. Strong on Spotlight.
What can one do with a scout like
that? Now the earlier scouts were just
the other way around. Take the chap
they called Mail Order" The name
was given him by the soldiers, who
seemed to feel that his wide-brimmed
hat, vivid neckerchief, embossed hol-
sters and other props" had been ac-
quired by the system invented in Chi
cagO. ...
Mail Order had been detailing kill
ing in which he had played the spot
light a good deal. There had been
considerable swift and accurate shoot
ing, it seems, and Mail Order had come
out of the blue smoke with two hot
reyOlvers and three dead men on his
conscience. .. Et#.
I'm course, had to shoot, said Mail
Order "'Cause these here hOmbreS
were tiXin' to wipe me out But | don't
care none fer KILN men. Every time
kill a man it gives me the shiyers" "
Nearly all those early scouts seemed
to be personally acquainted with Pan"
cho Villa and referred to him almost
exclusively by first name. One of
these sighed heartily upon hearing an
official report of the expeditions en-
gagement with a band of outlaws.
THAT aint really no fun he yawn-
ed "When | was with Pancho some
of them greasers tried to run off my
cattle over to Sonora. I gets up and,
while my breakfast coffee is a-cOollin'
| goes out and kills fourteen of 'em."
Dressed in Trophies. .
Another claimed to be dressed en-
tirely in trophies and relics. He was
foreYer glancing at an enormous sill
ver watch.
"See that watch2" he would then
ask. "Took that often Suierro the
Sutcher after | killed him.
Then he would call attention to his
boots, claiming that they were the me-
mentOes Of another bloody encounter.
His pistol was highly priced, inasmuch
as he declared it was gift from Pan
chO villa on the occasion Of the scouts
assassination Of eight personal enc
mics of villa. u . .. .
Thus ran the stories Of the scouts
who have departed. Their tales are
sadly missed in camp. Reviewing
some Of them the writer questioned
Jack Boyd closely. .... ....

Faded Enthusiasts.

The e%nthusiasms of the day and
hour l suppose to be merely tempera-
mental. They are signs of an active
mind, and we should be grateful for
them rather than otherwise, whether
swiftly outgrown or moi. For they are
but surface eddies OF the current, and
have but the slightest relation to the
depth below. Even il some of them
endure to the point Of permanence,
they are more likely than not to hold
their proper place. and do no harm,
The effe~rvescGnce OF youth is an ea.
cellent thing. and the more of 1t we
keep In middle age or later life the
better. Contrariwise, II, one BY one

matter. We eau sit in serene contem'
plation Of their fragments. Through
plot and counterplot," through all
time and change, the nightingale in
the study" will sing on.-From the
