BY CY WARMVAN. “ITS awtel for yon to have to die for me,’’ said the messenger as the two men leaned upon their elbows and looked at each other. His shirt was pasted to his shoulder. His shoe having filled up, the blood was now oozing out between the 4 lacings. **It is not awful,”’ said the dark man, rubbing the ends of his fingers over tha wound in his breast. ‘‘It'sa useful end- ing of a wasted life. that I should die so nearly satisfied. And snch sport! Why, that fight be- tween you and the—and Huerfano Bil), She turned to face the poase. a@ you call him, was the best thing TI ever saw. And the last wild plunge of the maddened horse. What a climax! i wonder where the soul plunges to at that last leap? Stuff, there is no soul and no place to plunge to. I’ve always said so. And yet,’’ he went on, look- img steadily at his companion, ‘‘when I was near fainting a moment ago I thought the end had come, and instead of darkness there was dawn—an awful dawn—the dawn of a new life, and the glare and uncertainty of it frightened | rae. I can’t remember ever having been | frightened before. Did you ever see the eky so blue?’’ he asked, as he leaned egainst a rock and turned his face to- ward the heavens. ‘‘And the hills se green and the air so fresh and cool and sweet?’’ And again there was silence, and the wounded man appeared to be trying to listen to the lifeblood that was trickling into his lung and won- dering how long it would take it to fil- ter away. The messenger dozed. The black horse bit off a mouthful of bunch grass, and, holding it still, raised his head and listened. The men sat up and reached for their arms. The sound of the approaching army came from the . canyon. **They’ve been re-enforced,’’ said the ‘But you're all right—I cap square you in two minutes—and as I’ve got to cash in any way it makes no . difference. Look out, there’s a woman,”’ he said excitedly as the warden’s daugh- ter Ginerged from the canyon and gal- loped toward them. *‘Hello, gal!’’ said the dark man. ** Where is he?’’ she called. **Here, here,’’? cried the messenger from behind the rocks, anda moment later she was bending over him. Fora brief moment she sufferee him to hold her to his breast, and then, pushing him uway, she looxed him full in the face arc asked in a tone that almost froze his blood: ‘‘Are you guilty or in- nocent? Tell meguickly.’’ But the mes- senger appeared to be utterly unable to answer or even comprehend her meaning. She stood up and glanced toward the canDvon. ‘*He’s all right, gal. You’ve made no niistake,’’ said the stranger. ‘He saved my life,’’ said the messen- ger, pointing to his companion. ‘Why doa't you thank him?’’ ‘How can J?’ she asked, turning to the stranger and offering the gloved band. ‘*Take this package to Mra.

The ngent, realizing at a glance what an awful mistake had been made, fell upon the bewildered messenger and wept like a woman. Every passing sec- ond sddea to the general confusion and excitement. Cries of ‘‘Hang them, hang them!’’ came frequent aud fast from the Tapidly increasing crowd. The warden, who also understood, lifted his daughter, held her in his arms and kissed away the tears that were filtering through her smiles. ‘*I don’t believe it,’’ said the sheriff to his companion. ‘*Because you’re a chump,”’ said the dark man. ‘‘What’s it all about?’’ asked the messenger © «he agent. ‘*Where is the murderer?’’ cried a mewcomer, a brother of the dead deputy, and then, catching sight of the messen- ger, he ran straight toward him, hold- ing out # cocked revolver as though it had been a-etvord with which he in- tended a) run hii throngh. When he was Wiihin fou® or five feet of the wounded man, the dark man struck him a fearful blow with a .45. The man went down. The dark man conghed and a great flood of blood gushed from his mouth; he clutched at his throat and fell forward upon his face. When they turned him over, he was dead. ‘*My poor dead friend,’’ the messen- ger almost moaned, dragging himself to- ward the prostrate form, ‘‘and I don't even knew his name,.’’ **I do,’’ said Sheriff Shores, who had just arrived upon the scene and pushed himself through the crowd. ‘‘It’s Huer- fano Bill, the bandit.”’ THE END. —_——-_ A Conscientious Deacon, A French paper tells a story of an Amfrican (probably Chicago) deacon, the owner of a large pork packing estab- lishment, who was not above sharing the work of his men. He nsed to stand at the head of the scalding trough, watch in band, to time the length of the scald, crying, ‘‘Hog in!’’ when the carcass was to % thrown into the trough and ‘*Hog ottt!’’ when the watch told three minutes. One week the press of business com- pelled him to work unusually hard, and Saturday found the deacon completely exhausted. Ee was too good a church- man to rest next morning, however, and, tired out as he was, he attended service as usual, but the strain was too great. He soon fell asleep. The minister preached a sermon of uncommon effect- iveness, the peroration of which was a perfect climax of beauty. Assuming the attitude of one listening intently, he re- cited to the breathless audience: ‘“‘Hark! They whisper. say’? — ‘*Hog in!’’ came in stentorian tones from the deacon’s pew. The astonished congregation turned from the preacher, but he, too intent, went on: **Sister spirit, come away’’— ‘*Hog out,’’ shouted the deacon; **tally four!’’ Angels eemensrenncs 802 Some Queer Texts. When ladies wore their **topknots’’ ri- @iculously high, it occurred to Rowland Hill to adp-onish them from the pulpit, and he did it by means of the words, *“Topknot, come down,’’ which he evolvea f-9m Matthew xxiv, 17, ‘‘Let him which is on the house top not come down.’’ Of coarse nothing but the exceeding quaint- ness of the preacher could have excused such a liberty with the sense and sound of sacred text. a : * almost as bed as Swift's uniquely brief discourse on the text, ‘‘He that hath pity upon the poor tendeth to the Lord. ‘Nv friends,’’ snid the dean, as he closed the book, ‘‘if you appreve of the security, down with the dust.” Asa matter of fact, it is usually only the quaint preachers who do venture on such liberties. ~—Chambers’ Journal.

In good times every collier keeps a live ani- mal of some sort, and, though dogs, guinea pigs, cage birds and homing pigeons are attractive, his fancy animal is usually a pig. He admires this on Sunday after- noons, and groups of friends go round to smoke their pipes and compare pigs and yet on their ultimate weight. They have private pig shows, with subscription prizes. Each animal is judged in its own sty, and it is interesting to know that the evolu- tion of an almost perfect pig was due to the innate sagacity of the Yorkshire pit | hand, The sties in which these animals live boards nailed over railway sleepers, but it is interesting to learn that when the au- thor was acting as a peripatetic judge at the co,liers’ show he found young pigs as blooming and healthy as possible, and that, small though the colliers’ back yard is, he always contrives that his pigsty shall the south.
