STORY OF BOLD BILLY.
HERE HE CAME
from and how he
happened to wan
der into Satan’s
Camp no one could
tell.
He was a boy ol
about fourteen,
freckle faced, wild
eyed, and so very
timid that he would
jump li spoKeu lu
suddenly in a loud tone of voice.
In fact, to confess the whole truth,
He was none too well supplied with
“gray matter,” although he was not an
outright fool.
Satan’s Camp was the wickedest town
of Its size in the territory. It was the
boadt of its inhabitants that more men
had bden killed in Satan's Camp than
In any other town of its age west of
the Rockies.
Not a very "healthy” place for a
timid, half-witted lad to stray into.
And it happened that the first build
ing he entered after striking the town
was “Murphy’s Hole,” the most dis
reputable gambling den and gin-mill
In Satan’s Camp.
A tough gang always loafed around
Murphy’s, and it was on hand when the
boy appeared.
“Whoop!” cried Red Hutch, as his
eyes rested on the lad, who was hesi
tating near the door. “What’s this I
see? Is it a kid? Wall, I’m derned
ef a kid haln’t come in hyer!”
Then he.pounced on the unoffending
boy and dragged him forward into the
middle of the room.
i nere tne boy was quickly surround
ed by the ruffianly crew, who t3gan
to make sport of him.
If ever a boy was frightened it was
the one in the clutch of Red Hutch.
‘Wot’s yer name, kid?” demanded
the ruffian, as he gave the lad a savage
shake. “Speak up lively!"
"Bub-bub-billy Bub-bub-bolden,”
was the reply that came through the
chattering teeth of the unfortunate
waif.
Billy Bolden, eh? Wall, that’s a nice
name for a kid like you to wear around!
Billy Bolden—Bold Billy. How is that
for a handle, pards?”
“It’s great!” shouted Red Hutch’s
sycophants, "Hooray fer Bold Billy!”
From that hour ’the boy was known
in Satan’s Camp as Bold Billy.
Before he escaped from Murphy’s he
was nearly frightened out of his wits
for he was made to dance to the tune
of pistol-shots, while the ruffians
roared with laughter.
Shaking like a leaf he finally suc
ceeded in getting out of the saloon, and
then ran as fast and as far as he
could.
Finally, overcome with terror and
exhaustion, he fell in a fainting, quiv
ering heap beyond the limits of the
town, and there Old Grim found him.
Old Grim was a grouty hermit who
lived beyond the limits of Satan's
Camp.
He was something of a mystery.
He had been there when the first
prospector “struck yaller” at the spot
where the camp stood, but the dis
covery of gold had not seemed to af
fect the queer old man in any way.
He lived on in his secluded fashion,
and the people that came to the mush
room camp grew to know him by sight,
but no other way.
He would have nothing to do with
them.
Old Grim’s clothes were in rags, and
he appeared like a wreck of better
times.
''ll
“WOT’S YER NAME, KID?"
lie spoke kindly to the boy.
At first Billy was too frightened to
tell his story, but he finally succeeded.
Old Grim listened to the end, and
then he said:
“It is like those human beasts down
there. Come with me; I will care for
you.
So he took the boy to his cabin, and,
from that day. Bold Billy was Old
Grim’s shadow—where one went the
other might be found.
While Old Grim lived, the boy never
again visited Old Satan’s camp alone.
He did not dare.
Somehow, for all of their general
ugliness, the tough3 of Satan’s Camp
had come to leave Old Grim unmolest
ed.
They regarded him as a harmless old
hermit who somehow managed to live,
and they would have regarded it as a
disgrace to pick a quarrel with him.
But they made sport of Bold Billy
whenever the boy appeared in the.
place.
One day Hank Bioodgood came into
Satan’s Camp.
He straightway started in for a rack
et.
The liquor to be obtained in Satan’s
Camp was rank, and Bioodgood was
soon fighting drunk.
He had a J-ecord, and a long one, too.
More thaj one good man, as well as
more than Vno ruffian, had fallen be
fore Bloodgaod's guns.
Re was not destined to get out of the
town without shedding blood.
The quarrel occurred In Murphy’s,
and Bloodgood shot Red Hutch dead.
Then he started out to run the town,
and he ran it for awhile.
Satan’s Camp was not a place one
man could run long, however, and
Bloodgood was soon obliged to get out
or lose his scalp.
He got out, but on his way out of
town he stopped long enough to shoot
Old Grim.
Then he went on his drunken course,
leaving a terrified boy weeping and
wailing over the body of the man who
had been so kind to him.
An hour later Bold Billy came rush
ing into Satan’s Camp.
In the greatest excitement he told
them what had happened, and then he
entreated them to pursue the murderer
and bring him to justice.
They laughed at him.
They told him they were not fools.
Bloodgood was a “killer,” and there
was no one who cared to follow him up.
When he found they would not go,
the boy literally screamed:
"You are all cowards—cowards—
cowards! Give me a gun! I will fol
low and capture him!”
They laughed at the boy, but he re
peated over and over that he would
follow the assassin if he had a weapon.
At length somebody shoved a revol
ver into his hand, saying:
“Here, ye hev it, kid; now see what
ye kin do. If you bring Hank Blood
good here with his hands tied behind
him, we’ll agree to lynch him. Eh,
pards?”
irou Detr’ cried the crowd. Go fer
him, Bold Billy, an’ make yerself fa
mous.”
Not another word did the boy say.
With the loaded revolver clutched In
his hand, he hurried out of the camp
on the trail of Hank Bloodgood.
"Thet’s the last we’ll ever see o’ Bold
Billy,” some one declared. "He’d be
Bkeered ter death ter see Bloodgood.
You’ve lost your gun, Bolly."
“Mebbe,” returned the man who had
loaned the boy the revolver.
At sunset a crowd of loafers were
gathered in front of Saint’s Rest, the
only hotel in Satan’s Camp.
Suddenly one of them exclaimed:
“Look thar, pards! Who’s them corn
in’ down ther trail?”
“Two critters, one head o’ t’other,”
said a red-whiskered ruffian.- “Hands
hitched behind him, by thunder! Ga
loot in front is tied! See ther string
that runs ter t’other one? Holy Smoke!
It’s—it’s—why, it is ’’
“Hank Bloodgood!”
"Shore’s yer born!”
“Who’s t’other critter?”
“I kinder reckon it’s Bold Billy bring
in’ back my revolver,” said Bolly
Briggs, with grim satisfaction. "Who
said I w'oudn’t ever see thet yar gun
ag’in?”
Bold Billy it was.
He had taken the “killer” captive.
Straight into town marched the boy
and his prisoner.
Billy’s face was deathly pale.
Bloodgood’s right hand had been
shattered by a bullet.
"Here is the man who killed Old
Grim, the only friend I had,” said, the
boy, his voice weak, as if from great
exhaustion. “I have brought him here
tied. Now keep your part of the agree
ment.”
He had stopped in front of Saint’s
Rest as he uttered these words.
Every loafer there was on his feet.
"Hooray fer Bold Billy!” cried one,
"Derned ef he ain’t done it, though I
dunno how he eyer succeeded!”
"Wall, I kinder reckon we’ll hev ter
keep our part of the contract, eh
pards?” said Bolly Briggs, as he came
down the steps.
"That’s right!” shouted the crowd in
unison.
Three minutes later Hank Bloodgood,
the “killer," was swinging from the
limb of a tree.
jjuiu xjnijr wiiicueu uie worK compiei
ed, then he swayed, put out his hands,
and fell in a sensel^s heap.
The men hastily bent over him.
“Great snakes!” shouted Bolly Briggs.
“He’s got two bullets in ther left shoul
der! Hr k done some shootin’, but
this yere boy took him all the same!”
“Whar’s Doc. Seldon?”
The doctor was on hand, full to the
chin with bad liquor, but still able to
extract a bullet.
The Job was done, Bold Billy’s
wounds were bathed and bandaged,
and he was taken to a nearby hut.
And there he lay for weeks, nursed
by the ruffians of Satan’s Camp—nursed
with all the care and tenderness possi
ble from masculine hands.
Doc. Seldon attended the boy, and the
miners and roughs fixed it so the doc
tor could not get a sup of liquor in
the camp during the entire time.
From a street row or saloon brawl in
which he had killed a man, a citizen
of the place would go to his bedside
of Bold Billy and play the solicitous
nurse.
And they pulled the boy through.
When it was all over, with Bold Billy
restored to health, they were all happy
that he discovered Old Grim’s secret
—found the hermit’s cabin was built
over the mouth of a rich lead—a paying
[ vein.
I Satan’s Camp was proud of him.
I The rough and tough citizens stood
, by him through thick and thin, and
when Bold Billy sold his mine and de
! parted, all regretted his loss.
I “He had sand in his craw,” Bolly
| Briggs was wont to say—“wall he did!
I saw it in his eyes when I let him hev
my gun. Do I know what became o’
him? Wall, I heard as how he went
ter 'Frisco, got inter business, married,
1 settled down, an’ has some leetle Billies
o’ his own now.”
A Drawing Card.—"How In the world
| do you expect to get guests enough at
your summer resort hotel?”
SUMMER IN FRANCE.
ThVMwt
Dtll(Ktfol Country In this
Wide World.
The people In France make a much
simpler a ff n lrefe v e r y - d a y life than we,
and thus And moi-stirne for recreation,
which, Indeed, Is so'mueh a matter of
course with them that there is no trace
of effort about' their little diversions.
Where a garden is possible, it 'bqcomes
furnished with a table and chairs, a
much-used outdoor room, roofed with,
"that dome some three miles high of
soft dappled gray and yellow cloud,
through the vast lattice work whereof
the blue sky peeps.” There In pleasant
weather the children play among the
lilac bushes and the mignonette; there
their elders resort with needlework and
newspapers; and there a simple meal
is often served. How well appreciated
are the public gardens of Paris any fine
day will show. Groups of happy peo
ple along the main walks, or in some
out-of-the-way nook of the lovely gar
dens, seem entirely at home as they
quietly make the most of their oppor
tunities for pleasure.
A pleasant feature of some French
houses is a porch before the entrance
door partly enclosed with glass. One
such vine-clad summer parlor, opening
into its tiny Paris garden, was a most
refreshing contrast to the glaring,
dusty street from which it was all hid
den by a high wall. With its cool sum
mer furnishings, and large ornamental
plants in green tubs, it made a delight
ful reception room for visitors, while
a little round table with its load of work
uusKfLH ana dooks Dore eviuence oi iae
family liking for this summer rendez
vous. In a pretty country house the
space between two projecting wings
was roofed and fronted with glasB. The
room thus gained was one of the most
interesting of its kind, being graced
with an extensive collection of the ferns
of the locality, and guarded by a pair
of curious Chinese idols holding back
the opened door on either side.
To the American In France it never
ceases to be a wonder where so much
leisure for out-of-door life Is found,
particularly as it does not follow that
home duties are shirked to obtain It.
Indeed, the proverbial French thrift is
in no way better shown than in the
readiness' with which French women
take a share in the work of the house
hold, even in well-to-do families, and
this without loss of dignity, since cus
tom sanctions the keeping of few ser
vants in Fi ance. And but few servants
are needed, as no baking or laundering
is done at home, and polished floors do
away at once with dust, and that tear
ing-up and setting-to-rights process
which wc call house-cleaning. It would
seem that they arrange their days, as
well as their household affairs, wisely
in France, and are skilled in the happy
art of making the most of each one as
it passes. For, however busy the morn
ing hours may be, in most French
homes the long afternoon finds house
hold cares laid aside for a time, while
rest and quiet enjoyment take their
place.
Perhaps one secret of this wonderful
leisure may lie in the fact that French
mothers, strange as it may seem, do not
consider it one of the cardinal virtues
always to have cake in the house, and
it ’•eally was not evident that the chil
dren suffered at all in consequence. It
is, therefore, quite possible that the
pleasant sight of mothers spending
whole happy afternoons with their chil
dren out in the open air may be partly
owing to this great lack of ambition in
cake making.
The little baskets which French chil
dren carry with them to their much
loved parks and gardens are usually
supplied with a generous piece of one of
the long French loaves of bread, and a
bar or two of sweetened chocolate. A
few sons procure thl3 quite sufficient
lunch, as well as time for those pleasant
little expeditions—it may be only to
the nearest public garden—which they
like and so well know how to arrange
in sunny France.—American Agricul

Saved from Death by Grasshopper*.
James Clone, a farmer of Stonyford,
N. Y., believes grasshoppers saved him
from death by an enraged bull. Mr.
Clone was crossing a large, open field,
when the bull pursued him. Tho far
mer ran as fast as possible, but the
bull steadily gained on him, and when
nearly exhausted a small clump of
bushes was passed, from which arose a
large cloud of grasshoppers. The in
sects struck the infuriated animal in
the face and it turned aside. Mr.
Cione escaped from the field unharmed.

Callender*! System, Which Connects With*
oat the Aid of the “Hello” Girl.
Romaine Callender, an electrical en
gineer, who has his office and labora
tory in the Decker Building, Union
Square, the other day exhibited and
gave a working demonstration there ol
an entirely new system of telephone
exchange which he has Invented and
patented here and abroad, says the
New York Tribune. The apparatus ex
'"hlbited forms a complete telephone ex
chim^e In working order, of a kind ln
tendefi for use In a small city. To ex
plain in detail the method of communi
cation between subscribers, a number
of ordinary telephone transmitters and
receivers have been placed on the walls
of the room in which the apparatus is
shown, and these instruments are con
nected with the apparatus of the ex
change proper. In the center of the
room. The whole system of intercon
nection at the exchange is automatic,
the services of operators there not be
ing required. Subscribers make their
own connections automatically by the
use of a simple device attached to their
transmitting and receiving instru
ments. By this device when a sub
scriber desires to connect himself with
another subscriber he turns two knobs,
moving Indicator arms over two num
bered dials, forming the proper com
bination of figures. For instance, if
15 were the number deBlred, the sub
scriber would move one indicator arm
to 1 and the other to 6, and within
twelve seconds, Mr. Callender says, the
bell on the calling subscriber’s lnstru
ment would ring to announce the con
nection with the subscriber at 15. The
apparatus In which the connection Is
made at the central station consists oI
a circuit selector for receiving calls and
Individualizing portions of the appar
atus to the calling subscriber; a nu
merical receiver for registering the
number of the telephone with which
connection is desired; a numerical
separator for automatically classifying
the "impulses” of the call; a numeral
izer for totalizing the numbers regis
tered by the receivers and for selecting
the telephone with which connection is
desired; a signaling track for signaling
subscribers when a connection is made
or a telephone is in use; progressive
switches, mechanisms held under the
control of a signaling subscriber until
the connection has been effected, and a
connector, by which subscribers are in
terconnected. All this mechanism ap
pears as an orderly arrangement ol
wires, keys, brushes and various other
parts, which are minutely adjusted and
bewllderingly numerous. Mr. Callen
der, who is an Englishman, hopes that
a stock company will be formed to
manufacture the apparatus and oper
ate it. He says he has already had
negotiations tending toward that re
sult. The exhibition of the apparatus
will continue for a month.
DRESSED AS A BOY.
Mother of a Girl Who Had Sloped At
tack* Her Daughter'* Companion.
Walter Connell and Minnie Goodpas
ture, a young couple who eloped from
Auburn, 111., were captured in the tim
ber in Ball township. The girl, who
is but 15 years old, was attired in a
boy’s suit and had her hair cut and had
been roughing it with Connell for sev
eral days. The young man was ar
rested on a charge of adduction. Dur
ing the trial the mother of the girl,
who was almost crazed with grief, at
tempted to assault the prisoner with
an umbrella, and the audience, which
was in sympathy With her, began to
talk of treating Connell to a dose of
tar and feathers. Connell was bound
over to the grand jury and the boy’s
family furnished bond. Connell and
the girl are members of prominent fam
ilies, and there is much excitement over
the case.
Huxley unit Tyndall.
Tyndall was, I think, one of tho
earliest members of the Alpine Club,
but he seceded after an unfortunate dis
pute, which arose In connection with
his own unsuccessful attempts on the
Matterhorn, and Mr. Whymper’s
ascent of that peak, und It was not till
three or four years before his death
that he again attended one of the an
nual dinners of the club, where he and
Professor Huxley were among the
guests of the evening. Both orated,
but in the particular art of after-dinner
speaking Tyndall was not the equal of
his brilliant rival, and his labored and
rather egotistical utterances contrasted
unfavorably with the delicate persl
llage of Huxley, who, by the way,
chaffed him unmercifully on that oc
casion as being one of the goats and not
one of the sheep—the goats who
climbed the arid rocks; while tho
sheep—among whom Huxley reckoned
himself—browsed contentedly on the
rich pastures below.
Merltt Let Down Kaally.
M. Clay Merritt, the game dealer of
Kewanee, 111., whose troubles with the
law on account of having in his posses
sion game birds out of season, has been
found guilty of 161 counts in a total
of 27,000, and fined $805. Had the maxi
mum fine been imposed upon Merritt on
the total number of counts in the in
dictment he would have been mulcted
$675,000. State Game Warden Charles
H. Blow has taken possession of Mer
ritt’s warehouse and will hold, it until
the circuit court meets. He charges
the assistant state’s attorney with
crooked work and will contest the re
sult of Saturday’s trial.
