The interruptdng roar of laughter,
which came from the box seat of the

pecting. for he turned away demurely
and walked toward the coach. "AH right,

gated to the back seat, thought so-al-
though her conversation and attentions
had been chiefly directed to the driver
and mail agent Once, when he had light
heartedly addressed a remark TO her, 1t
had been received with a distinct but
unpromising politeness that had made
him desist from further attempts, yet,
without abatement of his cheerfulness,
or resentment of the evident amusement

Miss Julia had certain prejudices of po-

for the daughter of a major than an
ordinary peddler.
SO Dick Boyle was obliged to amuse
himself alone on the back seat with those
liberal powers of observation which ma
ture had given him. on entering the can

coach had taken TO reach it, and had al
ready invented an improved route witch

that would shorten the distance by some
miles. He had figured it out, and believ-
ed that it would pay" But by this
time they were beginning the somewhat
steep and difficult ascent of the canyon
on the other side. The vehicle had not
crawled many yards before it stopped.
Dick Boyle glanced around. Miss Can
tire was getting down; she had expressed
a wish to walk the rest of the ascent,
and the coach was to wait for her at
the top. Foster had effusively begged
her to take her own time-"there was no
hurry" Boyle glanced little longingly

lost sight of he'll and, as the driver and
mail agent were deep in a discussion
about the indstinct track, Boyle lapsed
into his silent study of the country.
Suddenly he uttered slight exclama-
tion, and quietly slipped from the back
of the toiling coach to the ground. The
action was, however quickly noted by
the driver. who promptly put his foot on

told everywhere that the sharpest sword

there was no truth in such talk, as you
know, but it kept the robbers at dis

One afternoon I saw a strange man
prowling about in the forest not far from
the house. He had an evil face, and
suspected that he was hanging around for
no good. Mr.. Kash-Kash also saw him,

DICK BoYLE'S BUSINESS CARD.
BY Bret Harte.
Part I.


The Sage Wood and Dead Flat stage
coach was waiting before the station
The Pine Barrens pail wagon that con-
nected with it was long overdue with its
transfer passengers, and the station had
relspsed into listless expectation. Even
the humors of Dick Boyle, the Chicago
drummer-and the. so far. solitary pas
senger-which had diverted the. waiting
loungers, began TO fai in effect, though
the cheerfulness of the humorist was
undated. A solitary Indian, wrapped
in a commissary blanket and covered
by a cast-off tall hat. crouched against
the wall of the station looking stolidly
at nothing. On one side stretched miles
of arid waste to the stunted far-spaced
pines in the distance. known as the
"Barrens;" on the other an apparently
limitless level with darker patches of
sage brush, ike the scars of burnt-out
fires.
Dick Boyle approached the motionless
Indian as a possible relief. You don't
seem to care much If school keeps or
not, do you, Lo?"
The Indian, who had been half crouch
ing on his upturned soles. here straight
ened himself with a 1.-THE, animal-like
movement and stood up. Boyle took hold
of a corner of his blanket and examined
it critically.
'Cov'ment amt pampering you with
Al goods. 10! ! reckon the agent charg-
ed 'em four dollars for that. Our firm
could have delivered them to you for
S2.37 and thrown in a box of beads in
the bargain. Suthin' like this!' He took
from his pocket a small box containing
a gaudy bead necklace and held 1t up
before the Indian.

rather. looked beyond him-with the toll
