'posiu there should bo too many for UB. " "Stiddy , stiddy , Cranka ? " remon strated the colonel. "Nobody eve gets along of they 'low themselves to be skeorod. " ' 'Jfact ' , " chimed in the Bmallent and : hinnest man in the party. "The Uiblo says somethin' mighty hot 'bout that , I di.iromombor ttznctly how it goes , hut I've hem Parson lliuzy , town to Maine , preach n ripplin' old sermon many n time. The old man lover thought what a comfort them sermons wins agoin1 to bo to a road igent , though. That time woatoppcd Slim Mike's stage , and ho didn't have 10 moro manners than to draw on mo , hem sermons wuz a poifcct Meising o mo- the thorns of "em cleaned ni icad as quick as a cocktail. An' ' " 1 don't want to dispute Logroller's nous strain , " interruptcd'tho colonel , "but IT. it's Old Block that's arrivin' o-day instead of Slim Mike , and ess t's Old Black oilers made his time , mdn't wo better vamoose ? " The door of the shanty AHXS hastily closed , and the men Tiled through the thicket until near the road , when they iiarched rapidly on In p'arallel lines vith it. After about halt an hour . 'orkins , who was loading , haltedand vipod his perspiring brow with his shirt sleeve. "Fur enough from homo now , " said 10. " 'Taint no use boiti'n gentleman f yor have to work too hard. " "Safe enough , 1 reckon , " replied ho Colonel. "We'll do the usual ; I'll halt 'em ; Logrollor , tend to the Iriver ; Cranks , take the boot , and Slack and I'erk take right and loft. Vii'1 know it's tough-hut consider- n' how ovcrhistin1 eternal hard up were \ro , I reckon we'll have to ask contri- nitions from tlio ladies , too , ef ther's any aboard oh , boys ? " "Reckon so , " replied Logroller , vito a chuckle that seemed to inspire oven his black domino with a merry vrinklo or two. What's the use of vomon's rights , of they don't ever lave n chance of exercis'n 'em. Hovin' their purses borrowed 'ml how 'cm the full doctrine in a brail low light. "Come , come , boys , " interposed the olonol , "thar's the crack of old Slack's whip ; pick yor bush quick ? Vll jump when I whistle. " Each man secreted himself near the oadside. The stage came swinging along handsomely ; those inside \\ero aughing heartily at something , and ) ld Black was just giving a delicate ouch to the Hank of the off leader vhon the colonel gave n shrill , quick vhistlo , and five men sprung into the oad. oad.Thu Thu horses stopped as suddenly as f it were a matter of common occur- ence. Old Black dropped the reins , rosscd his legs , and started into the ky , and the passengers all put out heir heads with a rapidity equaled mly by that with which they with- Irew them ns they saw the dominos \nd revolvers of the road agents. "Seems to bo something the mutter , rontlcmon , " said the Colonel blandly , is ho opened the door. "Won't you ileasoget out ? Don't trouble your- elf tJ draw , 'cos my friend hcros , got lis weapon cocked nn' his fimjer's rather nervous. Ain't got a handker- 3hiof , hov you ? ' asked he of the first ) assengcr who descended from the jtago. "IIov ? Well , now , that's ucky. Just put yer hands behind yer so that's it. " And the unfortii- mto man't ) hands were securely tied jehind in an instant. The rcmainim ; passengers were Teated with similar courtesy , and the colonel and his friends examined the pockets of the captives. Old Black remained unmolested , for who over "icard of a sfago driver haviui' money ? "Boys , " said the colonel , calling liis brother agents and comparing re ceipts , " 'taint much of a haul , but hero's only ono woman , and she's old enough to be n feller's grand nother. " "Liko enough she'll pan out more ; lmu all the rest of the state put to ether , " growled Cranks , carefully nesting the thickness of the case of a jold watch. "Just like the low-lived ieccitfulncss of some people to hire an old woman to carry their money so it'd go safer. Mobbo what blie's rot aint nothin' to some folks that's jot bosses that kin win money at races , but " The colonel abruptly ended the con versation , and approached the stage. Ho was very chivalrous , but Crank's sarcastic reference to Tipsy needed avenging , and us ho could not con sistently with business arrangements put an end to Cranks , only the lady would have to Buffer , "I beg your pardon , ma'am , " said the Colonel , raising his hat politely with ono hand , while ho drew open the coach door with the other ; "but are taking up a collection for a deserving object. Wo was goin' to make the , 'Ciitlonmn fork over the hull amount , but ez they ain't ' got enough , we will liavo to bother you. " The old lady trembled , felt for her pocket-book and raised her veil. The : olonol looked into bur face , slammed the stage door , and , sitting on ono of the wheels , stared vacantly into fipaco. "Nothin ? " queried Perkins in u whisper , nnd with a face full of gen uine sympathy. "No yes , " said the Colonel dream ily , "That is , untie them , and let the atago go ahead , " ho continued , spring ing to his feet. "I'll hurry back te the cabin. " And the Colonel dashed into the bushes and left his followers so paralyzed with astonishment thai Old Black afterward remarked that i ! tliero'd been anybody to mind the horses he could have cleaned out the hull crowd with his whip. The passengpra , now relieved ol their weapons , were unbound , allowed to enter the stage , ami the door was slammed , upon which Old Black picked up his reins as if ho hud them down at the station while the Jiorsoi were being changed , then ho crackcc Jus whip and the stage rolled off , while the Colonel's party hasteiiei back to their hut , fondly inspecting aw they wont , certain flasks they had obtained while transacting their bus ! ness with the occupants of the atago Great was the surprise of the roiu agents as they entered their hut , for there stood the colonel in a cloai white shirt , and in a suit of clothing made from the limited snare wardrobe of the other members of the band. But the auspicious Cranks speedily subordinated his wonder to bin pru deuce , as , laying on the table a heavy purge , ho exclaimed ; "Como , colonel , business before pleasure ; lot's divide and scatter.
