out from behind the hill where they
were secreted. Knox faced his foes,
and standing stock still, pumped lead
at them until he fell down dead. The
next day party of Us was made up,
and we went out where the fight took
place. Knox's body lay there amid the
cactus in the sun. The Apaches. con-
trary to their usual custom, had not
mutilated the fellows body in the
least. They had taken clean pocket
handkerchief out of Knox's pocket and
carefully spread it over his face, and
had fastened it there By putting a small
stone on each corner of it to hold it in
its place and keep the hot sun from the
dead mans face. That was their tribute
to the sand in Knox. Seventy empty
shells were found that had been
emptied from Knox's Winchester, and
one of the raiding Indians afterward
said that their party numbered forty
two and that Knox had killed seven of
them. Pomona Progress.

A THRIFTY GLASS.
An Instance of the Extortion Practiced by
pawnbrokers.

II
Pawnbroixers.
He is not much of pawnbrOier who
allows an opportunity to make an hon
est dollar escape him without taking
advantage of it.
One Of the best-known pawnbrolers
IN the Bowery was attending to a num-
Der of impecunious customers one day
last week when a well dressed foreign
er stepped in, handed him a remarka-
bly, fine diamond ring and asked how
much he would advance on it.
The pawnbrol1er glanced at 1t a
moment and asked: "How much do
you want?'
Il don't know" was the hesitating
answer. "Is it good for eighty dol
iars?"
Without answering the pawnbrol1er
walked to the back part of the shop
and disappeared for a moment Then
he reappeared. threw eighty dollars on
the counter in front of the foreigner.
and asked what name he should put on
the ticket.
81 don't want any money" exclaimed
the man Il only wanted to know how
much YOU would be willing to lend on
the ring
what name shall put DOWN." was
the pawnbroker's sole response.
Don't put down any name, said the
stranger. showing some excitement Il

isn't my ring at all. It's a friends

can raise on it,
There's your money" replied the
pawnbroker
But l don't want it, tell you,
only"
well. then, you can leave it there
for some body else to pick up. Here's
your ticket l can't spend my time
bothering with you any longer.
The foreigner protested in excited
tones and insisted that he must have
the ring at once. Finally the pawn
broker. with the cir of person who
was doing great personal favor, told
the stranger that at the regular rates
it would cost him two dollars and forty
cents interest to recover the ring.
"But." said he, ''as you say it's mis-
take. I'll let you have If for dollar
With a disguised air the man took
dollar from weli-worn purse. gave Z
to the pawnbroker. who picked up the
eighty dollars and handed back the
ring.
AS the stranger turned TO leave the
na,vnbroker told him TO tell his friend
he could have sixty dollars or one hum
dred dollars on the ring any time he
wanted.
Then, as the door closed behind the
foreigner, the pawnbroker remarked
