THE BUCKSKIN

BY II. l.. RAYMOND
(Copyrlght.)
Dear pardner.

Dear pardner.
This is my furst Letter. | Gno all
about how you saved muther on the
desert from the iuiuns, so she named
me after YOU in gratitude. each time
CHsmus comes she says you send me
something and call me little pardncr.
so guess we are. want to play in
Jun but aint got no buckskin shirt like
bulo bill wore. if you see Sanity Klaus
loaAn around out there tell him.
muther says he lives somewhere near
YOU goodbye Willie Smith Parks,
''ps. amt this a long letter"
The big, gaunt man read it with
chucklngs and interpretations of God
bless his little heart" or "Ain't he a
brick, durn him; amt he brick"
He relightcd his pipe, carefully
folded and rcigiously replaced the let.
ter in his safety vault bakingpow,
der can on a shelf In this can, too,
was his store of gold dust his only re,
ward for months of isolation and toll,
He was lank and huge. His skin
was wrinklcd by desert suns and win
Ser winds, His habiatiou was a mere
shack of a cabin, perchcd on the edge
of a bluff away off up in the tops OF
the Sicrras.
For seven years now the gaunt one
had never failed in a Christmas re-
membrancc, the only one he gave, and
to a strangers child. For seven years
luck with him or against him, he had
sent this Christmas offering. But this
was the hardest year Of all
On the night of its completion as he
held It to the light it proved won
derful creation. True, the sewing was
a trine irregular in stitch, and there
were places that looked rather crude
but it was "a mighty strong shirt
and them stitches was all put in thar
to stay. You bet it was a strong
shirt"
There came the night of the start
ing. Fresh thongs to the shoes, the
homely lunch. and the packing OF the
precious bundle that was to bring
gladncss ~ those two easterners. The
buckskin shirt and the meager supply
of gold dust were rolled into tight
little wad and carefully hound around
with strips of flour sack
But neither through the hours Of
night nor in the early dawn, when he
mounted by preference the vacant seat
by the stage-driyer, did "Whistling
Sandy" vouchsafe an explanation OF
the why's and wherelores of his bur
den.
Away off down the divide, through
ever-decreasing snow and over wind
swept, rock.strewn spots, the stage
clumsily ratified. Its inside passengers
consisting of a travelling man for al
eastern mining-machine house and &
large, fat woman, who had been a cool
at en- upland mining camp, bumped
hither and yon as the vehicle fount
! declivitles.
Every now aud then the driver, as
he threw his lash out over the lead
ers. complained, in the whispering
voice Of the west, about the responsi
bilities that had been thrust upon hin
in this trip.
Great heavens, He had nevel
thought of this before. Suppose they
should be held up on this trip? HI
wouldn't mind the loss of his poke o.
any other valuable possession Of hi'
own, but the shirt! Why. if the high
! waymen got that, his little pardner'
way back east would wait dissDpoint

The Mustache.

There is more than hIlmor In tho
rise and fall of the mustachc, although
the country was amused several years
ago by a humorous lecturer, who dis
cOurscd on the subject It is contrary
to the British army regulations for IN
officer TO shave his. upper lip. From
time to time the war department has
issued general orders expressing i!s
disapprOval Of the growing disregard
of the regulations, and now II Is re-
ported in London that King Edward Is
contemplating some action which will
compel the officers to return to the old
custom. The mustache has long been
regarded as q military badge. Only
one regiment In the AustroHungarian
cavalry may 80 smooth-facod and this
is because during the Seven Years
war recruits were so scarce that this
regiment once had to go into battle
when there were nothing but beard
less boys in its ranks. 1t behaved with
such galantry that its members re-
main beardless to this day The de-
cline Of the mustache in military Eng
land is said to he due to the prefer.
ence of American girls for smooth
faces and the liking of English army
officers for American girls, comhina-
tion which produces new fashions and
outlaws old customs.
