Calhoun, Lennox County, New Mex
leo, was a town of one hundred and
fifty people. This included the saloon
bummers, of whom there were a score,
and the stock-raisers of the neighbor-
hood numbering dozen. These ranch
men, with one of the store-keepers,
were the only inhabitants with much
pretence to responsibility, the bulk
OF the population being cowboys,
herders, rough-riders, and their
friends.
Calhoun was cattleman's town,

sons saloon dubbed over with COW.
boys They were q mixed lot, repre-
sentative, for the most part, of every
grade of blackguardlsm. Here and
there, However, you might find an
American, and even more frequently
an Englishman of good up-bringing,
rho had drifted into the whirlpool of
cow-punching" as some men drift to
sea before the mast, through inclina-
ton, possibly for a wild, unconven-
tional existence. An Englishman, of
this class, one May morning, swung
himself out of his saddle at Jephson s
to fortlfy nature with whiskey on
his way south. He was the son of a
manufacturer in Lancashire, England
and his brothers were being educated
for the Army and the Church, while
he, John Ogden, the eldest, twenty-one
years old this day, was a wanderer on
the western prairies, earning a living
as "cow-puncher."
John Ogden had done fairly we'll
He was not without self-control and
living in land where all men went
about armed to the teeth, he had kept
his temper so far, and had never been
In serious trouble.
The bar was crowded at Jephson's
today, and it was some minutes before
John could get his drink. When
served, he withdrew to table and sip
ped at his whiskey slowly. He was
very tired, having ridden forty miles
thai day and herded cattle most OF
the preceding night, so that he felt
drowsy and languid. Near him were

two saloon bummers, their feet orna-
menting the top Of an unlighted stove.
The swing-door of the saloon opened,
and a man staggered up to the bar.
One of the bummers pointed back
wards with his thumb.
That's him, Sammy-the new Sher-
IT," The other grinned.
"Jedge Sanderbach's choice. Burt
Lassiter is the biggest tough in town"
"Why-naterally, he's friend of the
ledge"
You bet"
They both laughed, and then re-
lapsed into silence, while John looked
curiously at the man who had aroused
this comment. He was tall, broad and
stout, with long heavy face, thick lips,
and beetle brows. Coarseness and
brutality were written in every line
Of that face, and his eyes small, rest
less, and near together, contained a
sinister expiration that made the Eng
lishman frown involuntarily. The
Sheriff did not notice Ogden. He was
seeking for familiar faces.
The swing-door opened again to adj
nit another man, who stood a moment
looking about him, nervously Kicking
a rawhide against his boots and glanc-
Mexican with the full dark eyes and
graceful figure of Spaniard and the
coarse, immobile features OF an In
dian. His dress was complete suit
Of grey buckskin, gaudily ornamented
with beads, and deeply fringed. His
sombrero, also new, was bound with a
smart cord of yellow and green, and
was tilted ralSishly over his left ear.
His boots were polished, his spurs
silverspIated, of large size, and, being
pendants of steel. jingled like bells as
ne walked. At the sight OF the
"greaser" there was general growl
of disgust among the cowboys, and
had Jose Gallegos been wise man he
would have gone elsewhere to assuage
his thirst and indulge his passion for
gambling. But Jose was not wise, nor
at the moment particularly sober. He
had been left a small legacy, some six
hundred dollars, and portion OF this
was still burning his pocket. Work,
therefore was out Of the question;

The oriental point of view is an In structive one, as is shown by the fol lowing:
 At Allahabad, India, there has just been issued the report of the Hospital for Women, and the Pioneer of that city prints a couple of graceful letters quoted in the report. The first ad- dressed the lady at fhe ad of the in- stitution thus:
 Dear She My wife has returned from your hospital cured. Provided males are allowed at your bungalow, l would like to do the honor of pre- senting myself there this afternoon, but 1 will not try to repay you--ven- geance belongeth unto God. Yours nO- ticeably."
 The second was in a strain of even more punctilious courtesy. It ran:
 Dear and Fair Madam :-I have much pleasure to inform you that my dearly unfortunate wife will be no longer under your kind treatment, she having left this world for the other the night of the 27th ut. For your help in this matter 1 shall ever remain grateful. Yours reverently."
