"Can it be possible that this handsome
looking man is the ar.famed Col Bowie?"
whispered MIR. M, in my ear.
1T is SO" | replied; and before could

and terrible look passed over his features.
&" Our party had a most desperate fight with

At this moment a loud shout caused US
to turn oar heads; almost Immediately the
cry of"A man stabbed" reached our ears.
Som the crowd opened, and the gambler
came forth. His hands were covered with
blood, and in the right hand he bore huge
knife, dropping with blood. Suddenly, he
turned, wiped his knife on the coat Of Il man,
who stood near him, and burst into a loud
laugh.

B. On hearing this, the gambler thrust the
knife into its sheath, and approached US.
"Merely man stabbed-that's all, y he
said. "Any of you gentlemen wish to play

Bowie.
"Why nots" asked the gambler.
"Because, for all know to the contrary,

On hearing this a large crowd collected
around US.
"Do you mean'to insult met"

"Y,s; it was that slew him." replied the

A terrible look passed oyer Bowie's face.
