THE BEAR CAT"

''WhOOpw

You're a daisy"
Line Up-the best in the house
for everybody"
Thus Dan WOlsey, and thus, in re
spouse, a motley ravenous crowd of
miners, spectators, gamblers and
hangers-On in the Horn Of Plenty"
at OreviIIe. Dan was a new bird to
be plUcked readily. He fanCied he
was a king amid the shallow, hypo-
critical worship of his present fol-
lowing.
Nothing, indeed, too good for the
sCapegrace group, and Dan was
spending his money like water. And
who had a better right! Had he not
stuck the biggest gusher of the year
at WellsYille! And this was the first
genuine blowout" of his artless, IN
sophisticated life. He had sold his
birthright for a mess of pOttage--
$2O,OOO-aH in crisp new $1OO bank
notes WellsviIle was only a station.
OTeviIle had some real style, quite a
metropolis to Dan, who had spent
most of his life on a farm. When he
came to Oreville Dan had purchased
the most expensive and Ioudest suit
that money could buy. Then he had
taken the best room at the one Sec
Ond-rate hotel in the town. Then he
was sober enough to exert some pru-
dence. This was how: He took
$1,000 out Of his belt and slowed the
residue under the carpet in a cor
ner of the room.
For I may get overseas and some
r-easer grab the pile" reflected Dan.
7ight he came home, but not
uni -, lad spent his last cent Next
morning he extracted another in
Btallment from his reserve fund and
repeated the program

The gambling sharks had got hol6
of Dan. They jollied him as hai
fellow well met, slapped him on the
shoulder, called him The Daisy" and
acqUiesced in his tUmUtUOus declar-
alton that he was the Bear Cat of
WeIlsvilIe." Then they proceeded to
extract the clans and the dollars of
the Bear Cat.
One morning after an unusually
festive night Dan woke up shattered

 PLAN FUR SUMMER

MESA, May 19.-With the closing of the Mesa schools, the various members of the faculty are arranging for their vacation or for removal to other points. Among the latter are Prof. w. M. Yeingst, principal of the high school and his most estimable family. MT. Yeingst, prompted by a desire to give sick son chance to live, gave up a lucrative position as school superin- tendent in Pennsylvania town and accepted the position as principal here. The sacrifice was unavailing, for the devoted family mourn the loss of their boy but they will carry with them the memory of many close friends made during their stay in Arizopa. They will go to Boiling Springs, Pa. Of those who are off for their vacation Miss Harriet Rymer will leave Monday for her home in Lincoln, Neb. Miss Estelle Maloy left yesterday for a visit at her home town of Las Animas, Colo, and Miss Lelan Brack will summer in Califor- nia
