showed that not only did the outlaws
recognize that the days Of their reign
were over, but that Governor Critten-
den had by this coura geous course won
even their respect and confidence. One
day, about a year after the death of
Jesse, the governor received a letter
from Frank James asking on what
terms he might surrender. The gov
erenor answered it, directing the letter
to ST. Louis, in the care of the person
named by Frank, saying that he could
make no terms, except that he would
guarantee James a fair trial. and that
he would protect him in all the rights
which the law afforded him. This, and
no more.
Nothing was heard Of the matter
until two months later, when one dull
day in Jefferson City, two men came to
call on the governor. The first of these
was Major Edwards, the Kansas City
editor, now dead, and the other a very
quiet, ordinary looking man, whom ne
secretary, 'Phiny FAIR, as Captain
Stiles of Saline county.
While Edwards went in to talk with
the governor, Farr and Stiles sat down
and had a long talk about persons they
knew in the state, after the fashion of
natives of that state, whenever they
get together. Farr described his visitor
i
low, with nothing very noticeable about
him except a hard, steel-gray eye,
which had an unpleasant way of look
ing at you steadily without winking.
1 remember Fairs description of that
Interview. James seemed to know
everybody in Missouri, and what
baff1ed me was that man with such
a wide acquaintance was so utterly UNI
known to me that | could not recall
ever hearing his name mentioned.
after awhile Edwards came out, his
friend Stiles joined him, and they went
away. Half an hour later Edwards
came back and had another long con-
versation. with the governor. After it
was over, and Edwards gone, the COVER
nor came out, and remarked rather
quizzingly, What did you think of Ed
wards friend Stiles? Do you know who
he was? 1t was Frank James, and he
/ is coming here at o'clock to give him
self up
The governor was evidently feeling
very happy, and he sent around to the
various state dignitaries. suggesting
that they come over and discuss a
bottle of champagne with him. They
came, but none of them, Of course, had
| the slightest inkling that such per-
lsonage as Frank James was within a
thousand miles. The champagne was
rather slow in coming. and the gathered
officials began to murniur somewhat, as
Missourians are apt to do under such
circumstances, when in came Edwards
and his quondam friend, Stiles
THIS is MR.. FRANK JAMES.
Governor said Edwards, here is the
| gentleman who has a little business to
transact and desires me to introduce
him. This is Mr.. Frank Jamesp

and remarked in perfectly collected

and remarked in perfectly collected
way:
q Governor, have come to give my
self up, and I am going to do 1t without
asking for any bargain or for anything
more than a fair, square deal under the
law. I want to say that l never com
mitted the crimes, nor robbed the
banks, nor stopped the trains, nor killed
the men, nor committed any of the
thousand crimes that have been
charged up against me. l have been
fugitive-just how I became such is too
long a story to tell. I've been an out
law for twenty years, hunted like
son that I surrender. don't do 1t to
avoid capture, for [ could do that just
as easily for the next twenty years as
have for the last. You may like to
know, too perhaps, that you're the first
man that ever had Frank James
prisoner for a minute. If you want TO
know why I surrender, l can tell you
that I've got wife, as you have, and
boy that doesn't know his own name.
I've made up my mind that l am not
going to be hunted any longer, but l
am going to live like other men do
with their families.
"'I give this to you, governor James
added, unbuckling his gun, and not to
the state of Missouri If you ever need
a weapon and his eyes twinkled, / can
recommend this as about right. Now,
I'm your prisoner. Governor Critten-
den, what are you going to do with
me?
'"The. governor replied that James was
under Indictment for the Blue Cut train
robbery. and that he would have to go
to independence to stand trial. AS the
train did not start for some time, the
governor turned James over into the
custody of Farr Within ten minutes
after the surrender the news was flying
about Jefferson city, and big crowd
gathered to have a look at the noted
outlaw. Frank became visibly uneasy,
and finally said:
you?'
NO said Farr, 4 haven't
't'Well, replied James, I wish you
would get some, for you don't know
how I feel. I've always been used to
carry a gun, and 1 feel sort of lone
some without EN-, Then. too there are
like to walk up and blow my head eff
just for the name of doing it I'd
rather that wouldn't happen, and if you
could get some guns [ would feel a
great deal more like eating
'F'arr procured the pistols, two of AZ
caliber, and one of these he obligingly
presented to James After they got
start rdfT concluded tnat II there
was going to be any trouble it would
be great deal better to let James
have the other gun-James was so
much handler at that business And
so he took the prisoner to independence

prisoner having both guns, and if there
/, was any protection to be offered, Farr
would be the protected

was a pronounced humorist, said final
ly, after much thought:
WANTED TO SEE A TRAIN ROBBED

was pronounced humorist, SAID nnal-
ly, after much thought:
WANTED TO SEE A TRAIN ROBBED
Mr.. James, 1 don't want to let
you think for a moment that you know
anything about such matters, but I've
never seen a train held up and 1 am
simply dying to witness the operation,
especially if l can do so from the
standpoint of a disinterested specta-
tor. You'v got the guns; now suppose
you try it, just for the sake of a little
excitement
James retorted: 'Farr, it's more
than evident that you don't under
stand these matters. These people
have been down to ST. Louis, and you
ought to know that they haven't got 81
in the crowd. a man couldn't make
enough money off this train to pay the
interest on a mortgage on a yaller dog
When the party reached Indepen-
dence, there was a big crowd to meet
them, including Frank James wife
and mother. 1t had been understood
between the governor and Frank that
a. friend of Frank should be ready
promptly to offer bail. The friend was
there, and after a short parley he
asked Marshal Murphy, to whom he
had been turned over, what was the
amount or the pail.
oh, there's no bail in this case,
remarked Murphy, coolly; this is a
murder case. This man is indicted for
the murder of Billy, Westfall. the con-
ductor of the train that was stopped
in Blue Cut
"Westfall was the man who led the
Pinkertons to the James house the
night that his tiger of mother had her
right arm blown off with a hand gren-
ade. FAIR overheard Murphy and saw
in a minute that there YVES likely to be
trouble, especially as Frank had those
two Colts. He tried to restrain Muir
ply and tell him the situation. But
Murphy replied:
:" don't care if he's got an armory.
He's going to stay right here and he
will never get out as long as 1 am
marshal. He may get me, but my
brother is good shot, too, and I think
between us we will have the gentle
man when the row is over
James seemed in a second like an
other man. He gripped his gun and
looked as though about to make a
break for the outside. His mother
jumped up excitedly and cried: Shoot
your way out, Frank; shoot your way
out; there amt no marshal can lock up
my boy Frank
Mother, replied Frank, as he
hesitated, I have not found your adj
vice always for the best; there's some
! body else interested here; now, what
has she got to say?' turning to his
wife. He bent over her and told her
that he had two guns with him, and
added, I've been in tighter pinches
than this. and I think I am just few
too many for that bluff over there,
pointing to Murphy. The wife sat
down on the proposition, and. turning
to Murphy, Frank handed over the two
| revolvers, and then fishing down in his

The lmost Important feature about
that very common complaint. catarrh IN
the head. is Its tendency to develop in
TO some other more serious and danger
ous disease. The foul matter dropping
from the head into the brochisl tubes or
lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis
or consumption. that destroyer which
causes more deaths IN this country than
any other disease. AS catarrh origin
stes in inquiries in the blood, local ap-
plications can do but little good. The
common sense method OF treatment is
to purify the blood. and for this purpose
there is no preparation superior to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The powerful ac-
ton OF this medicine upon the blood ex-
pels every impurity, and by 30 doing
cures catarrh and gives health to the
entire organism.
