There were five of US and a boy in
ed over the rough roads in Dakota. We
had been together for four days. We
called the boy Jim, because his father
did. We knew his father to be Col.
Weston, banker. cattleman and mine
owner He wasn't a mantle colonel
whom a stranger would take to at
first glance, and even after four days
of his company none of us could say
we liked him. Most self-made men OF
the West are democratic and approach
able. The colonel was naughty and re-
served and evidently felt himself made
of superior clay. When you came to
study him closely you saw that he was
reveneeful and relentless. The boy
was frank, clipper and good-natured.
and you took a liking to him as soon
as you looked into his big blue eyes
His age was about ten, and he had wit
and knowledge beyond his years. He
had yet twenty miles TO go to reach
the terminus, and the hour was about
o'clock in the afternoon. when the
coach came to a sudden halt as II toiled
I'm hill. Next moment the driver called
TO us:
"Au you folks what don't want your
heads blown off had better git down and
line up. We've bin stopped by road
agentr'
We had arms in plenty, but no one
moved to resist. Every bullet fired by
the robber would have bored it's way
through the coach and found a target,
while he had the cover Of the horses and
was safe from our fire. 1t seems coward
ly when you read it. but to get down
and. submit to be robbed was the wisest
thing to do under the circumstances.
Little Jim was not a bit frightened On
the contrary, he rather enjayed the sit
uation. 1t was not SO with the colonel.
/ saw him turn pale and heard him
cursing under his breath. and he was
the last man to get down. The robber
had a doub!e-barreled shotgun in his
hands He cautioned the driver to hold
the coach where-it was, and then ad-
vanced upon us. He glanced carelessly
into each face until his eyes rested on
the colonel. Then he gave a sudden
start, drew in his breath with a gasp,
and We realized that there was recogni-
ton. The colonel grew white under his
look and began to tremble. The boy
had lined up beside his father. As the
road agent looked down into his face
the lad cried out:
why, it's Mr.. Pelton-Mr. Pelton. Say,
Mr.. Pelton, I'm awfully glad to see you
Where've you been this long time?"
SO it's you, Jimmy" laughed the rob-
Der as he held out his hand for shake.
WELL you have been growing since !

But Mrs. Bowser maintained her
health. When he laid down two pairs.
she laid down threes, and his chin WA

There's trickery here somewhere, but
! shall soon get on to 1t. No human be-

Give me the DEAL
Wonderful luck attended Mrs. Bowser's
hands On the third deal she got a
straight, while Mr. Bowser got threes.
When she announced that she'd stand
pat again, he looked at her for a minute
and made up his mind that she had
heard of bluffs" somewhere and was
trying II on him. He didn't better his
hand. but he thought threes good
enough to see her bet of s. and raise her
so. She came back at him. and there
was supposed to be so in the pot when
he got scared and called
Woman. you-you stole that hand"'
he shouted as soon as he could find his
breath.
But how could r. she protested
You stole 'em all and have swindled
your own husband! Think of it! sit
down here to give you a few pointers,
and you deliberately go at II to defraud
me. BY thunder. won't stand it,
Mr.. BOwser. you know 1t was fair.
You had two deals to my one. You

Woman. you can sit with your con-

10. Wen Mrs. Bowser met him in the
hall and announced that the new cook
was Incompetent and the dinner was
spoiled he kindly replied:
Well, We won't worry about that
guess you can scrape enough together
to make some sort of a meal"
There was plenty of occasion to find
fault. but he ate what was set before
him and continued to smile. When Mrs.
Bowser told him that he must order a
ton of range coal in the morning he did
not charge her with selling half the last
ton to buy caramels, and when he saw
the gas bill for the last month he actually
complimented her on keeping down the
family expenses. As they reached the
sitting room he found a hairpin on the
floor. but he had nothing TO say about
reckless extravaganza and the poorhouse,
and when she told him that the clock had
stopped for want Of cleaning he beamed
on her instead of asking whether she
had punched II with a crowbar or bat
tered II with an ak. Mrs. Bowser looked
upon these signs as ominous but she
couldn't tell whether he was going to
spring new fad on her or suggest a
spelling bee. In hopes TO avert a calam-
ity she suggested a call on a neighbor. but
he looked at her in a loving way and
said:
Not this evening, dear. I wish to re-
main at home and take solid comfort.
All the way home l was saying to my
self that l had the incest wife and the
pleasantest home in the world"
That was good Of you" she replied.
delighted at the compliment and forget
ting her fears for a moment.
Yes. the incest wife ana the pleasant
est home, and / want you to understand
that both are thoroughly appreciated. II
