sef all about the r00n-coa-ks q
h,s hat of aud c0a- he'd tail he was al
most black IN the faoe-coUghed tai
the tears ssreamed doxn his cheeks
till he seemed not to have breath
left to cough more, or 10 utter o
syllable, when be took his hand
kerchief FROM his eyes, shook his fist
ct the sstonished deputy barkeeper
and rushed out of the saloon with
out a word, leaving his glass Of
LIQUOR standing On the counter.
Hugh was frightened and bewil-
dAred. He took the whiskey bottle,
held Il up 10 the light, and carefully
examined it, fearing; he had made
some mistake. Finally, to make
sure. he tasted it, and found it to be
y whiskey, and pretty fair whiskey, too.
He had but little more than re-
-covered his usual serenity Of mind
when a gentleman came IN and said;
"Have You got any good brandy
real, genuine brandy-no manutac-
tured stuff? :.
"What do you take usfor?" cried
Hugh. "There's not a drop OF
doctored liquor of any kind about
this establishment. No such brandy
as this was ever before brought to
Eureka. 1t cost 1922 gallon in
San Francisco. It's like oil!'
The customer poured out a liberal
allowance, but had no sooner at
tempted to swallow it than he began
coughing and spat out what he had
taken into his mouth. He held
both hands to his cheeks and whirled
round on one heel like dancing
Dervise, then ran for the water
pitcher, and finally began coughing
as though he would cough up his
lungs.
cough, o-ough-hood! hough!'
coughed he. "Call that brandy ?"
and doubling up like half-open
jack-kpife, he coughed himself out Of
the saloon.
Again was Hugh astounded, and
again he critically inspected the
liquor he had dealt out. He was
finally convinced that it was all right,
but that the fault was in the people
something wrong with them.
About the time that he had ar
rived at this conclusion man came
in, and spreading himself out before
the bar to good advantage, said:
Have you good article of gin
real good, pure gin?"
"Of course we have-never keep
anything else. What do you take
US for?" and Hugh reached down
he gin bottle from a shelf behind
him with his left hand, while with
ais right he brought up from under
the bar Q cooked revolver, which be
,.ointed ct the head Of his customer
rs he placed the bottle before him,
saying, " Now, you cough, d-n
souf"
That customer didn't cough
0" We have heard q great deal
