"Anybody kin talk to u.s." added Bill,
with q sly look and q strange smile that
made bis countenance, evil as it was, ap-
pear more villainous.
"Humph!" exclaimed Hank Dawson
dryly, you're most too ready, for the
majority as knows you, Bill"
Then pausing to add effect to his
words, he added, "and as for being
here when you're wanted-by gum! it's
the first time ever know'd you to be on
hand when you was wanted for anythin'
useful, Ned Monk"
The Monks excha lged looks Of rage,
while the listeners laughed at the thrust
the brawny blacksmith gave them.
AS for Hank Dawson, he laughed him
self, laughed loudly. Then he changed
his mood suddenly. Turning to Ned and
Bill Monk sternly, he said:
"Now, then! what have you done with
Dan Bash?"
The crowd approached. gathered

The giant of Pine County faced them
as if he felt able to deal with the Monk
gang individually and collectively.

responsible for the important work.
Among the directions of the period is
q prohibition against painting in gold
or gliding the back of saddle save in
laying on of pure gold, yet the maker
is allowed to paint the saddle bow in
front according to the dictation OF his
fancy.
The oldest English saddle in exis-
tence is that of HenryV., representing
the examples in use in the Fifteenth
Century. All that remains of this is
the saddle tree, which is of oak, and
still retains the padding of hay cov-
cred with canvas.
This historical relic, which is now
over Henry's tomb in Westminster
Abbey, was originally resplendent with
blue velvet powdered with golden feur
de lys, possibly in memory OF Agin-
court. The saddle is twenty-seven
inches in length. Many magnificent
examples of the saddlers skill IN the
Sixteenth Century still exist. A fine
collection in the Royal Museum OF
Dresden contains one specimen owned
by the King of Saxony, the bows OF
which are ornamented with elaborate
representations Of battle scenes, grit
fins, sea monsters and rich foliage,
some of these being in repousse, others
in intaglio and chasing. There is
splendid collection, too, Of these ar-
mored saddles in Madrid, made IN the
same century. Some Of these are OF
velvet, massively embroidered IN
precious metals, Damascened or chased
in gold with designs of spirited AND
beautiful workmanship.
In the calendar of State Papers
for the year 1910 there is absorption
of q saddle used by Queen Elizabeth,
who was especially fond of riding. Ihe
record is a warrant to pay the sum OF
e266 13s 4d. to David Smyth, the
Queens embroiderer, for a side saddle

period. This was for the pommel and
cantlc to be continued in a circu-
lar band or rail which completely sur
rounded the rider, who must have
climbed or dropped into his saddle. A
curious specimen of this description
is German "tilting saddle" of the
Fifteenth Century, which is preserved
in the Tower of London, bought in
1853 from the collection of the Baron
de Peuker, of Berlin. 1t is made Of
wood and covered with hide and can
vas, upon which there has been paint
ing. The front measures over three
feet and forms shield for the legs of
the knight who, when fairly mounted,
would be carried forward in standing
rather than sitting position.

Increase at Compound Interest.

At the birth Of his son father placed
at interest ut 6 per cent the sum Of 81 900,
and each year invested all the interest at
the same rate. When the boy was 81 years
old, he found himself the possessor of 49,
399. So. Being a young man of pluck and
energy and anxious to try his hand in un-
aided competition, he told his father to
keep the money and he would take his
chances with the poor boys Of his ac-
quaintance. When the son was SO years
old the father notified him that his fortune
had grown to over SlS, ,420, using round
numbers. At 70 the father called his
sons attention to his fortune of over $780,
900, and since the son had received the re-
wards Of his industry he did not still take
possession of the fortune. The father soon
after died, and in his will required his ex-
ecutors to keep the principal and interest
loaned until the son should receive 1t or
be removed by death. The latter lived to
a good old age and on his sons Tooth
birthday, besides the accumulatiOns of a
busy and prosperous life, was encountered
with fortune of $3.50, ,3O0.-kansas

never WAS"
Acting on this information, the Catholic
cemetery at Oakland was visited, only to
bring forth the information that no such
body had sver bean inferred there. and the
further information that suicides were not
buried in consecrated ground.
This was reported to Schultz, but It did
not feaze that remarkable individual In
the least.
"You misunderstood me-" remarked tho
romancer. "What / said was that she was
buried in the Catholic cemetery Mt San
Jose. recall the trip down there on the
cars very distinctly"
And 10 the investigation went on for
many weeks until even the most stubborn
believers In the guilt Of Schultz came
around to the theory1hnt Is now held by
all--that he is a rank impostor, who proba-
bly, never laid syss on Arbanasin and never
was in the Three Mile House, where the
murder was committed, until the officers
took him there.
But the, investigation into the confession
accomplished something. 1t brought out
the life story Of an odd character.
Schultz was q charity boy. He passed
hts babyhood In an orphan asylum and his
childhood in a ladies' home. At the age OF
IL he was taken ont Of the home by Mrs
Messick, . farmers wife, living near Lin
den, in San Joaquin county. This kind
lady gave the boy home for several years.
She says she found him never trllsty boy
and the worst story teller she ever knew
He was SO anxious to lie even in those days
that he would say he had had his dinner
when he hadn't.
Finally Schultz ran away from the Lin
den home and drifted to San Francisco and
shipped as cabin boy in whaling ship.
The long nights in the forecastle strength
| ened his youthful inclination for lying and
added to it an approved imagination of the
sailor sort. When he got enough of sailing,
he went ashore and got in the habit OF
drinking to excess, and in his cups the old
penchant kept by him.
From this condition Schultz was rescued
by the Salvation Army. He was not long
rescued, however, although he remained

HOUSE WHERE ARBANAs1N WAS KILLED.

with the organization long enough to wear
the uniform and to get quite reputation as
a manipulation Of the bass drum. He then
got back to liquor and finally found his way
to his old home at Mrs. Messick's.
Schultz drifted to Stockton, CAL, a few
days after the Arbanasin murder. He was
seen reading the reports of the crime very
attentively, and it is supposed 1t was there
he got all he had to tell about the murder
when he gave himself up few hours later.
What led Schultz to make his bogus con
fession can only be surmised. There is one
somewhat similar case in criminal history,
and that is the case of Woodruff, who came
forward during the Cronin excitement in
Chicago and confessed he was the driver of
the celebrated white horse and had helped
to kill Cronin, when the fact was he had
never seen Cronin in his life. The motive
in Woodruff's case was past finding out
and SO it seems to be in the case of Schultz
But perhaps there was method in Schultz's
confessing. He was out of money and out
of clothes and too lazy to work. Besides
it was not at all sure he could work If he
wanted to. On the side of confessing was
the prospect Of good, fairly comfortable
quarters in Sheriff Cunningham's new Jail
for period long enough to tide over the
hot season, with nothing whatever to do
during the livelong day but to weave yarns
for the detectives and be made famous by
the newspapers These were inducements
that would have appealed strongly to a man
like Schultz.
But if Schultzs decision to confess him
self murderer when he was not murder
er can be explained, what is to be said of
II I Il l~xz IL
the contrary Nothing can apparently
move him to say anything else than that
he was the man who killed Arbanasin. He
says it on every occasion and to all inquir-
erS.
