ward.
His father locked up the fve-shooter
in drawer, whore no thief would be
likely to kill himself with it, and his
mother left lamp burning in Billy's
room and the door open into her own.
The General-Regulator made him SC
deathly sick that Billy had to give up
the bul1aloes for that night.
What was his disgust when his mother
came into his room in the morning with
cup of tea and told him that Ben
Clark had run off in the night. And
his mother added that it was all be-
cause Ben's mother hadn't managed
him right.
Mrs. Clark never did know how to
manage her son. And then Billy's
mother said it would just kill her il
her boy should run off. But Mr.. Clark
said Ben could stay till he got sick Of
it, and then he'd surely come back.
Poor Billy! he was 50 overcome by
his mothers kindness that he made up
his mind not to go away for the pres
ent. But his heart was full of envy
Tor the good luck of Ben Clark.
He had one little note from Ben an
nouncing his arrival at Denver; and
from not getting any more letters he
supposed that Ben had gone directly
out on the plains to hunt bufaloes.
Clearly he was where there were no
postotlices. The other supposition
that he might not have money enough
to buy two-cent stamp did not occur
to Billy. In the stories he read, boys
always found money somehow when
they needed it badly.
But Billy had lost all interest in his
lessons. / he teacher had written to
his mother, but nothing could make
Billy study. He pasted the walls of
his room over with pictures of bloody
encounters between white men and red
men and all sorts of men and wild
beasts.
At last, after half year, he deter
mined to go to Colorado, having had
a second letter from Ben.
Then came another letter.
This last letter from Ben Clark had
been very short and indefinite II said
L have had many adventures, some OF
them awful rough ones, but I've not
killed a buffalo yet. They are not SO thick
as l thought. Better stay where you
arc if you don't want to see rough times.
Now, my dear friend, l want you to
lend me little money. / haven't got
any clothes, and am almost starved to
death. expect to find place in a
restaurant, and when L come home l
will pay you"
This was an unexpected turn OF
events.
Billy thought the matter over.
Billy did not go Off that night. The
next morning he had q conversation
with poor Mrs. Clark, which resulted
in the Disguised Bens coming home.
Dilly's father and mother found it all
out after awhile, and Billy tore down
all the pictures of hunting. The next
week he began to improve in his
studies. In month he was again
among the best scholars in his class.
ut he has never shot buffalo with
