some s.troule about the second
day after we reached the city he
owned a good horse which he
had rode from Texas worth SIS
and was intending to ride him
back to Texas. He kept his horse
in q livery stable, not far from
our boarding house, and as is
natural, he would 60 home every
day to See how his horse was far
ing. There was a saloon near the
stable and, as he had been accus.
toned to loafing around the sa.
looms at Fort Worth and thought
he knew something of the ways
of the world, he went into the sa
loon and soon formed an acquain'
tance of the incest gentleman
who seemed to take great inter
est in him. The day in question
| was returning to my boarding
house about noon. l met up with
York, who was very much intox
icated, and the first word he
spoke was: "Perk, I've lost my
horse" Lost your horse!' said
I. when or how? Did he die?:"
Then he told me that the nice
gentleman" that he had met the
day before met him at the same
place again and was very glad to
see him and soon they were en-.
joying a social chat, when anoth.
er man came up to them and was
introduced to Mr.. York, from
Texas. Soon this last man show.
ed them a peculiar looking puzzle
box for them to look at, and ask.
ed them to examine and see if
they could open it,. York was in.
terested and soon learned to
open it. Then, about that time
a third man came up and they
showed him the box and asked
him to open it. He took the box
and tried but could not open it.
Then he became furious and said
nobody could open such a thing
as that. They were not talking
to York but he became very
much interested and said he
could open it for he had done so
a short time before. The man
told him he would bet him fifty
dollars he couldn't do it. York
took the bet and pnt his hand in
his pocket to get out the money,
but remembered he had left his
money in the boarding house. So
he told the man he did not have
the money with him, but that he
had a good horse in the stable he
would put up against his fifty
dollars. He told him all right and
to bring him out. So he brought
out his horse and the other pro
duced the money, York's friend
holding the stakes. They handed
him the box and, to his great sur
prise and chagrin, he could not
open it and they led away his
herse. Very soon we found Mr..
Adams and he went tc the chief
of police who knew these men as
a bunch of crooks, and they made
an effort, to arrest the m n,
but were too late. They heard of
him two miles from the city and
still going. That was the last Mr..
York ever heard of his horse,
but he had learned by experience
what learned from observation
while in the army never to bet
on another mans trick"

"REMINISCENCES

10 Pioneer Days, ihd Some |hel.
dents Ia Cow Boy Life In
the West.
(By L. N. Perkins.)

After Mr.. Adams departure
for Kansas City, my friend York
and 1 had a very quiet time with
our three hundred head of cattle.
We corraled them at night and
herded them of days. 1t took US
both to get them out of a morn
ing on the grass, and to corral
them at night, but after they
we're out on the prairie one OF us
could keep them in place. Our
nearest neighbor was an Indian
family about two miles away.
They were called Indians but
were mostly Caucasion. They
had a grown daughter who had
been educated in the States who
was beautiful girl, and just
been married to a man whose
home was Kansas. The family
was very kind to US, which we
appreciated highly. 1t vas three
or four miles to CheJopa in Kan
sas, where we went when inneed
Of supplies.
The Coyotes were plentiful,
and impudent Of nights. We rare
" saw or heard one in the day
time, but at night they would
set q howl that would almost dea-
fen you, and we had to keep our
provision hoisted up so high they
could not reach them or sacked
up and put them under our beds
to keep them from stealing them.
One night we happened to have
same bread left and l put it in a
poke under my head. Some time
in the night was awaked by
something pulling at the poke.
/ made a grab for him but be
fore could get my pistol, which
kept in easy reach, he made a
disappointed howl and was gone.
In about ten days from the
time Mr.. Adams left us a couple
of men drove up to our shack one
evening to look at our cattle.
They were from Kansas City,
and had been told about the cat
tie and came to buy them. We en-
tertained them that night and
sold them the cattle for about
nine dollars per head, but we had
to take care of them until they
could 60 back to Kansas City
and send an outfit to keep and
care for the cattle during the
winter. In about a weeks time
one of the men came back pre-
pared to care for them, so we
rolled up our blankets, packed
our grips and started for Kansas
City. Our route was what
was known as the Old Military
Roa d. leading from 'Baxter's
Springs to Fort Scott and near
the line between Kansas and Mo.
on to the'city.
1t was now November. We had
been on the drive and camping
for about four months. The nights
were cool; the days windy and
dusty. At night one could not
tell by the color whether we were
negroes or white men. 1t took
four days to make the trip thru
to the city, where we found both
Of the Messrs Adam and Hatcher
we'll and happy. They had their
cattle sold and had the money,
and were preparing to start back
to the Lone Star State. There
were several stock men from
Texas in the city at that season,
and all of them were making pre-.
parations to return excepJ Mr..
Adams, who had some business
in another town in Mo. and ex-
pected to remain for a few d., s.
