1T Is unnecessary for me to enter
to any further detail, but you must not
fancy that l was always the arrant
coward you knew. Mypitiable condition
is the result Of a weary growth. Once
never dreamed of turning my back
to the enemy. On the contrary, went
in search of him. But this tiend never
sought the light, and gradually the
strain wore down my nerves. fed

that the society was on my track,
abandoned the intention. discovered
that two Cinnamon had taken passage

been apprised of my intention to come
home, paid his visit accordingly.
And no v one last word. Do not lull

At the first glance things seem hope"

are not. This vengeance upon me and
mine is chiefly personal matter, for
there was much between Kung and me
of which I need not speak. Wooching,
perhaps not unnaturally. considers me
guilty of his fathers death. If he and
kung were removed the vendetta
would end. The other chiefs OF the so.

two to vengeance.

 eff I was to do what q ought to, I'd set you both ashore right here, but I'd vather enjoy the privilege of shootin' at you so I meet you both when we get to Vicksburg. I'm goin' to lie over there for three or four hours an therell be time enough. But in the meantime you're on my boat an I'm in command of her. I order you both to your rooms. and you'll stay there till we reach Vicksburg. An if you make any trouble Ili put you both in irons.'

 ''I didn't see what happened in Vicks- burg. for the old man wouldn't let me leave the boat. He fired Beasley at the first landing an put me In charge of the bar But I know the two gamblers left the boat when we got there an I heard after that the cap'n killed one of 'em an wounded the other.

She likewise told him with Exceeding Great Plainness that she could have the Pick of the Town, so that 1t was hardly likely that she would Ac- cept Bachelor of such Mature Years, so he left the House exclaiming like the Psalmist of Old: Beauty Is vainr'
 He next thought he would try Wealth, so trimming the new Raw Edge from of his Collar, he went to the Mansion of the Wealthy Brewer. who had a Buxom Daughter, who had an Auto Mobile. The Buxom Daughter said Mt" and the Wealthy Brewer showed him the Plate Glass Door. Somewhat Subdued but not Discouraged the Bachelor said, q will try Brains as Clever Women are ever Fools about Men. So he read an Article or two in the Encyclopedia, wrote a few Quotations on his Cuffs so that he could appear learned. and went to call on the College Girl. But the College Girl said, T have my Life's Work and have no Time to Waste on an Old Fool who ia now Seeking to Find a Related Romance" With these Acremonious Words she set tied her spectacles more firmly on her
