get his arm into practice. Before the
dentist pronounced him proficient,
though, his mother had Callahan re-
duced to terms, and the assistant su-
perintecdent put Bullhead among the
operators.
That was q great day for Bullhead.
He had to take the worst of 1t, Of
course, sweeping the office and thft,
but, whatever his faults, the boy did
as he was told. Only one vicious habit
clung to him-he had a passion for
reading the rules. In spite of this,
however, he steadily mastered the TAX
ing, and as for sending, he could do
that before he got out of the cuspidor
department. Everybody around the
Wickiup bullied him, and maybe that
was his salvation. He got used to
expecting the worst Of i and nerved
himself to take it, which in rnilroading
is half the battle.
A few months after he became COM
petent to handle a key the nightman ut

headed for Sackley. While 1t was all
going on Bullhead lay on the wind
swept platform at Goose River with
hole in his head that would have killed
anybody on the West End or, for that
matter, on earth except James Giles
pie Blaine Lyons.
After No. 80 had passed so impudent-
ly No. / felt her way rather cautiously
to Goose River, because the dispatchers
couldn't get the blamed station. They
decided, Of course, that Bullhead was
asleep and fixed everything at the
Wickiup to send a new man up there
on No 3 in the morning and fire him
for good.
But about o'clock No. rolled. bad

strobe angrily to the station. 1t was
dark as a pocket inside. Bat smashed
In door with his heel, and the train
men swarmed In and began looking
with their lanterns for the nightman.
The stove was red hot, but he was not
asleep In the armchair nor mapping I'M
der the counter on the supplies They
turned to his table and discovered the
broken window and thought of hold
up They saw where the nightman had
spilled something that looked like ink
over the table over the order book
over the clip, and there was n hand
print that looked inky on an open letter
addressed to the superintendent and
little pool of something like Ink under
the key.
Somebody said suicide, but Bat Null

after 1t and cried out Setting his Ian
tern down OH the platform, he crawled
through the broken sash and picked up
Bulhead.
Next morning it was all over the
West End.
That's what gets me. Who'd have
thought it of Bullheadf"
When they all got up there and saw
what Bullhead had done everybody
agreed that nobody but Bullhead could
have done 1t.
The pilot bar of the short line mo-
gul in swiping Bullhead numerically
had really made a railroad man of
him. 1t had let a great light in on
the situation Whereas before every
one else ON the line had been to blame
for his failures, Bullhead now saw that
he himself had been to blame and was
man enough to stand up and say so.
When the big fellows, Callahan and
Kenyon and Pat Francis, saw his trail
next morning, saw the blood smeared
over the table and saw Bullhead's let
ter of resignation signed In his own
blood manual, and heard his straight
out story days afterward. they said
never word.
But that morning, the morning after,
Callahan picked up the letter and put
it Just as it was between the leaves of
the order book and locked both in his
grip. 1t was some weeks before he
had d talk with Bullhead and he spoke
then only few words, because the
nightman tainted before he got
through. Callahan made him under
stand, though, that as soon us he was
able he could have any key on that dl-
vision he wanted as long as he was
running 1t, and Callahan IS running
that division yet.
1t all came easy after he got well.
Instead of getting the worst of it from
everybody Bullhead began to get the
best of IT, even from pretty Nellie Cas-
sidy. But Nellie had missed her open
ing. She tried tenderness while the boy
was being nursed at the Junction. Bull
head looked grim and far off through
his bulging bandages and asked his
mother to put the sugar In his coffee
for him; Bullhead was getting sense.
Besides, what need has a young man
with a heavy crescent shaped scar on
his forehead that people Inquire about
and who within year after the Goose
River affair was made a train dispatch
er under Barnes Tracy at Medicine
Bend-what need has he of coquette's
smilesl His mother, who has honor
ably retired from hard work, says half
the girls at the Bend are after him. and
his mother ought to know, for she keeps
house for him.
Bullhead's letter of resignation with
the print of his hand on it hangs franz
ed over Callahans desk and is shown
to railroad big fellows who are accord
ed the courtesles of the Wckiup. But
when they ask Bullhead about it he
Just laughs and says some railroad men
have to have sense pounded into them.

Goose River Junction went wrong.
When Callahan told Bullhead he
thought about giving him the job, the
boy went wild with excitement and In
a burst of confidence showed Callahan
his star. 1t was the best thing that
ever happened, for the assistant head of
the division had an impulsive way Of
swearing the nonsense out of n boys
head, and when Bullhead confessed TO
being a detective fiery stream was
poured on him. The foolishness couldn't
quite all be driven out In one round.
but jamie Lyons went to Goose River
of fool he was.
Goose River Junction is not lively
place. 1t has been claimed that even
the buzzards at Goose River Junction
play solitaire. But apart from the utter
loneliness it was hard to hold operators
there on account Of Nellie Cassidy. A
man rarely stayed at Goose River past
the second pay check. When he got
money enough to resign he resigned,
and all because Nellie Cassidy despised
operators.
The lunch counter that Matt Cassidy,
Nellie's father, ran at the Junction was
Just an adjunct for feeding train crews
and the few miners who wandered
down from the Glencoe spur. Matt
himself took the night turn. but days 1t
was Nellie who heated the Goose River
coffee and dispensed the pie-contrnct
pie made at Medicine Bend and sent
by local freight classified as ammuni-
ton, loaded and released, o. r.
1t was Nelie's cruelty that made the
frequent shifts at Goose River. Not
that she was unimpressible or had no
heroes. She had plenty of them In the
engine and the train service. 1t was the
smart uniformed young conductors and
the kerchiefed Juvenile engineers on
the fast runs to whom Nellie paid def
erence and for whom she served the
preferred doughnuts.
But this was nothing to Bullhead.
He had his head so full of things
when he took his new position that
he failed to observe Nellie's contempt.
He was Just passing out of the pri-
vate detective stage, just getting over
dental beginnings, just rising to the
responsibility of the key, and a month
devoted to his immediate work and the
study of the rules passed like linn
tied train. Previous to the coming of
Bullhead no Goose River man had
tried study of the rules as a remedy
for loneliness. 1t proved a great
scheme, but it aroused the unmeasured
contempt of Nellie Cassidy. She scorn-
ed Bullhead unspeakably, and her only
uneasiness was that he seemed uncon-
scious of 1t.
However, the little Goose River girl
had no idea of letting him escape that
way. When scorn became clearly use'
less she tried cajolery-she smiled on
Bullhead. Not till then did he give up;
her smile was his undoing. 1t was so

CAPTAIN JACK CRAWFORD
Is Now Entertaining and Being En-
tertained Back in the Key
stone State

Captain Jack Crawford is now
entertaining and being enter
tanned back in the state of Penn
sylvania. In fact, the famous
poet scout is filling many dates
made for the late Sam Jones be-
fore his sudden death two months
ago. 1t is doubtful whether there
is another man living who could
come nearer filling the bill, as
Captain Jack and Sam Jones were
much alike in many ways.
The following from the Warren
Times tells of Captain Jacks re-
ception in Warren:
The Y. NJ. c. A. was the scene
of very pleasant gathering when
sixty boys of the city met and
dined with Captain Jack Craw-
ford, through the generosity of
II. V. Hazeltine, Charles Jamie
son, E. f. Allen and Wesley
Wales, Jr. The banquet was a
fine one, and after it Captain Jack
talked to the boys. Later the
lads enjoyed the lecture at the
theater."

NEW MEXICO, MINING MARVEL
Territory Coming to the Front, Says
the FL Paso Herald.

The FL Paso Herald hits the
nail on the head in the following
recent editorials:
New Mexico, so long over
looked by the crowd in the rush
for profitable mining fields, is
coming to the front. Some big
interests are taking hold in the
territory, and the next five years
will witness, not revival of the
old boom days, but something far
better than that, the erection of
the mining industry in New Mex
leo on firm basis of proved prop
critics, unlimited capital, and in
telligent direction.
Like the pot of gold at the
rainbow'S end, the richest mineral
seems to the speculative and in
experienced eye always to lie over
the next ridge, or in the next
county, or beyond the interna-
tional boundary. The truth is. as
careful investigators are finding
out, that in New Mexico there are
as good mining propositions as
any that are obtainable at fair
price in Mexico, and prices in New
Mexico in general range far below
prices for properties of like eX-
cellence in better developed terri
tories, simply becauseof the timid-
ity of capital.
With unprecedented activity
in mining everywhere, and in all
metal markets, this is New Mex
ico's chance. Her silver, copper,
lead, and zinc should be opened
up on big, broad scale, and her
mineral resources turned into the
worlds industry and converted
into wealth. BY applying mod
ern scientific methods and broad
gauged principlesof management,
districts in New Mexico that have
been practically unknown or al
most despised will take their place
among the richest producers in
the west"

FOUND DEAD ON THE DESERT
The Man Became Lost and Wandered
Aimlessiy Until He Perished

The body of man was discov-
cred yesterday afternoon by some
hunters about three miles west of
Isleta, twelve miles below this
city, in a little gulch in the sand
hills near the Isleta volcano. At
last accounts no one had been
able to identify the remains. I'm
dertaker Borders of this city left
last night on No. l to bring the
body to Albuquerque for embalm-
ing. He will return with the re-
mains this morning.
The condition of the body and
other evidence tended to show
that the unknown man had be-
come lost in the desert and wan
dered aimlessly around until he
persisted. There was nothing on
the body to indicate foul play.
His coat could not be found. His
vest, hat, one shoe, one sock and
suspenders were found scattered
around about 200 feet from the
body. In his vest was watch
and chain, a pocket comb and a
tooth brush. There were no pa
pers or marks by which to iden-
tify the dead man. He had evil
IDENTIFY been fairly we'll dressed,
had red hair and beard of about
weeks growth, was apparently
80 or IS years of age, weight APP
proximately 140 pounds. The
watch was an Elgin watch. The
theory that the man was lost is
borne out by the fact that his
barefoot tracks were discernible
for some distance wandering back
and forth in the sandhils in every
direction.
A message was at once sent
here last night asking that the
coroner come and receive the re-
mains. Some further light on the
identity of the man may be shed
after Mr.. Borders has made an

NEWCOMB, COLLINS & co.
Have Bought the w. H. Byerts Stock
of General Merchandise

w. II. Byerts. for many years
one of Socorro's successful mer-
chants, has sold his entire stock
of general merchandise and has
retired from that line of business.
The business will be continued at
the old stand, however. by firm
to be known as Newcomb, Collins
* Company, who took possession
on Monday. The old stock of
goods will be disposed of as quick
ly as possible and replaced by a
new and much more extensive and
complete stock. Great improve
ments may be looked for in the
establishment within the next six
months. The members of the new
firm are we'll known, their loca-
tion is one of the best in the city,
and with the exercise of even
ordinary business sagacity there
is no reason why they should not
succeed
