BILL BARTON'S BOAST.
He Never Oueered His Friends Nor Shook,

He Never Oueered His Friends Nor Shook
His Mother.
After the trial, confined in his small
stone box in the county Jail. in that
wild mining town in Colorado, Bill Bar
ton had plenty of time to think.
But strive as best he might. his
thoughts always went around in the
same circle, beginning and ending with
a single name.
That name-well, never mind it now.
No home, no good influences. no
words of cheer or consolation. Such
had been the life led in the past by this
man. When he was not sitting in the
Happy Days saloon he was over in st.
Golfers gambling hell, playing his
money across the green.
How he came to drop his man he.
really never knew. The rude Justice
of the place and the twelve red-shirted
men declared it murder. and he laughed
like mailman when they said that he
should die ON the ninth day by stretch
ing hemp.
And as he sat in that damp, narrow
stone box night and day. day and night,
with his doom coming nearer and
nearer. gradually his spirit of bravado,
began to break. Somehow. in the long
watches of the night, back again came
sweeping that name, for he was always
thinking of it now, and it was always
there.
Then came the last night on earth.
It was a tranquil one for Bill Barton,
the murderer OF Sandy Mcbride
Strange to say, he managed to sleep

gone now when life had meant so much
more to him than these later years had
ever known. Into his dreams that last
night sweet tranquility stole that did
not seem to be of this world.
And tina. na1ne-it was always there.
At daylight the sheriff touched his
face and babe him rise and meet his
death with his boots on, like man.
Bill Barton smiled. The boys gathered
around the tree. The parson offered
his words. 1t was very still, and Bill
kissed the Book. but said not "a word.
Then they asked him # he had anything,
to say before his soul was swung off in,
the dark.
In his face came pathos such as lives
only cncc in ii lifetime in his voice the
resolution of one who calmly welcomes,
death.
He turned to the gang.

that an old gray-kaired woman shall

They say Bill Barton's death was like .

pain. In it the man who never uueered
his friends squared up his black years
of wrongs.-N. Y. Recorder.
