hands with him. The visitor was
good-looking and well-dressed. To
Mr.. Miller's horror the visitor had
called in response to an ADVERTISE
meMt for butler. Mr.. Miller's man
ner changed at once and the fellow
was ordered from the house with the
aid of a cane. The stranger, Thomas
D. Smith, was dumbfoundsd and put
ting his hand to his hip pocket, in

that he would blow his head off if
he touched him. And he slowly
backed himself out of the house.
Soon afterwards Miller lodged a.
complaint against the visitor, who,
he said. had threatened to shoot
him. Now, the man had no pistol,
but said he would shoot simply be-
cause he felt that he was in the
presence OF very strange man. The
authorities put The matter off several
days, as they felt that Mr.. Miller had
no case; but he insisted, and finally
the warrant was sworn out and the
applicant for work was arrested and
promptly released on, bail. In court
it came out that tie butler had not
been civil, had neglected to say Eyes

released and the crowd cheered, while
Miller was hooted and jeered. Police
men dispersed the crowd. The

''he's a green furrier."
s'Did these cattle belong to Ezekiel

"They did and they do" was the
reply,

ing them the paper.
The three cowboys read it. Then
the one who appeared to be the lead
er said, Stranger, you'll have to
come and see the old man. His
names Ezekiel Philpott, but he new
er signed that receipt, for bullet
happened into his elbow two weeks
ago, and he's bin in bed ever since.
He couldn't hold a pen to save his
life.''
With vague feelings of uneasiness,
the Hon. Horace allowed himself to
be conducted to the residence of Eze-
kiel Philpott, which was about three
miles away Arrived here he was
left in charge of tho others while the
leader went. and explained the situ-
alton to his master. In few min
utes the young Englishman was sum-
moned to the presence of Mr.. Phil
pott, whom he found lying in bed.
After saluting Horace with savage
glare, he said:
Perhaps, young man, you can ex-
plain why you tried to drive off my
cattle? Sam says you bought 'em
from some one',
"And so l did," Horace replied,
and at once gave full account OF
the transaction.
'Waal, stranger" said the wound
ed ranchman. that beats anything
ever heerd! That man as YOU paid
that money to amt got no more to
do with them cattle than the emper-
or OF China has. Now, look here. my
lad. I'm nigh on to 60 years old,
and Ihave been out here thirty, and

stay you'll only come to grief. A

get on hereabouts. You shall sleep
here tonight, stranger, and I'll treat
you hospitable; but, take my advice,
set out for home tomorrow.
And when that night Horace lay
on the hard bed in the old Texan s
house, the rectory on his fathers es.
tate appeared in a more desirable
light than it ever had before, and he
came to the conclusion that coun'
try parsons life was better than a
ranchman's. He has returned home
without the anticipated fortune and
minus his ,aunt's legacy.-True Flag.
