is a vast amount OF labor to be per-
formed. consultations. council, retlcc-
ton. Judgment. good taste. prudence,
discrimination. zeal, and non partisan
ism of all kinds, are pre-eminen,ly de-
manded everywhere. The great pri-

Colonel; "but ez it's Gid Black

The door OF the shanty was
hastily closed and the men filed
through the thicket unit! near the
road, when they marched rapidly
on in parallel lines with it. After
about half fan hour, Perkins, who
was leading, halted, and wiped his
perspiring brow with his shirt
sleeve.
"Fur enough from home now,"
said he. "'Taint no use bein' a
gentleman eff yer have to work too
hard"
"Safe enough, | reckon" replied
the Colonel. SWELL do the usual !;

"Reckon So" replied Logroller,
with a cbuekle that seemed to In

merry twinkle. ''What's the use
of women's rights eff they don't !

bran new light"
They're treacherous critters,
women is,' remarked Cranks;
"somc Of 'em might put a knife into
a teller while he wuz 'pologizin'."
"Ef you're afraid ov 'em," said
Perkins, "You ken go back an clear
up the shaDty.'
"Reminds me ov what the Bible
sez," said Logroller; ".'ther's a
lion on the trail; Ill be chawed
up, sez the lazy galloot, or words
10 that effect"
"Come, come, boys" interposed
the Colonel, "don't mix religion an
bizness. They don't mix no more
tban-ITello, thar'S the crack of old
Blacks whip! Pick yer bushes,

Each man secreted himself along
the roadside. The stage came
swinging along handsomely; those
inside were laughing heartily about
something, and old Black was inst
giving a delicate touch to the flank
Of the off leader, when the Colonel
gayea shrill, quick whistle, and
five men sprang into the road.
The horses stopped as suddenly
as ifit were matter of common
occurrence. Old Black dropped the
reins, crossed his legs ard stared into
the sky, and the passengers all put
out their heads with rapidity
equaled only by that which they
withdrew them as they saw the
dominoes and revolvers Of the road
agents.
"Seems to be something the mat
ter, gentIemen," said the Colonel,
blandly, as he opened the door.
"Won't You please get out? Don't
trouble yourself to daw, Cos my
friend here's got his weapon cooked,
an his fingers is rather nervous.
Amt got a handkerchief, hev yer?''
asked he of the first passenger who
descended from the stage. ''lIey +?
Well, now, that's lucky. Just put
yer hands behind you, please--so
that's it" And the unfortunate
man was securely bound in an in
slant.
The remaining passengers were
treated with similar courtesy, and

amined the pockets Of the captives.
Old Black remained unsnolested.

The Colonel abruptly ended the
conversation, and approached the
stage. lie was very chivalrous,
but Granks' sarcastic reference to
Tipsie needed avenging, and as he
could not consistently with business
arrangements put an end to Cranks,
the old lady would have to suffer.
81 beg your pardon, man," said
tie Colonel, raising his hat politely
with one hand, while he opened the
coach door with the other, "but
we're taking up a collection fur
some deserving object. We wuz
a-goin to make the gentlemen fork
over the hull amount, but, ez they
haiu't got enough we will hev to
bother you"
The old lady trembled, felt for
her pocket-book, and raised her
veil. The Colonel looked into her
face, slammed the stage door, and
sitting down Oh the hub of one of
the wheels, stared yacantly into
space.
"Nothing" queried Perkins, in
whisper, and with a face full Of
genuine sympathy.
"No-yes," said the Colonel,
dreamily.
"That is, unite 'em, and let the
stage go ahead" he continued,
springiDg to his feet. "l'll hurry
back to the cabin" And the
Colonel dashed into the bushes,
and left his followers SO paralyzed
with astonishment that Old Black
afterward remarked that "efthere'd
been anybody to hold the h6sSes,
he could hev cleaned the hull
crowd with his whip"
The passengers, nov relieved Of
their weapons, were unbound,
allowed to enter the stage, and the
door was slammed, upon which
Old Black picked up his reins as
eoolly as il he had lain them down
at a station willie the horses were
being changed, then he cracked his
whip and the stage rolled off. while |
the ColonePs party fastened back
to their hut, tondly inspecting as
they went certain TASKS they had
obtained while trauSacting their
business with the occupants Of the
stage.
Great was the surprise Of the
road agents as they entered their |
hut, for there stood the Colonel in
a clean white shirt, and in a suit Of
clothing made up from the limited
spare wardrobes OF the other
members OF the gang.
But the suspicious Cranks
speedily subordinated his wonder to
bis prudence, as, laying on the table
a watch, two pistols, a pocket-book
and heavy purse, he exclaimed:
"Come, Colonel, bizness before
pleasure; let's divide and scatter.
Ef anybody should hear bout it,

Colonel, with abruptness and a

the Colonel had passed.
Had the gallant Colonel known
that he was followed, and by
whom, there would have been an
extra election held at the latter
place very shortly after, for the
pursuer was the Constable Of Chal-
lenge Hill, and for Constables and
all officers of the law the Colonel
possessed hatred of unspeakable
intensity.
On galloped the Colonel, follow
ing the stage road, which threaded
the old mining camp on Duck
Creek; but suddenly he turned
abruptly out OF the road, and urged
his horse through the pines and
bushes, which grew thickly by the
road, while the Constable galloped
rapidly on to the next camp.
There seemed to be no path
through the thicket into which the
Colonel had turned, but Tipsie
walked between the trees and
shrubs as if they were the familiar
objects of her own stable-yard.
Suddenly, voice from the bushes
shouted: "What's up?"
'Business-that's what" replied
the Colonel.
"It's time" replied the voice,
and its owner-a bearded six-tooter
emerged from the bushes and
stroked Tipsie's nose with the free

"You bet" SAID the man. "All

with the rocks, an somethin' with
more color than spring water.
Come on"
The man led the way and Tipsie
and the Colonel followed, and the
trio suddenly found themselves
before a small log hut, in front of
which sat three solemn, disconsolate
individuals, wholooKed appealmgly |
at the Colonel.
"Mac'll tell yer how twas,
said the Colonel, meekly, |
"while | picket the mare"
The Colonel was absent but a
very few moments, but when he
returned each Of the four were at

Mac was distributing some domi-
noes; made from rather dirty |

"'Taint SO late ez all that, is
