The Grinks rounu backed himself TO
ride a particularly ugly-tempered colt
over an awkward jump. and had got q
'cropper' for his pains.
Calling for the liquors, he rudely
| brushed past me to the counter, and
contrived to upset my drink in doing
so. 1 said nothing at all to him, but
called for another glass. The banter
| which had been loud up to the moment
died away, as everyone saw that
Crockford had tried to insult me.
after an awkward silence he turned
TO old Mottram, the veteran of the
party, and said:
"'Some peoples mighty meek and for

Some wears ago 1 crossed the ocean
from New York to Liverpool, and, as is
usual after few days out, we in tho
saloon all got pretty friendly with each
other.
1 made the particular acquaintance
of man of about thirty-ive years of
age, whose name was Compton. Tall,
thin, deeply bronzed, he looked like
one who had seen some knocking
about, but anyone could see with half
an eve the unmistakable imprint of a
gentleman.
He was returning home to England
after twelve years absence, during
which he had made his pile" in silver
mine prospecting
Looking into his berth one morning
iust after breakfast, found him busy
cleaning Winchester magazine rifle.
Always fond of firearms, l examined
the weapon with care, and we fell to
talking about various shooting cpl
sodes.
''By the bye" said he, "there is
story connected with that rife, which /
think will interest you, and if you care
to hear it, we viii GO on deck and
smoke cigar while tell it to you"
OF course l was only too glad, and l
will give the story in his own words, as
nearly as can remember them.
about four years ago, having lent
some money on the security of a cattle
ranch in Wyoming, circumstances arose
which compelled me to go to the prop
srty and remain there some months.
NV visit was OF character calculated
to rather prejudice me in the eyes Of
the little colony of0cowboys and farm
ers In the neighborhood, inasmuch as
It was connected with money difficult
ties concerning my mortgage
q found the proprietor by no means
d prepossessing sort OF man, but he
did his best to be civil to me, seeing
no doubt, that It was policy to be SO
and as also had so far been very leni
ant with him.
Amongst the hands, and more OF
less in the position Of an under boss
was fellow called Crockford, a tall
heavy manDwho from the very first
showed me marked incivility, and
whom I instinctively felt would do me
harm if he could. His record was de.
ri6edly bad, and not long before that
time in another neighborhood he had
narrowly escaped lynching for horse
thieving by fight, in fact he was no
ytoriously tough all round.
Every man about the neighborhood
rarried a heavy revolver, and mostly a
Winchester as well. l deemed it best,

One Thing Eo-cottan.

There is story that Frenchman,
experiencing the pleasure of eating a
plum pudding at the Christmas dinner
OF an English family, begged for the
recipe, In order that his friends at
home might also enjoy the dainty COM
pound. The lady OF the house wrote it
out, and the Frenchman sent it to his
home. Returning to France soon after
wards, the members of the family de-
termined to give him, as special treat
on his arrival, the pudding he had
praised SO highly during his absence.
At the proper time for such a Course
the English plum pudding appeared,
served up in soup tureen, and was
distributed to the guests in soup plates.
Not recognizing the mixture, he asked
what it was, and received the answer
that it was 'ploom pooling" 1t was
useless for him to deny it, for he was
confronted by his friends with his own
recipe. Alas. the lady who gave it to
him had forgotten-''the cloth" All
the ingredients had been put, accord
ing to the directions, into pan Of boil
ing water, had been cooked the pre-
scribed time, and the result was-soup.

Ciockford q little white puff of dust
