went to ofTerin boot. All this time
Andy said nothin-only kept on shakin
his head-tll the stranger run the fig
gers up TO $50, when the trade was
closed and Andy put the money in his
left flank pocket. Then they dis
mounted and changed brides and
pulled OIL their saddles. And, man
sir, when the stranger walked around
and saw that awful hole in the pony's
back he dropped his saddle to the
ground and l thought in my soul he
would 60 off in a dead trance right
there in the big road.
Say, mister, l wouldn't ride that
dang thing home and turn him loose in
my fathers lot for $50" says the young
man when he recovered from the shock
sufficient to talk.
You made your own trade, young
man." says Andy, "and if you don't love
to ride, walkin is tolerable good at
this season of the year"

says the young man, whilst his voice
wavryed and trembed like he was
fNin to cry.

settlement" says Andy, but we don't
trade horses that a way around Rocky |
Creek"
81 will give you the pony even trade
for my mare, and you can keep the
boot money" the young man went on,
ookin powerful sorry like and pitt

ScalIop-Bnck Horses All the Go.
The young man was so tremendous
glad to swap back most anyway till he
went OFF reioicin, whilst Andy he rid
home on scallop-back Billy, with $50
spot cash landed safe in his left flank
pocket
Nobody knows for certain how many
times Andy has snapped off scallop-
back Billy, but he gets him back every
clatter with little boot money throwed
in for good measure. The stranger
which first snapped him to Andy sent
trader into the settlement oncst, and
sent him after scallop- Billy at any
price. But Andy got onto the trick,
and when finally at last the trader
shook 500 at him for the calico pony
Andy would only shake his head and
say:
Not this year. Some other year,
prehaps. Tell the man which sent you
here that | love him ike twin brother,
| do. And tell him moreover also that
the scallop-back horses are now all the
go around Rocky Creek"
And so if it ever comes to pass that
you mought pitch ont to try your hand
with swappin stock, you can keep in
mind that there is one man in this great
which always falls like a cat
IN his feet. 1t would pay you likewise

The London Statist has published
an article on the worlds gold produc-
ton since 1850. with the article a
chart is given showing the variations
in production in each year from 1851
to 1896, from which the first striking
fact to be gathered is that the pro-
duction of 1896, compared with the
average production of the years 1851
80. is practically double the value.
Approximately, the yield of gold for
1896 may be stated as 1925. 200. 900,
against an average of $10S,600,000 for
the period of 1SS1-9O. For 1896 the
production by fields was as follows:
United States, $54OOO.OOO; Australia
S44,9i0,000; Transvaal, $43, 100000: In
dia. $29,jj5,G00; Russia and other coun-
tries, S53 4S5,0O0; or a total of S225.-
O00,OOO. The grand aggregate of the
gold production since 1850, inclusive
is. in round numbers. S., SIS. 900, 900. OF

French city, we received not
much more hospitality than in
the American cities, and we
crossed the river and continued
our journey having nothing in view
but the procurement Of employment.
1t is in this way we arrived at the
home of old Col. Boudreaux and
for two years we worked on his
plantation following the pursuits of
farming. 1t was a life of TRANQUIL
ity, sweet and honest, which we re-
greet having discarded to follow the
evil promptings of ambition; the
love Of fortune, and the desire for
gold with the devil suggested y,
US through the leaves of a book en-
titled the "James Boys" 1t was
by reading this book we were lead
to steal. Why work in the field ?
Why walk behind a pillow? And at
the end of the year receive not
enough to buy clothes to put on our
backs
To rob one of his gold in single
night appeared to us much easier.
The birds had eaten the crops and
we were discouraged. Then to put
our new plan into execution we
bought two revolvers and made two
polgnards of files. After being we'll
armed we decided to rob Martin
Begnaud and eight days afterwards
we were on our way determined to
execute our project. For two days
we hesitated, but the third, Cthe day
following the election) April 81,
1896, we fully succeeded. That
night we arrived at Scott at Q
O'Clock. All was calm and quiet.
Nearly everybody in the town were
asleep, with the exception Of those
in Simeon Begnaud's saloon. 1t
was yet too early to begin our work
and we sought refuge in the tall
grass along the railroad, watching
the movements of all those who
were in the saloon. Shortly after
the doors of the saloon we've shut
and everyone went home. We saw
M ar,in Begnaud going toward his
store. The time to act had come.
| 1t was then or never. We walked
! hurriedly to the store, but we ar
rived too late, the door having al
ready been closed. We knocked
at the door. Martin Begnaud came
and asked, s'who is there 20 cit is
