CHAPTER XIX.
Bill Watso.i.
The sheriff of EHIsvillo sat In his
office oiling the machinery of the law;
which Is to say, cleaning his revolver.
There was not yet any courthouse.
The fdierlff was the law. Twelve new
mounds on the hillside back of the
Cottage Hotel showed how faithfully
he had executed his duties as judge
and jury since lie had taken up his
office nt the beginning of the "cow
boom" of Elllsvllle. His right hand
bad found sdmewhat to do, and he had
done it with his might.
EHIsvillo was near the zenith of Its
bad eminence. The entire country had
gone broad-horn. Money being free,
whishy was not less so. The bar of
the Cottage was lined perpetually.
Wild men from the range rode their
horses up the steps and Into the bar
room demanding to be served as they
sat 'n the saddle, as gentlemen should.
CilAjfe was too tempting to the six-
shooters of these enthusiasts, and tho
barkeeper begged the question by
stowing away the fragments of his mir
ror and keeping most of his bottles out
of sight. More than once he was asked
to hold up a bottle of whisky so that
sonio cow-puncher might prove his
skill by shooting the neck off from
the flask-. The bartender was taci
turn" and at times glum, but his face
was the only one at the bar that show
ed any irritation or sadness. This
railroad town was a bright, new thing
for the horsemen of the trail a very
joyous thing. No funeral could check
their hilarity; no whisky could daunt
their throats, long scared with alkali.
It was notorious that after the civil
war human life was held very cheap
all over America, It having been seen
bow small a thing is a man, how little
missed may bo a million men taken
bodily from the population. Nowhere
was life cheaper than on the frontier,
and at no place on that frontier of
less value than at this wicked little
city.
Tho sheriff of Elllsvllle looked
thoughtful as he tested the machinery
of the law. He had a warrant for a
new bad man who had come up from
"Any
the Indian nations, and who had cele
brated his first day in town by shoot
ing two men who declined to get off
the sidewalk, so that ho could ride his
horse more comfortably there.
Hill Watson, the sheriff of Elllsvllle,
was n heavily built man, sandy haired,
rcd-niustached, and solid. His logs
wore bowed and his carriage awk
ward. He had thick, clumsy looking
Angers, whose appearance belied their
deftness. Hill Watson had gone
thiough the Quantrell raid In his time.
It was nothing to him when he was
to be killed. Such a man Is careful
in his shooting, because ho is care
less of being shot, having therefore a
vast advantage over the desperado
of two or three victims, who does not
yet accept tho fact that his own days
are numbered. The only trouble in
regard to this new bad man from
below was that his mental attitude
on this point was much the same as
that of Sheriff Bill Watson. There
fore the sheriff tvus extremely careful
about the oIHnE of the cy'inder.
He finished the cleaning of his six
sliooter and tossed tho oiled rag into
the drawer of tho table where be
kept the wan ants. He slipped the
heavy weapon into the scabbard at
his right leg and saw that the string
hold the scabbard firmly to his trouser
Jet;, so that he might draw the gun
smoothly and without hindrance from
Its sheath. He was a simple, unpre
tentious man; not a heroic figure as
he stood, his weight resting ou the
sides of his feet, looking out of the
window down tho long and wind-swept
street of Elllsvllle.
Gradually tho gazo of the sheriff
focused, becoming occupied with the
figure of a horseman whose steady
riding seemed to have a purpose other
than that of merely showing his joy
in living and riding. This rider passed
other riders without pausing. He
came up the street at a gallop until
opposite tho oince door, whore ho
Jerked up his horse sharply and
sprang from the saddle.
"Mornln', Bill." ho said.
"Mornin', Curly," said the sheriff
pleasantly. "l-ookin' for a doctor!
You're rtdln perty fast."
"Nope," said Curly. "Reckon It's a
shade too late for a doctor."
The sheriff was gravely silent.
After a while he said, quietly. .

"Any trouble?"
"Yep. Plenty."
"Who?"
"Why. it's Cal flreathouRe. You

course, they ain't no horse gettln'

The sheriff fell into thought, slowly
chewing at a splinter. "I'll tell you,"
ho said at length, slowly. "I kaln't
very well git away right now. You
go over an git Cap Franklin. He's a
good man. Pick up somebody else

then we'll see what to do about It

"All right, Hill," said Curly, rising
and taking a chew of tobacco, In
which the sheriff joined him. "All
.right. You got any papers fer us to
take along?"
"Papers?" said the sheriff contempt
uously. "Papers? Hell!"
Ike Anderson was drunk calmly,
magnificently, satisfactorily drunk. It
had taken time, but it was a fact ac
complished. The actual state of af
fairs was best known to Ike Anderson
himself, and not obvious to the passer
by. Ike Anderson's gn7.e might have
been hard, but it was direct. His
walk was perfectly decorous and
straight, his brain perfectly clear, his
trouble?"
hand perfectly steady. Only, some
where doop down in Ills mind there
burned some little, still, blue flame of
dnvllishnoss, which left Ike Anderson"
not a human being, but a skillful, logi
cal and murderous animal.
"This," said Ike Anderson to him
self all the time, "this is little Ike An
derson, a little boy, playing. I can
see the green Holds, tho pleasant
meadows, the little brook that crossed
them. I remember my mother gave
mo bread and milk for my supper, nl
ways. My sister washed my bare feet,
when I was a little, little boy." He'
paused and leaned one hand against a
porch post, thinking. "A little, little
boy," be repeated to himself.
"No, It ibirt." ho thought. "It's
lke Anderson, growing up. He's play
ing tag. The boy tripped him and
laughed at him, and Ike Anderson
got out his knife." He cast a red
eye about him.
"No. it isn't." lie thought. "It's Ike
Anderson, with tho people chasing
him. And the shotgun. Ike's grow
ing uj) faster, growing right along.
They all want him, but they don't get
him. One, two, three. Ave, nine,
eight, sevenI could count them nil
onco. Iko Anderson. No mother. No
sweetheart. No home. Moving, mov
ing. But they never scared him yet
Ike Anderson. ... I never tool;
any cattlo!"
An impulse to walk seized him, and
he did so, quietly, steadily, until he
met a stranger, a man whose clothing
bespoke his residence In another re
gion. "Good morning, gentle sir," said
Ike.
"Good morning, friend," said the
other, smiling.
"Gentle sir," said Iko, "just lemme
look at you watch a minute, won't
you, please?"
Laughingly the stranger complied,
suspecting only that his odd accoster
might have tarried too long over his
cups. Ike took the watch In his
hand, looked at it gravely for a mo
ment, then gave It a Jerk that broke
the chain, and dropped it into bis own
pocket.
"I like it," said he simply, and
passed on. The stranger followed,
about to use violence, but caught sight
of a white-faced man, who through a
window vehemently beckoned him l
pause.
Ike Anderson stepped Into n saloon
nnd took a straw from a glass stand
ing on the bar, exercising an exact
and critical taste in its solectton. "I'm
very thirsty," he remarked plaintive
ly Saying which, he shot a hole In a
barrel of whisky, Inserted thi straw,
and drank liugerlngly.
"Thank yon," he said softly, and
shot the glass of straws off tho comi"
tor. "Thank you. Not nfter me."
The whisky ran out over the floor, out
of the door, over the path and Into
the road, but no one raised a voice in
rebuke.
The blue flame burned n trifle higher
in Ike Anderson's brain. Ho was
growing vory much intoxicated, and
therefore very quiet and very sober
looking. He did not yell and flourish
his revolvers, but walked along de
cently, engaged In thought. He passed
by the front of tho Cottage Hotel. A
negro boy, who worked about the
place, was sweeping Idly at the porch
door, shuffling lazily about at his em
ployment. Ike pnused and looked
amiably at him for some moments,
"Good morning, colored scion," he
said pleasantly.
".Mawnln", boss," said the negro,
grinning widely.
"Colored scion," said Ike, "hereafter
to oblige me would you mind
whoopln' it up with yore broom a
lectio faster?"
The negro scowled and muttered,
and the next moment sprung sprawl
ing forward with a scream. Ike hnd
shot off the heel of his shoe, In tho
process not sparing all of the foot.
The negro swept as ho had never
swept before. Twice a bullet cut the
floor at his feet, nnd nt last tho stick
of the broom was shattered in his
hand. "Colored scion," said Ike An
derson, as though in surprise, "yore
broom is damaged. Kneel down nnd
pray for another." The negio knell
and surely prayed.
On all sides swept tho wide and
empty streets. It was Ike Anderson's
town. A red film seemed to his gazo
to come over the face of things. Ho
slipped his revolver back Into tho
scabbard and paused again to think.
A quick footstep sounded on the walk
behind him, and he wheeled, still puz
zled with the icd film and the mental
problem.
The sheriff stood quietly facing him.
with his thumbs resting lightly In his
belt. He had not drawn his own re
volver. He was chewing a splinter.
"Ike," said he. "throw up your hands."
The nerves of some men act more
quickly than those of others, and
such men make the most dangerous
pistol shots, when they have good di
gestion and long practice at tho rapid
drawing of the revolver, an art at
that time much cultivated. Ike An
derson's mind and nerves nnd mus
cles were nlways llghtnlng-liko In tho
Instantaneous rapidity of their action.
The eye could scarce have followed
th movement by which the revolver
leaped to a level from his right-hand
scabbard. lie had forgotten, in his
moment of study, thut with his six
shooter ho had fired once nt tho wills
gy barrel, once nt the glass of straws,
once at the negro's heel, twice at tho
floor, and once nt the broomstick. The
click on tho empty shell was heard
clearly at tho hotel bar, distinctly
ahead of the double report that fol
lowed. For. such was tho sharpness
of this man's mental and muscular
action, he had dropped the empty re
volver from ills right hand and drawn
the other with his left hand in time
to meet the fire of the sheriff.

A EULOGY ON SIN.
-Woman's Declaration' That It Is All
Worth Living For.
Tho Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Globe tells a curious story of a
certain English writer . . . who
had always, before he came to a most
disastrous end, been famous for his
want of balance." This individual ap
pears to have come by his defect nat
urally enough, to judge from tho por
trait of his mother sketched by ono
of his friends. The writer once took
that friend to see the lady In question
and this is tho way in which the in
terview ts described:
"it was a beautiful sunny day in
June, the sort of day when all normal
people want to bo out of doors. Wo
went to a pretty house In London, and
were ushered Into a drawing room.
tho shutters and curtains of which
wore all carefully closed, the gas be
ing lighted, ami where there was a
sickening smell of some vory strong
pertume. Crouched in a large chair
was tho most terrlblo looking old
dame, with long, skinny hands and
glittering black eyes. She gave mo a
claw to shake and looked at me fixed
ly. 'Voting man,' said she, 'I don't
know why you come to see an old
woman like mo, but I can give you
some cxcollont advice. Remember
this. There Is only one thing on
earth worth living for, and that is
sin."
A Child's Definitions.
The lute Frederic R. Coudert, law.
yer and wit, had a great fondness for
children. Ho collected Indofatigably
tho quaint sayings of children, nnd
one of the treasures ot his library
was a small manuscript volume filled
with definitions that children had
composed. This volumo was called a
"child'u dictionary," and these aro
some of the definitions that Mr. Coil
dorl would read from it;
"Dust Mud with the juice squeezed
out of it.
"Snoring Lotting off sleep.
"Apples The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
"Back biter a mosquito.
"Fan A thing to brush the warm
off with.
"Ice Water that went to sleep In
the cold."

Rabies.
The following Is from a circular
sent out by the Kansas Experiment
station:
Rabies docs not occur most fre
quently during hot weather, as is gen
erally believed, tho greatest losses
occurring during tho fall and spring,
but It toiny occur nt any season of tho
year. Tho tllscaso seems to appear
periodically, somo years no outbreaks
being reported, nnd other years the
losses are frequent and sovoro.
Rnbles Is a disease of tho nervous
system thnt Is transmitted from ono
nntmnl to another by direct Inocula
tion through a wound, ustinlly n blto
finm a rabid anlmnl. It is posslblo
that food or water contaminated by
an nnlmal affected with rabies may in
fect animals having sores In tho
mouth or dlgcstivo tract, or tho In
fected saliva being deposited upon an
open wound or Irrltntcd niucous mem
brano may cntiso tho disease.
Tho disease as observed during tho
year 1902 was among cattle, except
In one Instance, whero two horses
died. Tho loss among the cattle
varied from five to twenty-seven head.
In one herd of sixteen head, eleven
died from rablos. In four out ot tho
seven outbreaks reported, a dog sup
posed to bo rabid was known to have
bitten or beon among the affected
cnttle. Tho disease usually occurs in
from flvo to ten days after tho animals
are bitten, and, among cattlo, thoy
may continue to develop the dlscaso
for from eight to ten weeks after the
first case occurs.
The symptoms vary considerably
oven among cattle. The affected an
imal becomes norvoiiB and excited, in
many cases vicious, nttncklng poisons
and smaller animals, particularly. In
some instances they will dnsh nt a
person hut suddenly stop a few feet
away. There la a ppculiar wild or
vacant stare. Affected cattlo will often
push and maul other animals In the
herd, nnd there Is a tendency to lick
the genital organs of other cnttle. As
the dlseaso progresses thoy become
more excited and will often omit n
hoarse hollow frequently or nlmost
continuously. In many cases there
Is often violent straining as If to pass
dung, tho rectum often bolng everted.
Paralysis often occurs, and Is first
noticed In a wobbling, uncertain gait,
and later the hind quarters give way
and the anlmnl is unable to riso. In
a few cases tho animals will fall in
convulsions. In all cases animals
will eat and drink water uutil paraly
sis of the throat makes It difficult or
Impossible. There is frcquont shak
ing and swinging of tho head and
opening of the Jaws, with dripping of
a ropy or frothy saliva from tho
mouth. Thero is a tondency for rabid
animals to cat dirt, dung, stocks, otc.
Post-mortem exnminatlon shows no
signs of disease, although tho body Is
unusually stiff nnd rigid and tho stom
ach contains dirt nnd other foreign
material. Thero is no treatment' for
rabid animals, as death always occurs.
Affected animals should bo Isolated,
or destroyed at once to put them out
of misery, and to prevent possible in
fection of others. Water tanks and
mangers should be emptied and thor
oughly disinfected by using a strong
solution ot concentrated lye, or a flvo
per cent solution of carbolic acid.
Food contaminated with saliva should
bo burned. Suspected dogs should bo
destroyed. Persons should exercise
utmost caution to avoid being bitten
or Infected through wounds on the
hands while, caring for infected ani
mals. Consumption of Water by Horses.
In a number of feeding experiments
carried on with horses at tho experi
ment stations in the United States the
amount of water consumed has been
recorded. In testa at tho Now Hamp
shire station, in which the ration con
sisted of different grain mixtures, with
timothy hay and corn fodder, it was
found that the quantity of water con
sumed varied from 70.94 pounds to
90.4 pounds per horse per day. It wac
observed that both the ration con
sumed and the amount ot work per
formed influenced tho quantity of
water drunk, although tho Individual
ity of tho horse had tho most marked
effect. Tho amount of water con
sumed by horses on rations of timothy
hay and alfalfa hay (with oats) wuf
studied at the Utah station. It was
.found that on an average larger
amounts were consumed with the lat
ter than with tho former, the average
amounts per day being some 7S.rl and
,88.85 pounds, respectively. The great
er consumption of water on tho alfalfa
ration induced a greater elimination
by the kidneys, but so far as could
be observed this was not attended by
iany bad results nor was it found In
convenient,. At the Oklahoma station
a pair ot mules during hot summer
weather, drank 113 pounds of water
per head dally, and on one day the
pair drank 350 pounds. On an aver
ago a pair of mules and horses, each
weighing 2,130 pounds, drank 107
pounds of water per head per day
whilo at moderate work. In these
tests tho grain ration consisted of
Kafir corn, maize, oat and bran. Bul

The Growing Lambi.
A. G, Gamley of Manitoba, in an ad
dress to farmers said: By tho time the
lambs are a month old the spring will
have come; and if all has gone wo'.l
with the shepherd and his flocV, It
ought to be in good shape to com
nience the summer operations. For
a week or two feed them a few oat
C rft
sheavos boforo they go out In the
morning, and tho samo In tho evening
whon they como In, also hay in their
racks for night, If thoy will oat It.
Thoy will ont vory little hay at this
time, but It holps to keep them up un
til they got n lull blto of grass. From
now till clipping time tho shepherd
will hnvo It a llttlo oaslcr, and well he
deserves It. for If his flock Is a large
one, ho will hnvo beon hard nt work
24 houra a day nil through the lamb
ing time. Shearing ought to be done
between tho middle of May and 1st of
Juno. Until tho wool has grown give
them tho run ot tho pens nt night
to protect thorn from tho cold, also
during tho dny, to protect them from
the sun. Dip ten days after clipping,
nnd ton days after thnt again, to kill
tho ticks that have hatched since the
first dipping. Wcnnlng tlmo comes
In August or Soptemhor, nccordlng to
tho tlmo tho lnmb wns dropped.
Tho cwo lambs may bo kept sepa
rate for n week or ten days, and then
turned in with tho flock ngain, caro
having boon taken in the interval to
milk tho owes, at least twice in that
time, and tho heaviest milkers, as oft
en as required. Tho ram lambs, If bred
for tho butcher, nnd to be sold as
lambs, had bettor be sold as soon as
weaned, as thoy will fall rapidly if no
special provision has been made for
their care, such as a Hold of rapo or
turnips to run In during tho dny and
hay and grain nt night. Caro should
bo taken not to allow them in the rapo
with an empty stomach until tho frost
Is off in tho morning, nnd then not too
long nt a tlmo, until thoy got accUB
tomed to it. At weaning tlmo, and
whilo tho owes nro bolng handled, It
Is u wlso plan to mark those that aro
to bo disposed of to tho butcher. In
this connection I would Impress on the
young brooder that tho successful
management of tho flock, In n great
measure, depends on these things:
First, the cholco ot a rum; second,
eternal vigilance at lambing time;
and thtid, culling closely each yeur.
Don't keep nn old ewo or thoao not
typical of the breed; don't be afraid
to weed them out.
Meat as Seen by the Butcher.
At tho last meeting ot the Illinois
Live- Stock Breeders' Association,
held at tho Illinois Agricultural col
lege, several hundred peoplo gathorod
in the anlmnl judging room to witness
tho meat-cutting demonstration. Mr.
Samuel White, a Chicago butcher,
made tho demonstration. Tho stand
ard rib roast (Including soven ribs) is
tho part that Is injured most by be
ing too fat. Much of tho tenderloin
used In hotels and restaurants is
taken from "canners," as tho butcher
can't afford to sell tho tenderloin
from high-priced meat, as it forms
the best part of tho porterhouse. In
America the cholco cuts sell at a high
price because thero is little demand
for tho rest of tho carcass. Porter
house and sirloin can bo bought cheap
er in England than in tho United
States because thero Is n greater de
mand for the other parts of tho car
cass. Chuck brings about C cents per
pound In Chicago nnd 15 cents In Lon
don, while porterhouse brings 25 cent3
in Chicago and from 15 to 20 jcents
per pound In London. Tho American
butcher has to mako his profits from
a small part of tho carcass, whilo tho
English butcher makes hlfi profits
from all parts ot tho carcass. Porter
house steak Is an American term and
Is not generally known In England.
Room for the Litters.
A swlnd breeder says that In rais
ing pigs ono should have a houso and
separate lot for each bow and her lit
ter. This may be demanding a llttlo
too much, but it may bo thnt tho best,
results can bo ohtalnod only In this
way. If ono cannot give a separate
lot to each sow, he can at least give
a separato house. Fortunately a hog
house need not cost much. Somo of
our experiment stations have a bouse
for each brood sow, but gvo them
only ono largo lot, In which to run.
Whilo tho pigs nro so young that
they tako only their mother's milk It
Is better to keep the litters separate,
but when tho pigs have become old
enough to cat slop made of milk,
ship stuff and tho like, the litters may
be allowed to run together.
How Nature Prunes.
White tho trees are pushing up
most rapidly, the side branches are
most quickly overshaded, and the
process of natural pruning goes on
with the greatest vigor. Natural prun
ing is the reason why old trees In a
dense forest have only a small crown
high In the air, nnd why their tall
trunks aro cloar of branchos to such
a height from the ground. The
trunks of trees grown in tho opon,
whore even tho lower limbs have
abundance of light nro branchod
either quite to the ground or to with
in a short distance of It. But In tho'
forest not only aio the lower sldo
branches continually dying for want
of light, but the tree rids Itself of
them nftor they aro dead and so frees.
Its trunk from them entirely. When
a branch dies, the annual layer of new
wood Is no longer doposlted upon It.
Consequently the dead branch, where
it Is Inserted In the tree, makes a lit
tle hole In the first coat of living
tissue formed over the live wood after
Its death. The edges of this hole
mako a sort of collar about the base
of the hoad branch, and as a new
layer Is added each year they press It
more and more tightly. So strong
does this compression of the living
wood become that at last what re
mains of the dead tissue has so little
strength that the branch Is broken off
')y a storm or oven falls of Its own
weight. Then In a short time. If all
goes well, the hole closes, and after
awhile little or no exterior trace of it
remains, Knots, such as thoso which
are found In boards, are the marks
left In the trunk by branches which
have disappeared.OIfford Pluchot.
