A Midnight Escapade.
It was midnight as laundering
knock came at the door Of room No. 48,
Phenix hotel
what Is wantedY' asked the occu-
pant as he sat up in bed with furiously
beating heart.
1--WE want you'll Open this DOOR,
'sNeverP'
"Then take the consequences"
The man sprang out Of bed and hur-
riedly dressed himself. His face was
pale and his hands trembled, but he
shut his lips with a determination ,
sell his life dearly. He heard foot
steps moving in the hall. and presently
his door was burst from its hinges and
q dozen men burst into the room. They
found him standing with a revolver |
each hand and the light of battle in his
eyes.
"You may hang me-" he said In a low,
tense voice. "but IL of you will go into
the other world before me-"
'Who said anything about hangingT
inquired a voice.
But you have come for that. Twelve
years ago in this town 1 killed four
men. You have recognized me and
have come for revenge"
'Not much, stranger. We don't know
anything about the four men and don't
want to. You live in Missouri, don't
you"
'I do"
"Well, what we wanted to ask was
whether three of kind beat straight
in your state"
'aThey do not"
'sThen that's all. and you can go back
to your snooze. Sorry to have disturb
ed you, but we had a dispute and
wanted to settle it."-New York Sun.
