A Merry Cook.

Not so very long ago a large band
of cattle were resting up IA few miles
from Vinita. in the Indian Territory,
before being driven across the line to
Kansas. The boys belonging TO the
outfit were a particularly hard lot,
and in six weeks no less than five
cooks had left the camp in disgust
as no matter what they did or how
we'll the food was prepared, the meu
were sure 20 growL The head man
was in Quandary when the fifth
man left, "a he knew he would have a
hard job To find another. To his sur
prise, however, soon after sunrise
next morning, Il short, sinewy son OF
Erin walked into camp, and, after
lighting his pipe, sat down on IA di-
lapidated gripsack and inquired IL IA
cook was wanted.
Ii did not take tie boss long to
make bargain with the man, who
said his name was Mcmillan. He WAS
soon installed in his position slowed
his grip away, and after IA wash in
the creek began the operation OF get
ting dinner The boys sized up the
new arrival as the beans were dished
out, but said nothing. morning,
however, the fun began. One man
asked Mac where he learned 10 fry
pork another remarked that he for
got To put the coffee in the pot But
he was deaf 10 all until Joe Taylor,
the biggest man in the camp, said he
would be hanged il he could eat such
biscuits rs those, and il there was no
Improvement in the grub at noon.the
cook would hear something drop.
At the first mention OF the biscuit
the pipe fell from Macs mouth, and
he stood listening until Taylor had
finished. Then, walking quietly over
10 the wagon. he fished ont pair of
Colts revolvers, aud marching up To
the giant growler, shouted, "lou
amt got 40 appetite, but you sit
down aud eat them biscuits, or III
plug you before you can wink. There
was n wicked look in Macs eyes ~ hr
spoke, and Taylor saw the cook meant
business. lie had n pistol in his belt,
but he also knew that before he could
draw il he would be dead man.
Eat them biscuits. came the order
again, while the rest OF the crowd sat
around with grin, taking in che fun.
There was no help for il, so Taylor
sat down. and before Mac let him 20
he had eaten every biscuit in the pan,
and wss stuffed so full he could hardly
breathe.
II thought you would soon nnd
your appetite, said Mac. Then turn
ing to the rest OF the boys, he asked !:
"How's the cofTeeg' Every one re
piled that 1t was fine, and all agreed
that the pork was cooked TO IA turn.
Mac stayed with the outfit several
months, and when he lefttthe boys
swore he was the best cook west of
