Men Trade Horses.
While the women tell fortunes, the
men trade horses. There are few
farmers, it is said, who are able to
meet the wandering traders on an
equal basis. From the time a gypsy
boy SO young that he scarcely has
accurate control of his tiny legs he
has studied horseflesh and he con-
stantly turns his knowledge to ac-
count Nor, it is said, are the gypsies
averse to a 'fbit of a game" with
chance acquaintance. And as in the
matter of horses. the men are past
masters with cards.

they seldom visit.

BOWSER CAMPS OUT
And He Meets Up With Several
Adventures.

Mr.. Bowser had simply read the
heads of the items in his evening pa
per, and laid it on the floor, where
the cat came and rolled upon it, and
f1attered herself that she had at last
become literary feline.
He was uneasy. He walked back
and forth. He looked out of a back
window and shifted and snuffed.
Mrs. Bowser was reading a book,
but she saw it all from the corner
of her eye. and out of pity she
asked:
DO you think the house is on fire
that you sniff and snuff ?"

came back and sat down, 'I almost

take it's place. Some way would be
found to cook the middle part next
day.
There were to be potatoes with the
meal. Any man can peel a potato
even Mr.. Bowser. He peeled what he
thought would be required, and put
them on the fire to boil On the way
up thy had bought q mince pie of a
farmers wife. Mr.. Bowser now
brought it out of the tent and placed
1T on a big chip, and gave it the right
slant to be warmed through. The cof-
fee would be made later on.
There was a creek a few rods away,
and Mr.. Bowser had brought along his
fishing outfit. While he waited for
time to pass he went fishing and he
had the luck to catch a minnow all of
three inches long. He was seeking to
catch another an inch longer, when a
distant shout in the woods told him
that four hungry men were on the
way to camp, to partake of his BAN
quet. Mr.. Bowser and the four ar
rived almost simultaneously, but the
cook was far enough in advance to
step on the mince pie in his haste and
flatten it out into nothing. Then his

flood.
The potatoes had boiled dry!
That ham is melting into grease!
HE is a liar and a fraud"
HE left our dinner to spoil and

Lets throw the old fraud into the
creeki'
A hungry man will accept of no ex-
cuseS or protestationS Mr.. Bowser
urged the want of necessary utensils
to do his cooking, but it was go.
The four half-starved men seized him
and rolled him about that wildwood
dell, while the doe pleaded for her
young, and when they had wrecked
him and tired themselves out they
opened a can of beans and devoured
them and
Resolved-"That, as Mr.. Samuel
Bowser Joined this happy band,
through chicanery and fraud, he be
deposed as cook, and that he be sem
the rest of the happy days of our stay
here, and that he be feed nothing but
dill pickles.
But the sentence was not carried
out, though Mr.. Bowser was neIe to
feel that he had diseraced the camp.
An hour after noon, three of the four
men-the other having been appoint
for game again. When they were we'll
out of sight, Mr.. Bowser took his fire
arms and walked off by himself. He
had come to kill deer, as well as to
prepare banQuetS.
After he had left camp a mile be-
hind, and, while he was sneaking
through the woods, in true -.unters
style, he caught sight of a big buck
deer, with antlers seven feet long. His
heart jumped into his mouth, and
there was a cold chill running up and
down his spine, but he was Bowser-

to let a little thing like that furry

a noisy, chattering crowd of men, all
anxious to sell him something or to
gamble-or at least to transfer some
of the strangers money to their own
pockets.
When they had failed in their eff
forts the newcomer was surrounded
by a dozen women who possessed
mere than passive beauty. With their
neck and shoulders and quantities OF
really valuable ornaments and their
easy graceful carriage, their personal
charms are naturally accentuated.
Their rounded bare arms and threats
were beautiful. Their hands and feet
were very small and heir dark eyes,
under excitement, took on a strange
luSter.
Pretty Girl Works Him.
OF course with a dozen natural CO.
quotes and a dozen pairs of soft eyes,
which regarded him with mock ten
derness, the stranger was easy prey.
In a moment one of the young wom-
en-she apparently was about 16-
led him off to one side.
Put money in my hand she
breathed
The victim complied and when she
had secreted the silver, she said:
Now more money"
Again he complied, but when he
was asked for still more he objected.
'tAh, but I give it back she said.
Il only do this because like you. 1
give you luck"
And with a smile and a pat. the
stranger was disarmed. But the mo-
ment he had handed her another dol
lar, she wished him luck and with a
smile and flourish of her arm,
scampered back into the tents.
When the stranger returned day
or two later there was no trace of
the band. He learned that they had
folded their tents like the Arabs. And
if they didn't as silently steal away,
the band had turned its creaking
wagon train from the setting sun and
followed its slanting rays out of To-
peka-where no one knows.
