Said the man who had travelled:
years ago in a western frontier town
a traveller, footsore and weary, arrived
one afternoon and made his way down
the one street Of the burg He was
suddenly startled by the sounds of
shots. and. looking up, discovered four
men shooting at one another. The
men were standing at the four corners
Of an imaginary square, and each was
shooting at the man catacOrner to him.
Being in what he supposed a safe posi-
ton, he paused TO watch the outcome
Of the fray. when n bullet, going wide
Of its intended mark, cut by his ear.
That reused his wrath, and, drawing
his pistol, he dropped the man in his
tracks who had all but dropped him.
Another bullet flying wide from its
mark. but near TO the stranger, caused
him TO lay out one OF the other pair,
and the two remaining men sought
safety in flight. In that particular
town duels had been previously com
paratiyely harmless amusements, ow-
ing TO the poor craftsmanship of the
contestants. but the man who could
shoot had arrived, and the inhabitants,
although they turned out to greet him
in a body and grant him the freedom
Of the city, did 50 in manifest ave and
trepidation.
Whenever he told the story after
ward, he used to wind it up impress
lively by saying, And. boys. in that
