csrned with.two college girls who en-.
deavor to play pranks on their sweet
hearts, who are Harvard Seniors and
who come near to getting into serious
trouble with the principal of their
seminary.
The cast was excellent and the
piece was capitally staged, the posi-
tionS and dialogue and all showing
careful aud accomplished study as
well as fine native gifts.
Misses Norfeet Daniel and Kate
Burgin were most charming % the
two conspirators. They spoke their
lines with brightness and verve and
brought out all their points finely.
Misses Addle Cox and Mary Mabry
as the boys scored big hits. They
looked delightfully."- picturesque in
their imitation OF masculine attire and
in speech and action left nothing to be
desired.
Miss Bessie Rush was q decided sue
cess Dc the grave and dignifled college
president.
The little play went on without a
hitch and was enjoyed to the fullest
extent BY the appreciative audience.
After the comedy there was an In
formal reception, the first Of this year,
and the occasion that proved to be
most delightful in every reSpaCt.

undertone: George, go III and get the gun. ="
The gun" was a 1890 repeater, heavy enough
for bear.
The clerk brought it out
"Now, Pete" addressed the merchant more
brislIy, 4 want you to move-and move quic<"
For the first time the desperate looked up, and
it was into the muzzle of the rifle.
4 reckon l won't" he announced Obstinatey.
Il reckon YOU will" announced the merchant
with equal obstnacy 'In give you just one
minute to get out, or I'll blow you out"
4 reckon you won't" persisted Pete apparently
calIous.
George. hold the watch on US babe the raer-
chant
George held the watch The desperate fdgeted,
and seemed inclined to rise. He moved circum-
specify, knowing that the merchant had the drop
on him.
''Wen." he said, Il guess I'll go and sit the
other side of the street by the vacant lot, But
I'll see YOU later" he added meaningly.
"No you won't!" snapped the merchant II
you want to me, you can see me right now
Il reckon I'll sit awhile in front of the black
srith-shop," drawled Pete; and with injured
air he slouched off toward the site proposed, and
there established headquarters, much to the dis
gust of the blacksmith
The merchant recntered the store, and received
the congratulations of his customers.
Meanwhile, at the b1acksmith-shop wildcat
Gete was VOlClS ulIc lIIIedIS, al Vi WHICH OolI-
veyed the same message: that he was going to kill
the merchant on sight. The merchant heard. He
was advised by friends right and left to arm himself
and be prepared to shoot first; but he sturd1y re-
fused He simply sent word:
"Tell that fellow Pete that | don't carry gun,
and that shall continue to go back and forth along
the street just as usual. I'm not afraid OF him
Onlv he tries interfere with my personal rights,
or with my business, he's likely to get in trouble.
He may talk all he wants to- but he must leave me
alone"
However the desperado's buster began to prove
irksome. 1t distressed the merchants wife eX-
ceedingly and kept her constantly wrought up lest
her husband should be murdered. 1t had effect
upon the merchant himself naturally making him
watchful and nervous and enforcing upon him pre-
cautions if not for his sake, then for the sake
of his family He stayed in the back part of the
store and at home careful not to expose

cover from the box. 'Now in this box I've brought
two pistols; one is loaded with ball, and the
other is a blank. See this handkerchief" and
he unfolded a large bandana You choose
which pistol you want; I'll take the other. Then
We'll catch hold of opposite of this handker-
chief and back away, and the minute that the
cloth is tight we'll pop and find out which gun has
the bullet in it,
evil YOU jes please repeat that? l didn't quite
savvy," stammered the desperate uncertainty.
The merchant repeated.
you mean I'm to take one gun and you the other
an go it blind and then shoot each other across
the handkerchief" inquired Pete, dazed.
"ENactly" affirmed the merchant
Pete stared at the pistols. They the old
fashioned, powder-andball variety, single shot and
loading at the muzzle. Whence the merchant had
resurrected them none but himself knew; however
they perfect for the purpose, for their contents
could not be ascertained by the eye
The desperate rose to the occasion.
''All right he said. I'm game, But some
bodys sure goin' to be hurt"
He weighed the pistols carefully in his hand, and
selected one, The merchant took the other,
Somebody sure isl" he replied grimy.
Noting the interview, a crowd had collected.
The merchant extended a corner of the bandana
to the Desperate Here he said, take hold!'
With the fingers of a rather shaky left hand
"Wildcat Pete" grasped the handkerchief. The
merchant cooked his pistol. Wildcat Pete"
cooked his.
"When the handkerchief draws tight, shoot,
remember" warned the merchant.
The crowd fell away from behind each of the
dueists. The merchant and the desperate slowly,
gingerly, backed apart; the handkerchief, held at
arms length, was just ceasing to sag, when Bangr"
went the pistol of Wildcat Pete" An exclama-
ton eaped from the peerng crowd; but the
chant stood up, smiling sarcastically, unframed
Evidently the desperadO's pistol was the blank; he
had fired ahead of time and he had fired in vain.
Seeing the result, with an oath he dropped the
handkerchief and whipped his hand to the six
shooter at his right hip
None of that!" cried stern voice in his ear,
and wisely RETAINING he glanced behind, to find the
marshal, at last emboldened, exactly covering him.
Hands up!'

directly up to where

Behind the merchant

Strengthened up in his

suggestively jerked his
cartridge-belt into a

the merchant.

the merchant. Well
