room. He found Maxwell in bed. Argu-
ing that, If he would permit a visit Of this
sort to his place, he would also inform the
visitor in case he had opportunity, Gar
rett commanded the ranchman to lie quiet
ly in bed where he was He enforced this
demand with an alternative which had suf-
ficient weight. He then stepped back of the
bed where Maxwell lay, and. in order 10
keep the latter quiet he rested one arm
across him and with the other kept his
own pistol handy.
Pat Garrett was a good shot with the
heavy six-shOoter. Once, while some or US
were practicing with pistols, Pat Garrett
at a distance OF some ten or twelve yards,
put five bullets from his slx-shooter in a
postal card which nailed against a
tree. Now 1 will be particular, said ne,

which latter he did practically as stipu-
lated
Along toward midnight a horseman rode
up and stopped his horse not far from the
ranch house. He came through the gate
where the two deputies were sitting. In
order not to make any noise this horse
man kicked off his boots, so that, as he
actually stepped over the threshold of the
door, he stood with his boots in his left
hand. This surely was moment OF mortal
danger and Of mortal terror to the two
deputies who held guard without They
were saved by, Providence alone knows
what, of change in the mental action of this
little fiend VINO was now playing the last
act Of his red drama. For the first time
and the only time in his life Billy the Kid
entertained a suspicion and failed to shoot
first and ask his explanation afterward
He looked with a certain doubt upon the
two figures squatted down in the semi
darkness.
"Ouien esp" CWho is it?) he asked.
Amigos" (friends) one of the deputies
had strength enough left to utter. He
knew perfectly we'll who the little man
was, standing there at the door, with his
boots In his hand and the muzze Of his
revolver now pointing toward him hesi-
tatingly.
Now, the figure Of Billy the Kid standing
thus half hesitating, In the moonlight at
softer thought of love and goodbye in his
soul, Just as there had been a thought OF
home and mother at the beginning of his
career, presented an object visible enough
at a distance Of q few feet to any one
within the room. The long left arm of Pat
Garrett held Maxwell tightly to the bed
His own long legs slowly uncoiled as he
rose up from his place, crowded between
the bed and the wall. The Kid heard
some sort of sound behind him, and quick
as a flash he whirled, hesitation no more a
part of him. 1t was too late. The aim OF
Pat Garrett, even thus in the half-dark,
was accurate as ever. Billy the Kid, his
face toward the firing, fell forward into
the room. Yet SO quick was his own men
tai and muscular action that he had, before
receiving mis- death wound, fired his own
shot in reply. Garrett fired again as the
Kid fell. Thus there were three shots In
all fired, but of these only two were ever
located-the first shot, which killed Billy,
and the shot from the Kids revolver, which
went high and lodged in the wall above the
bed

ANIMAL PSYCHOLOGY.
A Great Many Things to BE Learned in
that Line.
New Orleans TimestDemocrat.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
Animal psychology is to be studied,
see. in Paris" said an observant citizen
yesterday, land the scientists are going to
That is a good plan. 1t is a broad field,
and research along these lines will no
doubt be productive of much interesting
data Heretofore what scientists have said
along this line, and in fact all they have
learned has been Of a theoretical nature
and il may be said that animal psychology
has not passed beyond the purely expert
mental stage. Darwin came nearer formu-
lating an exact hypothesis than any other
scientist when he took up the study of the
emotions and the means Of expressing
them, but even this splendid treatise is
lacking in that definite data which would
place animal psychology among the So
called exact sciences. But ii has occurred
to me that a busy, busting center of popu-
lation, where one may find so much that
is artificial, so much that is out Of har-
mony with the natural order of things
would not be the place to prosecute in an
intelligent and satisfactory way a study
OF this interesting subject. Surroundings a
trif1e more rugged would seem to afford a
better opportunity for the observance Of
mental processes in the lower order of life
although, Of course, much may be learned
by the method which has been adopted by
European scientists. Here in the south
ern part Of the United States these Scien-
lists might find much data that would give
them more definite clew to the reasoning
methods of the lower order. That little
trlck OF the ODOSSuIl, LOT Wnen
he feigns death, shows element of
shrewdness which one rarely finds in or
ders OF intelligence supposedly higher.
Take the raCcoon. Why is ii that he will
leap up on one side Of a tree and then
Jump as far as he can from the other side?
1t is a trick. He is trying to fool the dog
that is after him by making him believe
he is up the tree. The coon has practiced
this game for so long that no well-trained
dog will ever howl up a tree until he has
circled around it several times to see If
the game has not resorted TO the usual
make-believe. Why is it that a coon
when the tree is falling under the effect
of the hunters AK. will scamper dcwn the
trunk of the tree toward the stump He
has two reasons for doing IT, In the first
place unless the dog knows his business
he viii rush out in the direction OF the
falling tree, believing the game will
scamper out from the top. In the second
place he reasons that IL is safer for body
and limb. In either event he is reasoning
about the thing. 1t is a psychological
process Instances have been reported by
hunters OF where 'coons would leap from
the top OF falling trees, seemingly know
ing that they were pursued by trained
dogs. who would hang around the stump
until they could scamper down the trunk
OF the tree. But the rule Is. the other way.
The point / am trying 10 make is that the
woods are filled with these evidences which
might give the scientists clew TO the
reasoning methods Of animals Of the lower
order

PECULIAR THINGS IN PENCIL.
All Sorts and Conditions for Men of
All Occupations.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
Black and colored lead pencils are COM
mon articles to the man on the street, but
there is many another type or pencil Whlcn
is not SO generally known.
made in more than fifty varieties, and as
far as possible the wood Of each Is finished
off to match the lead.
Men following the various professions,
such as architects, engineers. draughtsmen
and the like, have frequent occasion to use
very fine black and colored leads, which
made specially for the purposes re-
quired, and for which there Is a continuous
inside demand.
Then there is quite an army Of pencils
specially made for some particular purpose
or form in checking and marking fine and
delicate goods in offices and warehouses,
and also for use in factories, and others for
textiles, besides which there is the we'll
known carpenters pencil. This latter va
riety is made not only in black, but also in
many colors resembling somewhat those
used by goods porters and clerks employed
at goods stations, save that the shape DIFF
fers The carpenters pencil is usually OF
an oval shape, whereas the large colored
and black lead pencils doled out to railway
mer by their stores are mostly octagonal
in design, though many served out are or
the ordinary shape.
The common idea with respect to pencils
is that they may be used either on paper or
on wood, and there their usefulness ends.
They can do more than that.
There are, for example, those specially
made for marking on glass, writing on
porcelain, polished metals, oilcloth, patent
leather and other materials bodies upon
which no amount of persuasion could make
an ordinary pencil write anything.
The leads for the pencils intended for
these specific articles are prepared express
ly for the purpose required in each particu-
lar case, and they are easily manipu-
lated as the common lead pencil, while
what is written may be rubbed out again
without any trouble If erasure be nee
eSSary.
You will find these odd pencils in use at
china and glass shops, furniture dealers,
and boot and shoe shops and warehouses
and so on. They are made with white or
black leads and also various colored leads,
comprising mostly red, blue, and yellow.
Another peculiar sort of pencil. yet one
which is unknown TO the average man, is
that one made expressly for the use of sur
geons.
For anatomical purposes, and also for
marking out lines and divisions on the
surface Of the body before performing an
operation, the use of lead pencil is some
times necessary, and as the ordinary COM
mercial article would be useless for this
purpose, a special pencil is made. This
marks the skin as clearly as the common
lead marks paper. The surgeons pencil is
made in black and also in colors.
Notwithstanding the extensive supply OF
pencils covering a large area Of usefulness,
manufacturers frequently get demands for
new pencils for some particular special use
beyond the general sphere of ordinary
nti
