pensive sorrow took up its abiding place upon
the Coonels gaunt face; but in his startled eyes,
dimmed with settled melancholy, yet fingered,
like unlimited guest who gazes tmidly from
some dark corner upon scene of revelry, the
last Pickering CLEAN of hope detected
led reluctantly downward from his shaggy eyebrows,
until it seemed to become divided against itself
and ANONYMOUSLY to fall into his flowing mustaches
that dropped and dropped though disheartened.

For brief but intense moment the Colonel
paused irresolutey in front of the door, then
fully buttoning the second button of his Prince
Albert readusting his gold-rmmed glasses and
throwing back his broad shoulders he boldly
entered the office, and sinking into chair beside
the stove succumbed to the influences of the
warmth and the loss of sleep
In the course of time the odOr of frying bacon
and steaming coffee, coming from regions behind
the bar, reached his nostrils, and he awoke to the
painful realization of a hunger untempered by
financial stress.
Moses he soliloquized, glancing through
the open door where the guests of the Mountain

Colonel Diggins in Mesa City a stranger in
strange land. Multiply this fact by the depleted
condition of his purse and one arrives at approx
mately correct estimate of the COlOnelS feelings
this occasion. They not calculated to inspire
unbounded confidence in the future. Life held
forth possibilities worth banking on, and the
immediate present replete with epicurean
yearnings which seemed destined to go unappeased.
1t was through this mental fog that the Colonel
at last became conscious of gazing into the small
black eyes of dark-complected, well-groomed,
jaunty, little man and heard voice say: My vair
dear fren am in need, in re gra-ate need of an

The duty of pilotin of nah tastes and habits,
not to say appearances, over the ragged rocks of

sedatey to the tricolored post 'if All repeat, All

stitious and suspicious, and the thought of nah
runnin amuck, like a wild-eyed COW huntin' for
her calf, with garden angel to check nah mad
career is shore blood-curdin'."
He paused to wipe his forehead with stately
grace, then replacing his hat upon his head, he
addressed the pole from a different angle. "All

the biography of Colonel David Diggns, suh
he said have conspired to transpire Friday.

For a moment the Colonel paused, gazing at the
pole with attentive interest, then bowling cour-

At this point the warden wanted to drop the matter as he could not see his way clear to make any Improvements on the street when such exOrbtant prices were asked. The residents of the street that were present put up howl and wanted him to go ahead and not let anyone stand in the way.
