Systematically There were medals and
trophies innumerahle, and among other
thing, there was rude painting, done in
yellow, red and blue, representing a white
woman grasping the hand Of an Indian
girl. There were no words explaining its
mcaniag-ouly in the lower left corner ap
pe8rpd the letters K-ra-lc. Jim held this
picture before him Il long time and studied
IT, and a great sigh wellcd from his lips
and tear strayed down his rugged face
my poor dead pardr' he muttered ard
brushed the tear away; then he arose and
went to the sitting room, still holding the
picture bcfor" him; he handed it TO is sis
ter without word She glanced at /, and
laughed, but her laughter was cut short
by the hoarse. almost savage, voice of Cap
tain Jim
Don't ye laugh at that" he cried My
pard painted that the night he died Thar
never was stidier hand than WhistIing
Billy's, nor Il truer heart, nor "A kinder one
And won't allow nobody to laugh at the
picture he painted the night he diedw
Forgive me, Jim" said his sister softly
IL didn't know about this Tell me about
Whistling BillyY'
Jim leaned back in his chair and closed
his eyes and commenced the broken, dis
jointed narrative in a tone almost tremu
lous:
81 knowed him in AriZony. We drifted
around the country a good deal together;
we slept in shack in the mountings, aud
on blankets on the prairies, and on the
sands in the desert never asked him his
name and he never asked me mine ! was
Captain Jim and he was Whistling Bill
ly. And the way he could whistlel On
some Of them lonesome nights, when thar
was only coyotes around us, and the stars
was shining, and was homesick, he would
whistle Annie Laurie, which dad used to
whistle ut home, and | would throw my
arms about that boy and kiss him, it
worked on me so. And he told me stories,
Nellie; stories that made him break down,
and then ] broke down. We roughed it
together many a month-did Billy and L."
The captain drew his hand over his damp
forehead and continued, his eyes still closed:
Zone might've was in Arzony-Billy
and me was camped by little hollow, and
thar was sand all around us, and the
Apaches were near, we knew, but we didn't
expect danger We was already to go to
sleep; we had slung hair lariat in a circle
around us to keep the snakes away, and
Billy told me about a sweetheart of his in
the east-a gal, he said, was just like an
angel-and he said when he made his pile
he was going back to marry her. We
couldn't sleep, somehow; the tarnal skee
tiers bit so thar was no rest And the moon
come up, Nellie as bright as silver Ye
never see moonlight till ye're in the des
ert, whar 1t glitUers on the sand. And
Billy says, says he Seem as we can't sleey

three bricks Of color. Aud I'll never for

me the picture you see. Says he: Captain
Jim, what's the use Of the whites butcher

whites? Some day tharll he peace. and
the nations will shake hands,
The words were scarcely spoken, Nell,
when ping! went rifle, and Billy rolled
over dead, the blood streaking down bis

bullets ratified around me, but didn't

Captain Jim's voice failed him. He arose
and walked across the room TO and fro, anG
mis- sister sat crying

around his If the coyotes haven't emptied
them"
And Captain Jim sat down again, anG

didn't you say this was the day lovers
sent pictures to their Swecthearts2"
Yes, Jim. why2'
Il don't want to keep this picture any
more, I can't stand il, ye see, to look at it.
SO am going 10 send it to Ella. and some
day Sc can tell her its history"
But, Jim, that isn't the kind Of pic
turc TO send to "A young lady on Valentine
Day 1t doesn't express the right senui
ment'---
1t does, too, II expresses the sentiment
that the best Teller on earJh painted it just
before he died And Pm going TO send it
TO her right now
There was no arguing with Captain Jim
He rolled the picture up and addressed it
and then called in a neighbours boy, and
with the generosity which had made him
au object Of vencration to the young Of
the town gave HIM dollar To carry it to
the residence Of Miss FansIer
al she asks yr any questions, kid, tell
her it's a valentine from Captain Jim. and
my siSlrr'II explain it..
When the boy had vanished Mrs Evans
explained to her brother that it was against
all precedent to let a lady know from whom
her valentine came, but Jim couldn't see
the logic Of the proposition.
"Of course" he said, she'll want to
know who it came from; it's only nat'ral
And now, Nellie, I'm going to take a long
walk and try to forget my pard Billy and
think about what's to be done
Then the great, guarled and rugged cap
tain left the hotel and roamed into the
desoIate country by the river and strobe
on, hour after hour The short winter day
was deepening into dusk when he returned
he was tired, and he slept well that night
and awoke in the morning almost happy
in the prospect of going back to the land
Of dangers
When he descended to the breakfast
room his sister greeted him warmly and
announced that she had "A message for

her at once" she said Il knew she'd

"What foolishness lid she say that,
JIM"
"She did and honor her for it. If had

Perhaps the Teller is in the mountings,
where he can't write, we see, and he may
come to her some day when he has made
his pile, aud then what would he think if

IL don't know, but sorter think she
does, but what's the difTerenceP She'll not
marry until the Teller she promised is
proved dead and so thar's only one thing
can do"
"And that's to stay here and wait until
she changes her mind"
"No-great alligators! don't want her
to change her mind, Nellie" and Captain
Jim arose and shook back his masses of
hair. Pm going west To find out if that
Teller is dead or married | feel it in my
bones from what she said that he went to
Arizony II he's above ground ri find
him"
Then the captain left the room, and
Mrs Evans leaned her head upon her
hand and cried She had hoped that Jim
would always be with her Until two
months ago she had not seen him since she
was very little girl, and perhaps she
loved him the more that he had come TO
her like stranger. And now he was 20
ing back to that land of dangers, where he
had been SCARED and wounded so often,
and she wept, for she knew it was useless
to endeavor to change the purpose Of Cap
tain Jim.
When the boarders at the hotel had eaten
their breakfast and departed on their sew
eral errands on the morning of the 18th Of
February Captain Jim and his sister seated
themselves at the table and made II silent
pretense Of eating. Mrs. Evans eyes were
moist with uushed tears, aud Jim's were
gloomy beyond expression. The stiffness
became so oppressive that Mrs. Evans ER
roically broke it by saying
This is Valentine Day, Jim
What Valentine dye mean, Ole Jim
that runs the sawmilli"
Gracious! You know what Valentine
Day is, don't youY

"Why, no can hardly explain what it

"Oh, they do? WAL, they're lucky to

Poor little girl! | reckon IN have 10

We the almost deserted streets Of
the sleepy river town Of Westport, and
even Captain Jim shivered as he trudged
toward his sisters hotel hardened as
be was TO elemental cruelty by his
years Of experience on the plains. And
Captain Jim was as gloomy as the
weather. His brow under the sombrero he
wore even in winter was furrowed; his
lips under his grizzly mustache were pale
and his gray eyes were stern ana sad.
"Thar's only one thing | can do, he

the sitting room, where his sister greeted
him with pleasant smile and a "lowdy

81 don't do very good Nellie" sighed
the captain as be sank into chair and
stroked his long hair with a massive hand.
And while he is sitting and signing and
while his sisteris viewing him with amused
curiosity the chrOnicler Of this little
history Will eudeavor to tell something
about them.
The lady Mrs. Evans, was the widow Of
4 gentleman many years her senior who

Indians on The WASTES Of Arizona, and as a
government .rnut knew every mile of

And at last Captain Jim grew hOmcsiCk
and having some money he determined to
visit the home OF his boy hood and see the
old folks and his brothers and sisters. But
they were dead long ngo-ali except Nellie
