SKETCHES BY M.QUAD
Looking Tor His Tweuty-third.

We shouldn't have suspected that the
man in the smoking car with long hair
and big hat and fierce expression Of
countenance was western terror II he
hadn't given the fact away himself He
looked just like scores of other local
travellers In the far west, and no one
had given him any particular attention,
when he rose up and uttered q whoop
and added
Its my time o. day fur KILN man I
Is thar anybody in this Car who'll look
cross eyed at me and gimme an excuse
fur sheddin his bloodp"
No one accepted the invitation. We
were a humble and peaceful dozen and
when the terror drew and fourished a
revolver almost as long as his arm ev-
cry man wished himself somewhere else.
Won't some of you call me liar?"
asked the man, as he seemed, to grow
more savage--"Call me liar or q
buffer or order me to sot down. I'm
dyin to kill man, but want some ex-
Goose fur it! If you only knowed how
lonesome was to add another tally
mark to my list and make the number
23P'
Nobody wanted to call him names
and become his twenty-third victim,
and he went ON to say that he had a
private graveyard at Cheyenne, hos
pital at Laramie and free undertaking
establishment at Deep Cut. He was the
man who downed Rocky Mountain Jim.
He was the chap who cut short tho ca
reer Of Kansas Sam. 1t was his bullet
which laid Colorado Jack in the cold,
cold grave. He had robbed Stages, hold
up trains, fought Indians, chased sheriffs
and filed the land with unmarked
graves. He hadn't done II to be mean,
but Just because killing Of his fellow
men came natural to him the same as a
tick comes natural to clock. He had
hoped to kill at least one of us, but as
we obstinately refused to give him an
excuse he would ask that one Of us 60
back and ask the conductor to telegraph
on to White Peak and have bad man
in readiness on the platform. The dozen
Of us rose up as one many to carry the
message, but at that moment passen-
ger who had the cut Of a preacher saunt
cred into the the smoker with cigar
in his fingers. He stopped short when
he saw the terror with gun, but only
for second or two. Then he advanced
and quietly asked:
"What sort of circus is this?"
Its my time o. day fur KILN hu-
man bein" shouted the terror, as he
waved his grun around his head.
"Oh, that's It'll Give me that gunp
"Whoop! Here s victim. Say, stran-
ger, If ye know a prayer
The preacher reached for the gun,
seized it and raised window and threw
it out. Then he quietly said:
"Sit down therep'
"But, say, do you know
"Yes, knowl Sit down or I'll throw
you after your old gum"
The terror sat down. He sat down
with jar and all at once, and the 9TH
er lighted his cigar and calmly observed:
"You stay there until ready to leave
the train, and we don't want any more
of your talk"
There was no shooting-no talking
The terror leaned up against the Car and
closed his eyes and rode for 80 miles
without opening his mouth again.
When he finally got off at small sta
ton, he was asked if he expected to find
his twenty-third there, but he limped
away and pretended not to hear.
