was gambling with some of the sharks
which follow in the track of the pay-car
on the Mexican railroads, and getting
in some dispute one Of the fellows drew
his dagger and made a lunge at Rico.
The latter grasped the hand that held
the weapon as it descended, and exert
ing his giant strength, turned the point
and pushed it with ease twice against
the breast of his foe, checking it each
time before wound was inflicted, and
then wrestling the knife from the mans
grasp, threw it away.

man-yOu or me?"
"YOu, SIR" was the reply.
