when Sam Eberhart was sheriff OF Gray

I preserving peace and good order in that
locality. His vigilance and activity in
running down evil doors had made his
name almost d household word through
out the entire State. and caused the law

.'Eberhart had been on the lookout for
a certain character for some time. and
one day learned he was not many miles
from Sherman. the county seat, and also
the place he was stopping over night He
Immediately set about 20 organize a posse
20 bake the capture. Several men had
volunteered when he CHANGED TO meet an
old acquaintance that we will call Bill
Stamper, because that was not his name,
and asked him 10 join the party Bin told
Eberhart he would be glad 10 go. but his
cousin from Missouri was down visiting
him for a few days; he was showing him
around and was afraid he could not go
on that account. Bring him along, said
Eberhart. 1t viii give MIN a touch Of

away and debated on the best course TO
take. During the parley Bits cousin

get through with the job and go home
and go 20 bed. Finally, he said to Eber-
hart he did not think il worth while to
waste 50 much time. and volunteered 10
go in and get the man and bring him out
You're a fool said Eberhart; this is a

Some wanted to set fire to the cabin,
and some wanted 10 charge on 1t and

Finally, he told Eberhart TO wait where
he was, and he would get the man. and
started for the cabin door. \ kick opened
the door. and with a catlike movement
he sprang into the room and covered the
bad man with his gun before he was
fully awake. A few minutes later he
turned him over 20 Eberhart, clad only in
one garment that reached nearly to his
knees. On the way back to town Eber-
hart remarked TO Bill Stamper that his
cousin was q trfle foolhardy. adding, but
he is a likely fellow. and If he viii move

In few days Bills cousin went back
North, and in course Of time Sheriff Eber-
hart learned the man ne wanted to make
