LOOKING INTO empty MuxxLEs.

On the way down from Natchez to
New Orleans the boat rounded to at a
landing on the Louisiana shore to take
on lot of cotton seed. She had last
made fast, and the mate had stepped
ashore to hustle them niRgers," when
a middle-aQed man, closely resembling
the typical Southefner, suddenly stepped
out from behind the smc Ike, presented a
revolver within foot Of the mates face
and cried out:
Throw up your hands or you are a
dead manr'
There were fifty of us with our ewes
ON the two men, and We held our breath
as the mate slowly raised his arms
above his head. He didn't change color
In the slightest, and those who took
In the details noticed that he chewed
away at his plug tobacco with the
same regular motion-neither faster nor
slower.
"Now, then. down on your knees and
beg my pardon, or I'll send bullet into
your eye"
The mates legs wabbled, bent, and
down he sank and said he was sorry if
he had offended the other.
All right growled the man with

pocket. After this you be a little
more careful whom you ding your i'm
p1dence at"
As he turned away the mate made a
dive with his right hand and MP came a
derringer, out shot his arm, and in q
voice of thunder he cried:
Halt! Throw up your arms! Down
on your knees or Ill blow your brains
ell over this piantationr'
The tables we're turned. Up went
the arms, and, after few seconds, the
man went down on his knees and said
he had the highest respect for the
mates neral worth. When be rose up
the captain and others had reached the
pair, and in ten seconds more they were
disarmed.
"Ciose call, that said one of the pas
sengers, as the captain handed the YEA.
pons to the clerk to keep until the boat
was ready to leave.
"Humphl neither one Of 'em loaded, y
replied the old man.
Such was the actual fact. Two empty
and harmless weapons had humbled two
men who meant shoot.
