CM the next trip up the North Kiver
Bill Feffvtar pondered a great deal over
the child. The fact in, the child, wlieth-
ar ha vraa utrako or asleep, was ^vditef*
for a moment out of BUl’a miud. li*
had uavar thought much about any
thing before, and it was hard work for
him to think at all. Maybe because
for more than eno-kalf of life MrAiraia
had been muddled by liquor bn had
never set it working. As the empty
•loop floated up Iha broad river, slow
ly moving with the tide. Bill sat iu tho
Shade of the flapping jib nsid argued
with himself, and tho general conclu
sions be arrived at wore by uo means
flattering to himsolf.
“The beginning and tko ending of
this hero is rum. 1’vo wasted nigh on
to 26 years of my life. Why hadn't ttio
boom ef that mainsail knocked the
stupid brains out of me before this?
What have 1 got to show for 4U year ot

you feel sharp sot for another juit this
biassed minute. You can't got it be

ster, don't you lake another drink no

wants. There's a whip.likewise a pair

the kid on her. Maybe Ton’ll be hunt
ing eround for more babius to knock
over with bricks yon good-for-nothing
lounging Bortugue«"
When BUI h id called bimsalf a Port
uguese he had poured the last drop
from his private vial of wrath on hit’
own beau. Bill helped to load tho
aloop with brick at Liavarstrsw, and
although it waa a hot, sultry day ami
tho work WM heavy, be never look a
drink. Tho other hands might cotuo
back, smacking thair lips end banter
ing him, but ho stood tirm.
“No use, boys,” said Bill "I did
the baalnoaa for that baby—and oace i*
enough. 1 have got to take kocr of
him. It stands to ro^on. None of
you is family mou like mo. I Liu stand
as much rnnuiog as tbo best of you,
but don’t you tryaadrun it iu too

It must bo stated that there really
was no necessity for Bill’s excited
words for Che hant^s an tho sloop seem
ed to take in tho situation at once, and
rathor respected the way Bill assumed
kls self-imposed duties

“Little Bill”—so thor called him
(Molly insisting that her brother's
natno sboitld serve fog tbo child)—im
proved, ’ but too slowly for hijy Bill.
The police surgeon was called in. Bill
Forster insisting on paying him a foe.
The opinion tho doctor gave was a
guarded one. “There is manifest im-
f rovoment—not. perhaps, as raphi as
should wish. You are a capital nurse,
ma’am, and 1 am sure your kioduoss
and attention will help the child. Ha
will come round, 1 believe."
The cool weather came, and with
lowering tew|>cratures tire doctor hoped
the child would gain strength. The
cicatrice on tko head had quite healed.
Slowly the littie boy aoemed to acquire
new words. Molly wondered at them
at limes, and thought that she had
taught them to the child; bat then again
the little fellow’s adopted mother was
startled by words she felt quite certain
the child haU picked up somewhere
else. Those now words came to the
child at first vaguely. Ho Wwukl re-

The child was more awake now.
This change delighted Muily. It never
was fretful. Tho child would lay quiet,
with its bluo eyes wide open for hours,
without a whimper.
So it went on for another week or
two. Bill, who was always coming
and gjuig. when he loft New York for
a trip up the river, was happy, for tim
child was bcticritig fast, so iiu believ
ed.
It woe an October evening when, os
the brick sloon was laing brought up
to the wharf. Bill saw Molly Issuing
against ono of the big woo Ic.v posts of
the dock. Bill was busy with the
hawser, hut at once ho saw that his
sister did not have tho child in hsr
arms; more than that, sho was crying.
Bui choked down Ins grief—he sociu-
cd to knoW at once what had happen
ed. One last hope there was. M.tybo
it was so cool fhjU Molly had been
afraid to bring the child with her.
••Bill," said Molly, sobbing, “tho
poor litlie fellow has gone to—to kcav-
su. it was lost sight. Ho called to
me sad said: 'Good-uight, mud-iter;
good-night, far-dor—now 1 mu going

Oh, Bill, ho had never spoken so long
a stnug of words before—then he play

At Mat ko made Bp bu mind that Moll]

should bavo the naming of the chii
“She’s got most rights to him, any-

violence without process of trial. Tho
typical cowboy must bo fearless, ready
to sheet At a moment’s yarning, wild
te his mako-up and language, and
ready to perpetrate a joke on a “ten
derfoot" at eny lime.
But there b oftcu considerable brag
gadocio in tbs sow boy, and a good illus
tration of this fact was told a Scntmel
reporter by a station agent, who had
Bred in the west for many year* and
had been in tho employ of various rail
roads in localities where cowboys wcio
numerous.
“1 have Men a rood many during
deeds performed xml coarse jokes per
petrated by cowboys," said the agent,
“but I will tell you of a little incident
where the wind was taken out of three
cowboys by a determined, fearless
‘tenderfoot.' It happened only lost
ipriug. 1 was then station scent and
telegraph operator for the Northern
Pacific llailroad company at a place
near the Montana line, it wap not
much of a plane, as it consisted only
of a depot, a house or two, and a sa
loon.
“Dos morning a traveling man ar
rived at tbo depot by stage from up
north somowlinro. Ho had a small
sample-case and sschei. Ho was be
low medium height and rather slight,
but was very noatJy dressed and wore
* silk hat He was traveling for a
New York jewelry house, lie was
about an uvu.'for the train east,
and he opened his grip o u ilia plat
form, took out a brush, usd dusted nib
clothing and shoes, lie then drew out
an eld newspaper, leaned up against
tho side of the depot with one foot pro
jected in front of the other, and began
reading.
“Meanwhile, however, throe cow
boys had sauntered up to the depot.
They all eyed him closely anil watched
bis operations. When hie began read-
they huddled together and talked
awhile in an undertone. Frosently one
of them—a big slx-footor—loft the
group and began to saunter carelessly
about the platform with his head in
the air Inspecting tho poster* on tno
building and tho cornice. When ho
got around where the traveling man
• toed, ho lifled his big brogan and
f ilantod it firmly on tho jewelry man's
oot. No apology was made. Tho
traveling man merely looked up, drew
his loot beck a moment, then placed it
back where it wu*. Thu cowboy pass
ed back to the other two. They all
ehocklod and joined in the low-touod
eonversation.
“Soon tho cowboy started out again
on s similar round, gaping at the roof.
When he reached tho traveling man ho
tried to bring down his eoarso hoot on
the extended foot. The traveling man
Jerked his foot hack suddenly, und the
brogan camo down with u thump on
the platform. Another conlsronco and
chuckling fnllowod. Fid any the cow
boy eel eat on the third round. Just
as hs was about to ra.so his foot to
plant it on that of the traveling nnn,
tec tetter looked up quickly and sa d:
“ 'bee here, there ts my fool, and it’s
going to stay there. You step on It,
U you want to, but I want to tell you
that before you can get off of it I will
kill you.’
"Such a volley staggered tno cow
boy. He looked at the foot, and then
at the f-uial! possessor, and limuiy
moved oil without stepping on it. An
other consultation followed.
“The tritollng man c.ilmiy read bit
paper a Kw minutes, then took
truso his xacltol three *]fp!a->. He look-
xl at them a moment, and suddenly
threw them a few tout into the air and
then quickly drew it revolver, fired
three shot*, splitting each apple Into a
dozen nieces before they reached the
untl. Hy replaced the cartridges
upwjp{a|rfh#rs of the revolver,
rnWTtto fill pocket. ■
“The cowboys witnessed Mid fB
without saying a word, and soofl, com-
pletely cowed, turned and left tho de
pot. The traveling man told me aftat
they left that ho would have killed the
three ef them had the fellow stepped
M hi* foot again, and 1 think he would,
as he was quick as lightning. Ho
thop showed me a medal he,earned,
irlfck he Fern SI boMfc the most rapid
and one of the best shots in Now York.
The story simply Illustrates that there
is sometimes a great deal of fictitious
valor and daring about the cowboy."—
