Stranger PreSumeS Too Much
on the Fact That He is
the Dealer.
By David A. Curtis

A little man with large ears came
into old man Greenlaw's saloon in
Arkansas City one evening and look
ed about him with an air Of Devil.
derment. Aside from his diminutive
stature and the size Of his ears, which
as was presently noted, wagged a
little when he talked, there was moth
ing about him that seemed to call for
special attention; but after he had
been in the place long enough to be
observed more carefully than he was
at first it was seen that he had an
other characteristic that was, to say
the least, striking. 1t was almost
disconcerting. Plainly he was fell
low who might perhaps have to be
reckoned with as Of some conse-
quence.
His eyes were just plain, ordinary
human eyes of no particular color
and not Of size to attract attention
being neither larger nor smaller than
was to be reasonably expected in a
face that was proportionate to the in
considerable bulk Of his body; but
the gaze he projected from them was
curiously direct. One could not avoid
thinking Of him as level eyed. In
fact, he was exaggerately level eyed.
1t gave him a certain distinction.
Makes Proper Salutation.
He did not appear to be wholly at
ease when he entered, but after a
little hesitation he showed that he
had at least rudimentary knowledge
Of what was to be expected OF one
who entered saloon alone. He step
ped up to the bar and said Lets

There was no possibility Of misun-
Outstanding him, for he spoke very
distinctly, but they noticed, indeed
they could not help noticing, that his
voice was slightly cracked and some,
what wheezy. 1t was not a pleasing
voice, though, on the other hand, It
was not one that provoked any VOL
emit resentment.
Neither were his words objection
able. though the manner of those
present in acceding to his suggestion
indicated liberation rather than any
excess of cordially. They drank with
him with demur and resumed their
seats and their tobacco in silence.
Not altogether did the little man
seem satisfied. 1t was as IL he pre-,
ferred that some one else should open
conversation, but as no one else did,
he spoke again after waiting a little.
II was reck'nin' on comm to Ar
kansas City pertinent" he said rath-
er difidently.
Not Of Great Significance.
Had he presented signs OF ahluence
the remark might have been received
with some enthusiasm, but If he was
totlng n wad, 1t was not one OF SUI
f1cient size to cause a protuberance
in his outline, and they did not seem
impressed. There was delay.
At length old man Greenlaw said
somewhat coldly, There's other
places"
What other places?" demanded
the little man not brusquely, but as
one honestly DESTROYS Of information.
"Oh, slathers on EN-" said the old
man, little disconnected.
Where be they?" asked the little
man. ''' 20
"oh, evsrywheres. All up an

BRITISH "BANTAMS'1
MAKE A NEAT RAID
of a Trench and Take a Gun
from the German Forces In
Fighting in France.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS
France, July S.-"Good for the littl(
fellows" expressed the feeling OF tll
whole army when the "Bantams," u
one OF the neatest of trench raids
took a machine gun from the Ger
mans No commander is prouder Of
his men than the commander OF the
Bantams; no battalions so thorough
ly have the good wishes Of the whole
army. The idea of the Bantama
unique among the armies Of Europe
was Lord Kitcheners. II little men

them chance.

a success, others followed At the
front they wero brigaded together;
and the visitor to certain portion OF
the lines sees sturdy, short-legged
men marching along the roads ana
keeping guard In the trenches
Many Jokes Passed.
Many jokes have been passed about
them. 1t was even suggested that
when they went into the trenches
somebody would have to hold them
up to the pNrapet to fire. But the
Bantams answered that Napoleon and
Lord Roberts were little men; and
the Bantams have made good. Other
battalions take fatherly interest %
them and admire them for their
pluck,
Instead Of havlngto hold them up
to fire, when they frst went into the
trenches, the difficulty was to keep
them from showing their heads too
much. They have the advantage OF
being small targets, and they are
completed sheltered In communities

would be exposed. Most Of then ara

TRIAL SEPARATION

LOS ANGELES, July S.-The mys-

What the Terms Were.
There was no written contract, she

there unless she sent for him before
three months elapsed, and no word

out. Letters could be written, how
ever.
This, she says, was how it worked
out:

The little mans air of bewilder'

became an appearance of hopeless

was propounded. 1t was evident that
he was not in the habit Of Analysing
his beliefs. Having considered it ad-
vlsable to find an abiding place, he
was nevertheless at a loss to explain
the reason for having so thought. He
suffered and stammered little, and
when he found speech eventually his
voice cracked worse than before.
