purely accidental and rendered verdict to
that effect.

THE PLUME HUNTERS DINNER PARTY.
The one eyed man, Billy Mutt, and his
friend and partner, whose name was ap-
parently Hank, without further attach
ment, made a livelihood by transgressing
the laws of the United States and supply
ing a strong demand. Ladies OF society
wished for egret plumes and other feathers
for external adornment, and the Seminole
of the Everglades desired corn whisky for
his stomach's sake, and white game regu-
lations forbade collection of the first, In
dams protection acts vetoed lawful dis
tribution of the second. And for the trans
eressor there were distinct and heavy PEN
alties
But, to begin with, States law does not
carry very far in the Everglades of Flor
ida, which is the home of outlaws, and in
the second place Mr.. Mutt and friend were
both wanted on several counts already,
among which unjustifiable homicide
ranked high, so that they were men en-
tirelv reckless and inclined to look upon
poaching and Illicit whisky peddling to
the aboriginal as the mildest of mild pee
cadilloes. Moreover, as in furtherance of
their business they were extremely well
armed and apt to shoot first and reflect
afterward when annoyed, they were not
persons to be argued with by any Of the
more gentle methods.

With awe the listeners held their breath

Hank obeyed, wondering, and laid the

he was assisted by Mutt and the blacks.
Then Captain Kettle spoke again.
