cnAnfxY WAS VERY MECH INTERESTED.
MARI that he had bought with part Of his
cotton picking proceeds and started TO Hem
rieita 10 see the sights. or course he took
his winchester and his six shooter along.
The first sight that attracted him was .
very agreeable gentleman named Tom
Boyd. who was exhibiting three pieces OF
pasteboard to an adiniring crowd and
showing them what an easy thing Il would
b. 10 guess which one would come upper
most in case he were to throw them down
on the table. Charley was very much In
terested In the matter and felt confident
OF his ability to tell exactly which card II
would be. So confident was he that before
he knew II be had Lost every cent Of his
money on the carsis that perversely insisted
on doing Iu-t what be expected them NOT
TO- Like all men, however. who sncceed In
their special line of business, he had the
courage Of his convictions. and hence Of
ferei to bet his mare against go that he
conld guess the right card this last time
anyway. Mr. Boyd was kind enough 20
accept his proposition. but the cards were
not NO Kind and again refused to do what
II was obviously right that they should do.
That night Charley Hughes was In n bad
condition. He was q stranger In q strange
land. without money, without supper and
without even horse to 70 home on. What
should be dor lie pondered the subject
awhile and then made mp his mind. Late
that night he went to Boyd's stable and
stole out the feet mare that only few
hours before had been his own property.
Ny hard riding he reached Red River sta
tion before day light and spent the rest Of
the night there.
Meantime Boyd had discovered bis loss
and had interviewed the sheriff OF Clay
county In regard TO IL. That Official seems
to have been busy about something else ut
the time. 10 be compromised matters by
deputlzing Boyd and telling him 10 attend
TO his own case Boyd was a professional
gambler. 1t Is true. bur this fact did not
interfere with his being made a special
deputy. lie got on Hughes track by some
means and reached the station some hours
before noon. Hughes heard OF his arrival
and concluded to travel farther east.
boyd fonnd Jack Pollard, a Montague
county deputy, and four other men, and to-
pvther the posse started out in pursuit.
After they had travelled some nine miles,
Just m they were crossing particularly
level reach OF prairie. the figure Of horse
man sueideniy appeared over the rise Of
hill half mile to the east. IL was Charley
Hughes. and he had his winchester at his
shoulder PiDgi pingi went two isaden
balls. and two horses aud their riders were
down Ia struggling. confused heap.
To way that these shots demoralized the
posse wouid be TO put Il lightly. However.
when the dust cleared away. 1t was found
that two ponies we're writhing In their
death agunies. while their riders were un-
hurt. The distance was Too great for any
effective shooting In return, and. moreover.

nE INDICATED nus CoSrEMPr FOR THE PosSk.
trntsd Had not Hughes been regarded as
such desperate man, the posse would have
approached within short range and brought
matters to n speedy conclusion. As 1t was.
q detachment was sent 20 the fort at the
station TO AS; for piece Of artillery, while
the others kept up 9 IRE all through the
night.
Meanwhile during the night the be
leaguered men kept mp their courage by
shouting unpleasant names NJ the posse and
firing random shcts that had q vicious
whirring TO them. Finally all was quiet
Next morning all wan still quiet, and on In
ve-tigation the officers found the barricade
deserted. The river was still dangerously
high, but the two men had SWAN Il during
the night. Hughes noon appeared on the
opposite side In full sight bending over,
he made certain gezturss At the posse In a
manner that might fairly be construed as
conten,ptuous lie thought be was ont OF
gunshot. but Henry Sewbury. one OF the
posse. had q long range buffalo gun. whiss
Hughes was still Indicating by signs his
contempt for the posse. Newbury raised bis
sights and ared. the ball going between
Hughes legs.
With yell Of astoniahment the bad man
took to the woods aud WAS seen no more
for the time being. Before swimming the
river he and Slosan had abandoned their
guns and horses. The latter were discov.
cred hid in a canyon. They were allowed
TO stay there. though, - every one had ia
throat cut.
For about a year a'ter this Hughes and
Slovan terrorixed the whole district. Heavy
rewards were offered for their capture. but
nobody ever captured them II they stole
all the stock they are credited with, they
had q enough TO stock large ranch.
Hughes was considered desperate man
rnd fine shot. but somehow be never kill.
I'd anybody and never seemed able to hit
any body.
All things have an end, however. AM,
Hughes WAS no exception to the rule. II
any reader OF these lines feels attracted by
his desperate but bloodlexs career, let hisn
note the aud Of IL. Gu one occasion Hughes
and Sloyan stole yoke of oxen and q
wagon and drove 10 Denison 10 dispose Of
the outfit. Hughes stopped with his oxen
ON the outskirts Of town, while SlovAn

recognized him aud informed the officers

guns and then awakened him. When he

SENSITIVE HORSES.

Harsh treatment, though it stop
short of inficting physical pain, keeps
a nervous horse in a state of misery.
On the other hand. it is perfectly true
as a besotted but intelligent stable
keeper once observed to me, IA kind
word for a boss is as good sometimes
as feed of oats
A single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan
family, was thought as a 3-year-old
to be the fastest trotting stallion of
his day. He was a very handsome,
stylish, intelligent horse, and also ex-
tremely sensitive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one
of the best reinsmen in America, once
made the mistake, through i'll temper
or bad Judgment, of giving Daniel
Lambert severe cut with a whip,
and that single blow put an end to
his usefulness as a trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable in harness and
remained so for the rest of his life.
In dealing with horse more than
with most animals one ought to eXer-
else patience, care and above all the
power of sympathy, so as to know il
possible the real motive of his doing
or refusing to do this or that. To ac-
quire such knowledge and to act up,
on it when required is a large part OF
the ethics of horse keeping.

ABROGATING THE FEES.

Mrs. Pigg, a very charming and vi
vacious widow, called recently ON a
legal friend of hers to consult him on
a matter of interest to her.
you know, sir" she said to him,
that when the late Mr.. Pigg died he
left Inc all his fortune, much to my
satisfaction, of course, but he handi-
capped me with the name of Pigg,
which / must say l don't like"
WELL" ventured the attorney, 81
presume handsome woman isn't
especially complimented by being left
a Pigg."
Il should say not" she laughed.
Now, what l came to see you about
was whether or not 1 must apply to
the legislature to get it changed
"Um-er," he hesitated as if wres-
Ting with great legal problem, "um
-er-yes, but an easier way is to apply
to a parson, and I'll pay all the ex-
penses myself"
1t was sudden, but a widow is never
caught mapping, and she appointed
that evening for another consultation.

KATE FIELDS EYPERIlIENT.

Miss Kate Field tells the following
instructive story: when last in
Europe, l imported American satin,
determined to practice what | preach
"a performance of such difficulty APP
parently as rarely to be attempted
| went so far as to prevail upon Worth
to make up this material, though it is
against his rules to expend his taste
on foreign fabrics. The result was a
beautiful costume, yet it well nigh re-
quired surgical operation to make
some women believe that the satin
was American. is it possible?' I'D
no idea such good looking satin could
be made in this country Does it
wear?" care you quite sure it is pure
silk - These were the usual exclama-
tions and questions. Bless their igno-
rant souls, women don't realize that
European black silk has been deterio-
rating SO rapidly as greatly to help
successful production in the United
States. Our manufacturers take a
foreign silk, find out its weaknesses
