Billiards on Horseback

One of the novelties introduced in
the game of billiards was the playing
of a game on horseback by the mem

The horses were taken up flight of

difficulty. The game was for 10
points up and was finished in 20 min

Starbuck Intervenes.

A wrangle between Bartoe and At

forced and acrimonious on Atkins
part, not cheerful on Bartoe's. Atkins
counseled defiance. But Bartoe remind
ed him sullenly that he had nothing
whatever at stake. Atkins had moth
ing more to do than strike the trail
for fresh pastures-he was reputed
to carry his roll all in his pocket
and come back to his barn when
things blew over; whereas Bartoe
faced the immediate loss of his whole
establishment. And in the heat of
their quarrel Starbuck, the man
whose name had been thrown men,
acingly at Selwood, walked bluffly
in on the angry men.
"Yes, Harry told me Selwood had

to Moses, whose stubbornness in re-

no offense.
But Selwood showed immediate In

He was a liveryman who traded in

he said. "Look here a minute"
Atkins glanced stupidity over at the
three, who stood with their eyes on
him. "Come over here, Atkins" said
Selwood again.
The expression of Atkins face

request. 81 guess it's about as far

danger. But he abated nothing what

Bartoe, with better judgment, realized
