The Shadow Of the GreenbaCk
By ROBERT BARR.
Continued from last weekly

Continued from last week
Mr.. Butler left all his property to MS
nephew in the east, with the exception
of $50, 600 in greenbacks then deposited
in the Coyote County bank at Salt Lick.
The testator had reason to suspect
that a desperate named Hickory Sam
(real name or designation unknown)
had designs on the testator's life. In
case these designs were successful the
whole of this money was to go to the
person or persons who succeeded i'll re-
moving this sooundrel from the face of
the earth In case the sheriff arrested
the said Hickory Sam and he was tried
and executed the money was to be di-
vided between the sheriff and those who
assisted in the capture. II any man on
his own responsibility shot and killed
the said Hickory Sam the $50, 600 be-
came his sole property and would be
handed over to him by the bank man
ager, in whom Mr.. Butler expressed ev.
cry confidence, as soon as the slayer OF
Hickory Sam proved the deed to the
satisfaction of the manager. In every
case the bank manager had full control
of the disposal of the fund and could
pay it in bulk or divide it among those
who had succeeded in eliminating from
a contentious world one of its most con-
tentious members.
The amazed silence which followed
the reading of this document was bro
ken by loud jeering and defiant laugh
from the man on the barrel. He laugh
ed long, but no one joined him, and as
he noticed this his hilarity died down,
becoming in a measure forced and me-
chanical. The lawyer methodically fold
ed up his papers. As some OF the jury
glanced down at the face of the dead
man who had originated this financial
scheme Of post mortem vengeance they
almost fancied they saw malicious
leer about the half open eyes and lips.

our WEST VIRGINIA GIRLS.

From North to South, from East TO West
Fair woman reigns queens
The land where woman charms him not,
Mans eyes have never seen.
But West virginia's mountain girls
Are queens among their sex,
Their charms might bring corpse to life,
A Solomon perplex.
They've romped With Nature on her hills
And gambolled in her breeze,
Till the old dame did make them rich,
With all the charms that please.
She babe the pure air paint their cheeks
With colors soft as cream;
She made the wild deer's gracefulness,
Their very own to seem.
She sent the rushing mountain streams,
That rend great rocks apart,
When love, with holy passions, filed
Veins swelling through their heart.
She took the soft, rich rays of moon,
That beautify her hills,
To give their eyes the light of love
Oh how mans heart it thrillsl
She borrows from the rainbow,
And from the clouds also;
From skies above, and earth beneath,
All plants and trees that grow.
From every HILL and every dale,
Where Natures treasures are,
Our bonnie lassies have received,
From near, and very far.
Till theirs a royal dow'ry is,
OF heart, and mind, and form,
That dazzles every manly eye,
And takes his heart by storm.
But modesty, sweet modesty,
Crowns all their other charms,
And truth and pureness in their hearts,
Gives meanness great alarms.

The Prize Money.


One thing about the war just pass
ed that is absolutely bewildering to
the average citizen who is not up to
date in such things, is the distribu-
ton of the prize money, which is
brought about by the capture of the
Spanish war vessels. Here is the list
and the amounts:
Admiral Sampson 500, 600
Admiral Dewey 5000
Admiral Schley 5000
The captains in SIMPSONS
fleet, each 1900
The captains in Dewey's
fleet, each 5000
The men, on an average los
This adjustment of prize money, is,
perhaps. according to the methods OF
the Naval usages, but just where the
Justice comes in is not so easily grasp
ed. Admiral Sampson, to all reliable
and trustworthy accounts, was miles
distant from the fight off Santiago,
and arrived only to participate in the
close of the great naval engagement
Admiral Dewey was right with his
ships all the time; Admiral Schley
engineered the fight where Sampson
gets the greater part OF the moral and
financial credit. The captains oil
SIMPSONS fleet get more than the
captains OF Dewey's fleet.
Dewey destroyed the entire Spanish
fleet within five hours after reaching
their station. Sampson waited around
for weeks before being able to get at
Cervera. Sampson gets almost twelve
times as much money as Dewey and
twenty times as much as Schley.

for the future generations OF Ameri-
cans to see how this affair was finally
adjusted, and how much of Dewey S

An awed whisper ran around the assem-
blage, each man said to the other under
his breath, Fifty - thou sand-dol-
lars, " as if the dwelling on each sylla-
BILE made the total seem larger. The
same thought was in every mans mind
"a clean, cool little fortune merely for
the crooking of forefinger and the cor
rect leveling Of a pistol barrel
The lawyer had silently taken his de-
parture. Sam, soberer than he had been
for many days, slid down from the bar
rel, and with his hand OH the butt of
his gun sidled, his back against the
wall toward the door. No one raised a
finger to stop him. All sat there watch
ing him as if they were hypnotized He
was no longer a man in their eyes. but
the embodiment of a sum to be earned
in a moment for which thousands work
ed hard all their lives and in vain to ao-
cumuIate.
Sans brain on problem was not so
quick as his finger on trigger, but it
began to filter slowly into his mind that
he was now face to face with a danger
against which his pistol was powerless.
Heretofore, roughly speaking, nearly
everybody had been his friend; now the
hand Of the world was against him,
with most powerful motive for being
against nina motive which he him.
self could understand. For mere frac-
ton of $50, 900 he would kill anybody,
so long as the deed could be done with
reasonable safety to himself. Why,
then. should any man stay his hand
against him with such a reward hang
ing over his head? AS Sam retreated
backward from among his former
friends they saw in his eyes what they
had never seen there before, something
that was not exactly fear, but look Of
furtive suspicion against the whole hu.
man race
Out In the open air once again Sam
breathed more freely. He must get
away from Salt Lick and that quickly.
Once on the prairie he could make up
his mind what the next move was to
be. He kept his revolver in his hand,
not daring to put it into its holster.
Every sound made him jump and he was
afraid to stand in the open, yet he
could not remain constantly with his
back to the wall Poor Buffers horse,
fully accoutered, cropped the grass by
the side of the road To be a horse
thief was, Of course, worse than to be a
murderer, but there was no help for it;
without the horse escape was impossi-
BILE. He secured the animal with but
little trouble and sprang upon its back.
AS he did so a shot rang out from the
saloon. Sam whirled around in the sad
die, but no one was to be seen; nothing
but thin film of pistol smoke melting
in the air above the open door. The
rider fired twice into the empty door
way, then with a curse turned toward
the open country and galloped away,
and Salt Lick was far behind him when
night fell. He tethered his horse and
threw himself down on the grass, but
dared not sleep. For all he knew, his
pursuers might be within few rods Of
where he lay, for he was certain they
would be ON his trail as soon as they
knew he had left Salt Lick. The prize
was too great for no effort to be made
to secure it.

strongest and brayest men must sue
