There was. The words were scarce

inside the door, he said:
Men, c-c-come with me-"
At the sound of his voice the leader
Of the outlaws whirled on his heel
fired-and missed. Runty had never
been shot at before. His sand-found
ed confidence fed in a flash. His
face turned ashen gray as his soul
was suddenly stepped in the agony
Of physical fear. His frame trembled
with the wild desire to turn and
flee. His lips went dry, cold sweat
bathed his body and the horror OF
cowardice cried aloud within him

volver in each hand. The spasm OF
unutterable regret on his face as he
glanced at Runty, prone upon the
floor, changed to one of berserker rage
as he faced the outlaws. No words
were spoken, no quarter was given or
received. When the smoke lifted
there were three dead safe robbers
and one with two bullet holes through
his lungs at one end of the room
and gallant gray-eyed fellow at the
other end with broken arm, bull
let in his shoulder and hole through
his thigh. His sound arm lay over the

This led the captain to ask other
questions. He was told that the
latest Yankee invention was a hook
for towing big vessels into New York
harbor. 1t was explained to him that
big hook was sent out on a powerful
tug to grasp vessels and bring them
into port For this reason the place
where the hook met steamers was
called Sandy Hook.
"Remarkable!" said he.
The captains friend further de.
clared with their hands on their
hearts that late ON Saturday night,
when the Amerika was nearing the
Hook, the captain went on deck and
remained there until nearly five
O'clock in the morning, explaining
that he did not wish to miss the
sight of the Hook coming out to meet
the Amerika.

When the vessel was nearing Sandy
Hook the Englishman was moved to
inquire what sort of place Sandy
Hook was and who lived there.

was told. "Its merely the place

Deterioration of the Mastiff.


Some breeds there are that have
been driven into obscurity by the un-
bridled craving of breeders for par
ticular properties. Most lamentable of
these is the case of the mastiff who,
Is or 20 years ago, was the king of
the heavy brigade. Size and massive
heads became the alpha and omega Of
the breeders. Increase in size resdlt-
ed in numbering, overfed apathetics,

way, and only by an effort could sup
port their catfish carcasses on sprawl
ing legs and splay feet, says r. F,

And in the intensity of desire to pro-
duce massive heads, the hither end of
the wretched animal was forgotten,
and paralyzed or semiparalyzed hind
quarters were the result. Hence, the
downfall of the mastiff and, in meas

instead of appointing committee Of
three, the assemblage went into a
committee of the whole for the pur-
pose of congratulating the newly elect
ed marshal.

him to a ranch 200 miles up the val

Paradise was invited, and most of
it accepted. Jernigan, Windy,
Billy Earle, Pap Johnson and others
tried to prevail on Runty to join them,
but the marshal's conception of his
duty would not permit him to leave
his post.
AS nearly everyone that had the
evening free was expected to attend
the dance, Runty's self-appointed
guardians could see no risk in leav-
ing him uncared for that one night,
and it was so decided.
At ten o'clock that Saturday night,
while all was peacefully quiet in Par
adise, four men, masked and heavily
armed, rode into town from the Tue
son trail. In silence they passed
through the deserted streets to where
the lights from Three-Fingered Pete's
saloon and gambling house shone
across the darkened thoroughfare.
Noiselessly dismounting, they hitch
ed their ponies, readjusted their
masks, and surveyed the room from
their concealment in the outer shad-
ow. Pete's bartender, Dutch Henry,
the sole occupant, was doing in a
chair at the end of the bar With one

the leader gave quick and decisive or
