Why He ApOlOgized.

There were five of us hunting and
fishing in the Puma range, and one
rainy day, when we were sticking close
to the shanty, a stranger appeared. He
said he was tramp barber on his way
to Dobbs Ci6y, and as none of us had
been shaved for fortnight we gave
him half day. work. He had a steady
hand with the razor and was an expert
with the shears and the only peculiarly
any Of us noticed about his work was
that he let his razor lovingly linger on
the throat. Wegave him his dinner and

"Yes, we gave the barber a job"
''And he shaved each one of your"
"He did, and did it well.'
"Boys, do you hear that?'' shouted
the man as he turned to his companions.
"What of it?" asked one of our party.
"Why, he went insane yesterday and
cut mans throat in his barber chair
over at Unadilla, and we're after him
to put him in an asylum"
They rode away at gallop and next
morning returned to our camp with the

The Greatest Victim of All.

The first mail which reached the min
ing camp of Wolf Hill after we got a
postoffice consisted of five letters. The
recipients took them and retired to their
shanties to devour the contents, and aft
er quarter of an hour Bill Haynes re-
appeared among US with solemn counte-
nance and his letter in his hand and
said:

woman is dead"
We were trying to console him in our
rough but we'll meant fashion when
Tom Preston appeared. He also held an
open letter in his hand and looked as if
ready to cry. When asked the cause,
he said:
"Boys, my ole woman is no more on

words Of sympathy, and then Joe Davis

1t Wasn't q Scoop.

At Red Creek the stage stopped for
half an hour for the passengers to get
dinner and the driver to change horses.
As we drove up in front Of the shanty
hotel from the west an army paymaster
in an ambulance drove up from the
south. With him was a guard Of six
cavalrymen, and while the paymaster
entered the inn with US to take dinner
the soldiers ate their bacon and bareback
in the shade of the stables. We had
been eating for about ten minutes when
there was a sudden hurrah outdoors,
followed by dozen rifle shots Five
men on horseback and sixth in buck
board drawn by mule dashed out Of
the thicket quarter Of mile away,
and sweeping down on the paymaster' 8
rig had transferred the safe to the buck
board before one of us reached the door.
One outlaw had been killed by the fire
of the soldiers and two soldiers had
been wounded by the fire of the out
laws. The fellows were off at full gal
lop, and the score of shots fired after
them only fastened their speed. The
paymaster was the last one to leave the
table, and as he came out an excited
stage passenger called to him:
'"There they go, major

officer

'Great Scott, man, but are you going
to let 'em git away with all thatmoney?"
shouted the half frantic passenger.
Gall of what money!"
"Why, in the safe.
'There isn't shilling in it." said
the major as he returned to the dinner
table. "One of the door hinges was out
Of order, and so I was carrying the
money in this carpetbag."
He reached down and lifted up tt
bag and opened it to show us $40, 900 IL
crisp greenbacks, and as he snapped the
lock he sighed and said:
'Sorry for the fellow out there and
his gang, but perhaps they'll have bet

9 O'Clock in the morning to inquire my
way, and in front of the store sat two
men, who were busy talking. One of
them had an old silver watch, and the
other owned the poor old mule hitched
to post. They had come together to
make trade and had been talking for
an hour, and as I rode off one of them
said:
"I'll trade yo' even up. Jim, and if

Along toward night next day I rode

same two men. I couldn't see that they
had moved by an inch. They weren't
saying word, however. On the con-
