pleasantly said TO the barkeeper: Gin

was spoken IN the room Everybody
but the young man himself was
holding his breath. and he poured
out another drink that filed the glass
to the brim, and then deliberately held
il up again as a target, and there was
not quaver in it. As quick as flash
there was another shot, but it missed
the glass and the bullet struck bottle
at the back Of the bar Then il was
that the young pan turned as if he
had been on pivot, whipped pistol
from his pocket and let Mr.. Jayhawker
have IT, The first shot struck him on
the cheek and plowed a seam to his
ear. letting a cascade of blood down
upon his shirt He sind down against
the wall, but he had not got two feet
before the second shot ripped up his
other cheek and he disappeared in his
own gore behind the table.
Nobody knew how that young man
had placed that glass of whisky back
on the counter. But there il was. He
picked it up without splitting a drop,
drank it off, threw his money on the
counter, picked up his bull whip, and
went out like a knight of the olden
time. without slamming the door. We
heard the crack of his whip; the hum
boring vehicle creaked and moaved,
and as the sounds died away on the
road we heard the clear notes of some
one whistling: when Johnny Comes
Home from the War"
Mr. Jayhawker was bundled out,
sewed up and bandaged, and the next
morning, when all the men in the bar
room were discussing the occurrence in
low tones he came down, and, holding
the door ajar looked in through his

smile said: Il didrt know he was on

ICOPYRTGHT. I'm

II IS good many years ago that
young newspaper man of New York
got caught with a tenderfoot com
panion in border town on the ragged
edge of civilization. The two men had
ridden long distance, and there was
only one tavern, which was the resort
of all the worst characters in that new
country. They were tired and they
had to make the best Of it. When they
had eaten a dinner of pork and corn
bread and the mud and darkness shut
them in. they went down into the bar
room, there TO encounter for the first
and last times in their experiences the
traditional jayhawzer Of romance, who
owns a private burying ground and
keeps the ueighborhood well painted
with his friends gore. He was on deck
in the barroom and already half intox-
icated. He wore two regulation re-
volvers in his trousers. His hair was
long and matted as if he had been
n protracted bat" and his dirty
slt lched hat was showed back on
his head viciously There were
fou4 or five men in the place besides
the barkeeper, and It appeared at once
that they had all they could do by the
most subservient amiability to keep
this ruffian from opening a promiscu-
Gus firing upon them in the intervals
of drinking Drink we all had 10, or
die. and there really wasn't much diff
ference, considering the quality Of the
whisky. Our jayhawker. his eyes in
famed and the veins standing out pur-
pie and black on his brawny neck
merely touched one Of his pistols and
inquired if there was any man in the
room who had sand enough To refuse
to drink with him, This was one of
those cases in which discretion if not
absolute cowarlice is Tho better part

of whole catalogue of virtues for any
man who did not want to be carried
out feet first 10 the aforementioned
graveyard. SO the men in that bar
room who were getting white in spite
of the whisky as they contemplated
the probable outcome of the process,
marched up to the bar at his com
mands, smiled up his insults and
swallowed the poison.
After this had been repeated several
times and the pack Of cards was pro-
duced there was a momentary lull in
the group Something had driven mp
TO the front of the house The creak of
the w cells. the strain Of the animals
and the plash Of the mud told every
body that il was one Of those heavy
canvas-covcred army wagons that were
then the official meansof transportation.

the room against the wall. with his
cards ON tn, table in front Of him
Even the broken awed barkeeper fell
into the general tableau of eXpecta-
tjon Then the door opened from the
road and a stalwart, long.limhed,
handsome teamster came in, He had
on pair Of long cavalry boots and a
hunting shirt. In his hand he carried
his long black bull whip. He could
not have been over twenty-one. But
there was quiet dignity about his
step and his mien which affected the

Buffalo Bill, who, single handed, kept
open the communication between Fort
Hayes and Fort Larned, when it was
as much as a nlaa's life was worth to
stray out of sight of the bivouac or
cantonment; who covered that iron
trail to Fort Dodge that the Pawnee
ponies had worn in the Buffalo grass
who carried dispatches through
the long stretches of the wilder
ness without other guidance than
the stars or other companion
than his horse; whose indomitable
strength of purpose and untiriug
patience won for him the admiration
of the little army that was posted IL
the desert and who afterwards rode at
the head or on the TANKS Of half

in none of these things did Capt Jack
