Cactus, "as 1t is they're plum locoed about Piggy. They want them whis- kers and that nose of his to split the wind at the head of the column"
 There's somethin' mighty seldom about Piggy" declared Bud, musingly. T never yet see anything on the hoof that he exactly grades up with. He can shore holler 8 plenty, and he straddles a hoss from where you laid the chunk. But he ain't never been smoked yet. You know, Cactus, we ain't had row since he's been with us. Piggy's all right for skearin' the greaser kids and layin waste cross roads store. l reckon he's the finest canned oyster buccaneer and cheese pirate that ever was, but how's his appetite for fightin'? I've knowed some citizens you'd think was starv- in for trouble get bad dose of dys- pepsy the first dose of lead they had to take.'
 "He talks all spraddled out" said Cactus, "'bout the rookuses he's been in. He claims to have saw the ele- phant and hearn the owl"
 T know, replied Bud, using the cow-puncher's expressive phrase of skepticism, "but 1t sounds to mel"
 This conversation was held one night in camp while the other mem bers of the band-eight in number were sprawling around the fire, lin gering over their supper. When Bud and Cactus ceased talking they heard Piggy's formidable voice holding forth to the others as usual while he was engaged in checking, though never satisfying. his ravenous appetite.

devastating aspect A beak-like nose with predatory curve projected above mass of bristling, blue-black whiskers. His eye was cavernous and fierce He was spurred, som breroed, booted, garnished with re- volvers, abundantly drunk and very much unafraid. Few people in the country drained by the Rio Bravo would have cared thus to invade, alone, the camp of Bud King. But this fell bird swooped fearlessly upon them and demanded to be fed.
 Hospitality in the prairie country is not limited. Even if your enemy pass your way you must feed him before you shoot him. You must empty your larder into him before you empty your lead. So, the stranger of un declared intentions was set down to mighty feast.
 A talkatiye bird he was, full of most marvellous loud tales and ex- plolts. and speaking language at times obscure but never colorless. He was new sensation to Bud Kings men, who rarely encountered new types. They hung, delighted, upon his vainglorious boasting, the spicy strangeness of his lingo, his con- temptuous familiarity with life, the world and remote places, and the ex- travagant frankness with which he conveyed his sentiments.
 To their guest the band of outlaws seemed to be nothing more than a congregation of country pumpkins whom he was "stringing for grub" just as he would have told his stories at the back door of farmhouse to wheedle a meal And, indeed, his ignorance was not without excuse, for the "bad man" of the southwest does

Gentle of manner, slouching of gait. soft-voiced, unpicturesquely clothed; not one of them presented to the eye any witness of the des- perate deeds they had earned
 For two days the glittering stranger within the camp was feasted. Then, by common consent, he was invited to become a member of the band He consented, presenting for enrolment the prodigious name of Captain Montressor" This name was immedi- ately overruled by the band, and Piggy" substituted as compliment to the awful and insatiate appetite of its owner.
 Thus did the Texas border receive the most spectacular brigand that ever rode it's chaparral
 For the next three months Bud King conducted business as usual, escaping encounters with law officers and being content with reasonable profits The band ran off some very good com panies of horses from the ranges, and few punches of fine cattle, which they got safely across the Rio Grande and disposed of to fair advantage Often the band would ride into the little villages and Mexican settle ments, terrorizing the inhabitants and plundering for the provisions aud am intuition they needed. It was during these bloodless raids that Piggy's ferocious aspect and frightful voice gained him renown more widespread and glorious than those other gentle voiced and sad-faced desperadoes could have acquired in lifetime

Everywhere was carelessly distributed the parapher- nalia of the place ropes, brides, sad dies, sheep belts, wool sacks, feed troughs and camp litter. The barrel of drinking water stood in the end of the two-horse wagon near the door. The harness was piled, promiscuous, upon the wagon tongue, soaking up the dew

The door stood open, and he entered cautiously The light was sufficient for him to see that no one was at home. He struck match and lighted lamp that stood on table. The room was that of a bachelor ranchman who was content with the necessaries of life. Chicken rummaged intelligently until he found what he had hardly dared hope fora small, brown jug that still contained some thing near quart of his desire
 Half an hour later. Chicken-now a gamecock of hostile aspect-emerge from the house with unsteady steps. He had drawn upon the absent ranch mans equipment to replace his own ragged attire. He wore a suit of coarse brown ducking, the coat being sort of rakish bolero, jaunty to degree. Boots he had donned, and spurs that whirred with every lurch- ing step. Buckled around him was a belt full of cartridges witt a big six shooter in each of its two holsters.
 Prowling about, he found blankets, a saddle and bridle with which he caparisoned his steed. Again mount

clature, first called him The Black Eagle, and used to frighten the babies by threatening them with tales of the dreadful robber who carried off little children in his great beak. Soon the name extended, and Black Eagle, the Terror of the Border, became a rec ognized factor in exaggerated news paper reports and ranch gossip
 z The country from the Nueces to the Rio Grande was wild but fertile stretch, given over to the sheep and cattle ranches. Range law was main fly letter, and the pirates met with little opposition until the Haunting and garish Piggy gave the band un- due advertisement. Then McKinney's ranger company headed for those pre- cincts, and Bud King knew that 1t meant grim and sudden war or else temporary retirement Regarding the risk to be unnecessary, he drew off his band to an almost inaccessible spot on the bank of the Eric. Where fore, as has been said dissatisfac- tion arose among the members, and impeachment proceedings against Bud were premeditated, with Black Eagle in high favor for the succession. Bud King was not unaware of the senti- ment, and he called aside Cactus Taylor, his trusted lieutenant, to dis cuss it.
 If the boys" said Bud, "ain't sat isfied with me, I'm willin' to step out. They're buckin' against my way of handlin' 'em. And specially be- cause concludes to hit the brush while Sam Kinney is ridin' the line. I saves 'em from bein' shot or sent up on state contract, and they up and says I'm no good"

 Though the move was prudent one, and not incompatible with Buds well-known courage, it raised dissen- sion among the members of the band, In fact, while they thus lay inglori- ously perdu in the brush, the question of Bud Kings fitness for the leader ship was argued, with closed doors, as it were, by his followers Never before had Buds skill or efficiency been brought to criticism; but his glory was waning (and such is glory's fate) in the light of newer star. The sentiment of the band was crys- tallizing into the opinion that Black Eagle could lead them with more lus- ter, profit and distinction

pressing for settlement
This confidential information was
carried by secret agents TO a certain
Slav saloonkeeper in the poorer quar-
tiers OF the town. A glass or two of
slivowitz was drunk. there was much
comforting and nodding together of
heads in the back room of the bar, and
finally the saloonkeeper said:
Send Jacob to see Leopold Drey-
fus!"
Jacob was the pranomen of this
go-between. who was believed by his
family and friends to be solicitor
OF fire insurance. And who could
doubt the appearance borne out by
the policies and stacks of papers that
he carried, his familiarity with rates
and his glib line OF talk that indicat-
ed long experience in the business?

elder Dreyfus, remarking on the large
stock of goods and saying. Let me

total loss. In that case the $4,000
you carry now would be too little"
Look here!" said the merchant,
suddenly. II don't believe you are an
insurance man at all. What do You
WANT"
Very well, Mr.. Dreyfus, very we'll.

it is true. but you needn't go into
