Z FRANK JAMES
Written for The Times. }


The average youth who reads in di me
novels or "wild west" weeklies stories
of the desperate men who at on time
or another have held the public atten-
ton for a brief period by their acts of
daring or, in most cases. foolhardiness,
usually draws mental picture of the
man about whom he is reading as q
desperate looking fellow, with heavy
dropping moustasche and a lumpy brow,
.lways looking for trouble and ready at
moments notice to draw gun and
bump off, fellow human being.
ich may be faithful picture of many
the ''bad men" who have been in the
Dotlight Of criminality for a day, but

e most desperate characters in his way

Some years ago the writer of this lit
70 story was visitor in small city in
Central Western State. Standing one
fternoon in front of the hotel at which
e was guest, a young man of pleas
mt address approached him and point
ing to. another man. apparently 65 years
old, standing few feet away, asked if
he had ever seen, the man before or
knew who he was. Receiving a mega
tive reply, the young man vouchsafed
the information that the man was none
other than Frank James, who had come
to town from his Missouri home tn as
sist the local lodge of Elks in running a
country store" at the county fair.
Frank James personality Immediately
became q matter of much interest for
the time being, it may be guessed, to
at least one man. There was nothing
unusual in his appearance. He was
of rather delicate physique, about six
feet tail, weighed perhaps less than
160 pounds, and had soft blue eyes that
harmonized very well indeed with his
mild manners and pleasant voice. Pres
emily James and the man with whom
he was talking were joined by q third
man, who chatted with the two for a
few minutes and then passed on.
James then asked his companion if he
had caught the mans name. ''I want
to impress upon you," he said. that
his surname is Henry and hope you
won't forget it, for man Of his per-
sonal courage is worth becoming ac-
quainted with and worth remembering.
He is the bravest man ever saw.

his right hand was gone? Well, was
