branches of trees, and rocks, and every

Hunting tha Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain Goat. as
it is indiscriminately called, is species Of big
game rarely hunted by sportsmen. This is not
so much because of the difficulty of killing the
animal, nor because of its actual rarity. 1t is
a stupid animal, easily shot when once fonnd.
1t is not, however, found in the usual hunting
grounds, as are bear, deer. elk. etc. 1t is re-
mote from. the common localities, but where
found is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber line
usually, among rocks and cliffs This requires
great labor to get to it, but once there the hum.
ter will get his game nine times out of ten.
If you care TO read Of q goat hunt made in the
Bitter Root Range in Montana, in the Fall ol
1895, send six cents to Charles s. Fee, General
Passenger Agent, Northern Pacific Railway, st
Paul, Mimi, for Wonderland '96, which 70
counts such hunting expedition.

"Inotice that the stories of 1awlessness and
rambunctious violence printed in the papers
from time to time are told, as rule, Of places

said the gray-headed young-looking man
who sat in the card-room of an uptown club
the other night after the game had broken
up. 81 don't mean by that" he continued,
" to question the truth Of any of these stories.
It occurs to me that the writers take un-
necessary pains in going so far away for their
material. have seen right along the banks
of the Mississippi River-and we call that
pretty we'll East now-some things as excit-
ing as any of the mining-camp yarns. And
everything was wide open in some OF the
towns, too. / haven't been out there since
'82, but that's not so long ago, and then it
was not uncommon to find gambling
saloon on the main floor of the principal
hotel in fourishing town. You could
walk in as freely as you could into the bar
room and play faro, keno, or poker at any
hour of the day or night.
"The great flood of '82 rather accentuated
the devil-may-care condition Of things
partly, suppose, because there was not so
much travelling on the river as usual and none
at all by rail. Strangers were scarce in the
river towns, and the inhabitants were re-
duced to the necessity of gambling among
themselves. No, there wasn't what you
might call very much shooting, but every
man carried pistol, and occasionally there
would be some. There was enough, at all
events, to make the citizens of Memphis en-
force pretty strictly city ordinance against

"That's all right" said drummer who

tended not to be watching the game very
closely. You can't be too careful about OBJ
serving the etiquet Of the place you're in,
l have always noticed, no matter what place
it is, and the people around card table are
always liable to resent an outsiders IN

Where the resentment is liable to be ex-
! pressed with the use Of a knife or pistol,

ain this case I hadn't great deal. I
saw the game was crooked, but it made no
difference to me whether the other stranger
knew it or not. If he did it was dog eat
dog, and if he didn't he deserved to lose for
playing with strangers in such place.
However, noticed pretty soon that the old
fellow, whom the others called Major, and
the proprietor, whom they all addressed as
Pete, were looking uneasily at me and at
each other from time to time, and that the
third player, whose back was turned to-
ward me, was making an ostentatiOus show
of hiding his cards from me, as If he sus-
pected~or feared nae and wanted me to know
it. Accordingly thought the wisest thing
for me was to stroll back in the front and
treat the bartender
"WhiIe we were drinking, another man
came in. He wore no coat, vest, or nat.
He was, think, the handsomest man ever
saw, though he was slightly flushed with
| liquor; not drunk, by any means, but he
had evidently been drinking. He was
| little above the medium hight, with sy M
metrical form. magnificent chest and shouE-
ders, and the easy motion and graceful car
riage of skilled athlete. He passed di-
rectly to the card-room, nodding to the bar
| keeper and merely glancing at me, and
heard him say:
"Do you want another in the game?'
i "The response was pleasant, and he took
a seat. Up to this time had not been
greatly interested, rs said, and continued
| talking to the man behind the bar. simply
| because had nothing else to do. The new
conner, however, was talkative, and, as | saw
| in few moments, inclined to be surly. de

the stranger, and I fingered, with some nat
ural curiosity, to see If he would succeed

he exclaimed with in bath, and when we
catch any crossroads gambler playing that
kind of game in sthis town we commonly
hang 'em, do you understand 2
It was said MOSTLY apd furiously, and
looked in, expecting to. see fight, but the
stranger spoke as c9ollY as though the other
had been calling fof sdraw.
