After clustering and swearing for a

lieve his outburst had any other pur
pose than to establish the purely per
sonal character of the quarrel between

to have been posted and were pointed
out to all corners the day after cleo
ton. Perhaps they were there all the
time, as claimed, but nobody paid
much attention to them. At any rate
we one day awoke to the fact that we
were a full f1edged community, with
regularly constituted court officers,
duly qualified officials, and a sheriff.

ARE YOU MOLLYCODDLE7

Rain fell all day Sunday. 1t was
certainly dreary and so dark that it
was impossible to read with any COM
fort except by artificial light. No
engagements had been made in advance
for the day so we lowered around the
CRATE fire and were thankful that we
weren't compelled to go out.
But along about midafternOOn. 1.-The
day of rest began to grow wearisome.
We chafed under restraint. We painted
for more fresh air than came through
the occasionally opened doors and
windows. By five o'clock confinement
"got on our nerves" Obviously our
legs needed stretching.
SO we dragged out some old clothes,
got into them, and went out to face the
weather. The first feeling of chill and
dread evapOrated before we'd walked
block. Our spirits rose sharply with
our release. We began to feel some
what superior to the "mollycoddles"
who were hugging the warm spots in
doors. When we came back we were
wet but greatly exhilarated. A brisk
rub with course towel and change
to dry clothes removed the last of the
gloom.
What commonplace experience that
is to tell about here. And yet it is
upon just such common occurrences,
more than it is upon magic, that good
physical and mental health depends.
That commonplace experience recalled
the thought on how completely most of
US are possessed by the things we
supposedly own.
Our clothes enslave US when they
ought to contribute to our comfort. 1t
isn't we that shrink from rain, so much
as it is our clothes. Our linen collars
and velvet hats which we work so hard
to purchase and to keep up as badges
of our emancipation from the state OF
being poor folks" are even more the
mark of another form of enslavement.
Biting want and bread hunger are
responsible for disease and death, but
l believe more people die from eating
things they don't need than do from
going without food. And more die
from coddling themselves for the sake
of saving their clothes than do from
exposure from an insufficient amount
Of covering.
Think it over, and if you find your
self being enslaved by the things you
own and the luxuries that soften you
and break down your physical man
hood and womanhood, break the chains
before they become too tightly welded
to be broken.

his shoulder. Through one Of his bar
keepers he caused to be called to his
presence four men. Three of them
were miners, the fourth a lookout at
the Empire. He met them in his little
room quite openly, which, as / have
explained, was in accordance with his
usual custom. He detailed the exact
situation in a few words.
"Now," he ended, eve get busy. Are
you in?"
Each assented, with apparent deep
satisfaction.
"Now," said he briskly, "Munroe,
you go to the lower trail, near the big
oak at the second crossing Wait
there. If the express messengers have
not passed by tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock return here. If they do
come by stop them and tell them to
proceed by the cut off to the place
they know Of and to wait there for
me. Understand"
To each Of the other four men he
assigned different watching On other
trails, giving them the same instruc-
lions.
"Now git!' he finished
After informing Yank of my pro-
jected absence l waited at the ap-
pointed place until the appointed time,

their way slowly across the room to
the bar. | could not see exactly what
happened. but heard the sudden re-
verberatiOnS of several pistol shots.
The lamps and glasses ratified with
the conclusion, the white smoke of the
discharges eddied and rose. An i'm
mediate dead silence fell, except for
the sounds made by the movements of
those seeking safe places. Johnny and
his two friends shoulder to shoulder,
backed slowly away toward the door
Johnny and Old presented each two
pistols at the group around the bar,
while Cal, revolver in his we'll hand,
swept the muZzle slowly from side to
side. Nobody near the bar stirred
The express messengers backed to the
door.
"Keeps your heads inside" warned
Johnny clearly. On the words they
vanished.
Immediately pandemOnium broke
loose. The men along the bar imme-
diately became very warlike. but none
of those who brandished pistols tried
to leave the building From the swing
and sway of the crowd and the babel
Of yells, oaths, threats and eNplana-
tons l could make nothing. Danny
Randall alone of all those in the room
held his position unnDved. At last a
clear way offered, so l went over to
him.
What's happened?" l shouted at
him through the din.
Danny shrugged his shoulders.
They killed Carhart and Malone"
Danny replied CURLY.
Although for the moment held in
check by the resolute front presented
by these three boys, the rough element
showed that it considered it had won
a great victory and was now entitled
to run the town. Members of the
gang selected what goods they needed
at any Of the stores, making no pre-
tense of payment. They staggered
boldly about the streets at all times,
infested the better places. such as the

tered on, excited, his blue eyes dane
ing, Dragging over and over about his
two horse loads Of gold.
The crowd took his whisky, laughed
with him and tried shrewdly to pump
him as to the location of his diggings
McNally gave them no satisfaction
there, but even when most hilarious
retained enough sense to put them off
the track.
AS will be imagined, l was most INT
easy about the whole proceeding and
tried quietly to draw the two men off,
''No, SIR cried NIcNally, mot any!
Jes' struck town and am goin' to have
a timer in which determination he
was cheered by all the bystanders. I
did not know where to turn. Johnny
was away on one Of his trips, and
Danny Randall was not to be found.
Finally inspiration served me.
Come down first and see Yank," l
urged. Poor old Yank is crippled
and can't move"
That melted them at once. They I'M
tied their long suffering animals. and
we staggered off down the trail
On the way down l tried, but in
vain, to arouse them to sense of
danger.

McNally merely laughed recklessly.

no other point Of view. Barry agreed
to everything, very solemn and very
oWlish.
We descended on Yank like a storm.
| will say that McNally at any time
was irresistible and irrepressible, but
especially so in his cups. We laughed
ourselves sick that afternoon. The
Morenas were enchanted. Under in
structions, and amply supplied with
dust. Morena went to town and re-
turned with various bottles. Sonora
Morena cooked fine supper. In the
meantime ], as apparently the only re-
sponsible member of the party, I'M
saddled the animals and brought their
burdens into the cabin. Although Nc
Nallys statement as to the loads con-
sisting exclusively of gold was some
what Of an exaggeration, nevertheless
the cantinas were very heavy. Not
knowing what else to do with them, l
thrust them under Yank's bunk
The evening was lively, | will con-
fess it, and under the influence Of it
my caution became hazy. Finally,
when I at last made my way back to
my own camp, | found myself vastly
surprised to discover Yank hObbling

he came with me, and [ do not think
he knew either. Probably force Of

four to sleep where they would. l re-

tended to accomplish. Among the lot

Randall is taking hold of it 1 enlist"
l returned to report these facts, re-
ceived an Indifferent nod, and, under
further instruction, went quietly to
camp to await the agreed hour.
We started up the trail about
o'clock. Yank insisted that he was
going, if he had to roll all the way,
but after a little we simultaneously
remembered that the Morenas had
owned horses. One of these l caught,
and on it Yank rode to the place of
rendezvous.
The night was very black. After we
had entered the woods it's darkness

eyes like filmy curtain, so that fair

At the Flat Rock we were halted by
a low voiced command | gave the
password, as instructed by Danny
Randall. This experience was once
repeated, little farther ON. Then, as
we neared the upper horse flat, we
were stopped by man who flashed
dark lantern in our faces, scrutinized
us for moment, shut off his light and
told us to go forward.
We found a small fire behind screen
of frs and around or near 1t the fig
ures of a dozen men. They stood ST
lent and scattered a little apart from
the freight. We could not make out
their features. From time to time 9th
err men came in, singly or in couples,
until probably twenty-five were gath
cred. Then ensued few moments of
waiting A sudden stir proclaimed
fresh arrivals, and four newcomers
strobe briskly to the fire. AS the light
fell on them / recognized Randall and
the three express riders.
Danny kicked together the fire until
