a DRAMA IN WHICH THB PLOT
TERS WERE KILLED.
The Missive Explaining: a Murderous
Plot Delivered to the Wrong: Men.
Who a waits end Kilia Els Intended
Murderers.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Ouea in a long while, os by special bene
diction. the current ot a man’s life is turned
by a grain of sand.
We had been traveling through the west
ern country and at last, one night, tired and
hungry, we put up at a small taveru in a
rough mining town.
There were three of us, and between us
we had about 125,000 in gold dust.
For a few days past in the rough country
we tad noticed two men skulking along our
trail. They kept well in the shadows, so
that we never had a fair glimpse at them.
For awhile our appreheusions were some
what aroused, but as the men finally disap
peared on the fourth day, we concluded
that they were squatters or prospectors,
aod bad gone heuce for good and all.
That night Bill went down to the post
office after some mail.
“Bill Granger?'’ said the postmaster in
quisitively. "Well, I reckon there’s some
thing here for you. Lem’me see”—and he
looked over the pile of letters. “Oh, yes,”
be added, “here she is, a big, fat letter;
*en here for three days—'Bill Granger,
beadrock, Mont.’—yes, that’s you, sure
enough.”
With no more ado out oamo the greasy,
yellow letter.
And Bill went slowly down the rough road
toward the tavern, tearing open the en
velope as he passed along.
Suddenly he stopped. He gave a low
whistle of surprise. His eyes began to
bulge out of his head. He read on farther.
Then he gave another low whistle and
again ho paused. He finished the letter
somewhat abruptly, jammed it into his
pocket uud started back to the hotel.
A COOL SCOUNDREL.
We were all sitting around the fire when
be came in. He never seemed more indif
ferent in his life.
"Anything from home?" asked one of the
boys.
“No," said Bill.
“Anything new, Bill V’
“Nixie,” replied Bill. Then he added,
with just a shade ot resolution iu his voioe :
"Landlord, let’s have a drink all round,
and then we'll co to our rooms.”
"Good enough !” said one of the gang.
We drink all round.
There was more drinking until, the party
becoming quite jolly, Bill suddenly pulled
out his watch and said ;
“How about the horses ?”
“They are all right,” said the tavern
keeper.
“I don’t care if they are," said Bill, “I
want mine properly cared for. Would you
mind taking a peep outside, landlord, and
seeing if ’Rednose’ is all right?”
Bill and the landlord then went out in the
night to the stables.
They were gone about fifteen minutes.
We were just beginning to grow uneasy
when Bill returned.
He was alone,
“It’s all right," he said carelessly. "Now,
boys, let’s go to bed.”
Up the rickety old stairs we clambered in
the semi-darkness, a flickering candle sup
plying a feeble light, and eveu this being
momentarily threatened with extinguish
ment by the strong drafts that blew about
the place.
"Boys,” said Bill, carelessly, as we in
spected the two rooms that had been placed
at our disposal, "I guess I’ll take this one
alouo to-night; I feel sort of sick like, and
don’t want to be disturbed.”
Bill waited until his two companions had
passed into the other room. Ho heard them
slam the rickety old door behind them. He
listened, and could faintly hear their voices
blended in desultory conversation.
By and by all became still. Some min
utes passed. A deep silence now reigned all
over the bouse.
Bill waited no longer. He glanced at his
watch. It was just fifteen minutes to mid
night.
"Fifteen minutes 1” whispered Bill. "Not
a moment to lose!"
THB MOVING PICTURE.
The man now vnode a hasty inspection of
the room. He began tapping the partition
lightly with his knuckle. He tapped away
for about ten minutes amidst perfect
silence. He sounded along thus for a dozen
feet or so when suddenly he paused.
An old pioture blocked the path he had
traced with his knuckle. He cautiously
moved the picture aside and rapped lightly.
A hollow sound issued forth.
There, within two feet of the head of the
bed behind the picture, completely covered
with cheap paper like the head of a drum,
was a hole in the wall about a foot square.
It lacked two minuses of 12 when the man
had made this last discovery.
Not a moment was to be lost. The miner
hastily threw off bis ooat and vest. These
two garments he threw on the floor, and,
bending over, rolled them into a shapeless
bundle. He movod over to the bed, placed
his roll under the quilts and drew down the
pillow in such a way that the whole ar
rangement looked muoh like a man in bed.
\\ hen ho had finished it lacked just one
minute to 12.
The man with a steady hand now moved
silently over and with a quick puff blew out
the caudle.
He stood there in the dark close to the
old chimney. The moon streamed in at the
window and cast a feeble fringe of light
ovor the shapeless image lying in the bed.
So quiet was it that the specter there by the
chimney could hear the air ring in his ears,
and mechanioally noted the sharp ticking
of hi? silver watch a dozen feot away on the
tjble.
uhen there was a faint scuffling outside
the partitiou, like a rat in the wall.
Slowly the picture began to sway, as by
some unseen influence. A hand had softly
Punctured the rim of paper on the wall,
noiselessly the piotnre moved aside.
Iu that hand was a gleaming revolver.
Suddenly the town clock began to strike.
Stroke after stroke.
Niue! Ten! Eleven!
The thumb of the unknown band grasped
*od lifted the trigger of the revolver.
Twelve!
Hung! Bang!
"Help! lam dying! Help, I say! Help!”
A TERRIBLE MOMENT.
A quick step in the hall. The door bursts
open. In rushes —a masked man. He
moves straight for the bed. He leaps upon
>t, ns if to choke the victim there before
him.
But an iron grip is on his throat and an
Fon hand is pressing him to the floor, and
one man goes down in death.
That man wears a mask.
The other highwayman lies dead in his
tracks in the hall behind the partition,
The tbird-
But by this time the house is aroused. A
dozen men swarm Into the room- The land
nr“ is the first to speak. He glares at Bill
and says:
"Boy, arrest this man, he is a murderer!”
Everybody stares.
Not in a mining country, gents, I
reckon,” says Bill, siowlv, and with terrific
emphasis, “and never with suoh a landlord
“ s you, Pete Miles! I herewith arrest you
•or murder!”
“Me ?”
“Yea, you!”
,'Thls man is mad!”
No; I am not. I say you shall die.
" ur cowardly work Is undone at last! Ten
3 ars you have played this desperate game
lh a thousand times you have won. But
ne wheel has turned against you and you
JT 6 staked and lost. That one loss shall
iri.!? y .° u your Bfe. You, who are a hun
jj ternes a murderer, prepare to meet your
for in five minutes you shall be swing
s in the winter wind that howls over the
' lime. Boys, bind and gag this man. I
, - aer lt - ond shall prove my words. He is
■ o °u*and times a murderer!”
We bound and gagged Milas. Then Bill
drew from bis pocket a greasy piece of
paper. J
“When I went to the office to-night.
Boys, he said, "the old boy there gave me
this letter in mistake.”
“A letter T'
. N es. In this letter the complicity and
guilt of old man Miles is clearly shown.
For four days past me and my pards have
baen tracked by two sneaking out-throats
who belonged to this old man’s gang. They
“®*tet to murder us and steal our *25,000 in
gold dust. But one of ’em lies shot through
his heart outside of the partition, the other
is dead here on the floor, and the third—
well, old Miles, you die at daylight.’*
“It’s a lie!” cried one of the crowd.
THE CONVINCING MISSIVE.
“Then read this letter,” said Bill. In the
brief silence the man read;
“Miles; There will arrive at your place
m l 5 j yor *° tHree travelers with lots of
gold dust on ’em. Keep’em all night and
place ’em in the death room, with the hole
behind the picture, so that they may die
easy and without risk to us. They will be
easy prey and the swag is big. We shall
come so as to have them in at the death just
as the clock is striking 12. Do not fail us,
for this is the fattest job we have bad in
these last ten years. Tom Hawkstone.”
The name of Granger, one of their in
tended victims, so preyed upon the mind of
the outlaws that the letter was by mistake
addressed to Granger instead of the tavern
keeper.
Well, we strung up old Miles on the tele
graph pole outside the tavern, just as the
tray dawn was streaking ‘,eastern hills.
veryone in town took a pull at the rope,
for the old man was long suspected of a
dozen crimes,and public feeling was entirely
against him.
“Bill,” said one of the boys, as we cut old
Miles’ body down, as stiff and as dead as a
doornail, “why didn’t you let us in on this
shooting scrape, so that we would be in at
the death?”
“Because,” said Bill, sentantiously, “be
cause. pards, I desired to go it alone!"
And we believe that Bill was right.
QUAD’S TOWBL RACK MAN.
Waxes Prosperous and Grows a Trifle
Giddy Tasting Mint Juleps.
From the New York World,
“By George! but won’t this weather make
corn and ’taters hustle!” exclaimed tha pat
ent kitchen roller towel rack man from
Huckleberry Plains, as I found him resting
on a bench in City Hall Park yesterday.
I replied that I thought it would, and he
took a letter from his pootet and continued:
"Here is a letter from my son Bile which
I got to-day. Sends me #5 In cash and
says everybody at the Plains is still excited
over my patent towel rack. Says that
Hank Lefflngwell and Bill Henderson have
rented the old cooper shop and are trying to
invent a clothes horse with eight legs to it.
Haven’t even invented three of the legs
yet, but are s wellin’around and runuiqg in
debt for tea and saleratus. Say!”
"Well.”
"We’ve got four b’ar traps to home.
Bought ’em of a tin peddler fur half price.
Sile wants to ship ’em to me and see if I
oan’t sell ’em here. What do you think f
“Why, what would any one in New York
want of a bear trap?”
“Wall, that’s a question I’ve bin askin’
myself. 1 ’gpose b’urs hev got mighty skars
around here, and there ain’t no badger.? or
foxes to speak of. Awful nice thing,
though, to hare around the house. Some of
those fellers up on Fifth avenue might want
’em to set in front of their smoko houses or
hen coops. Sam Johnson had bln hookin’
meat out o’ my smoke house for over six
months, and oue night I caught him In a
b’ar trap. He hollered so that they hoard
him clear over to the Bebee Settlement.
Say!"
“Yes."
“It was the means of making Sam a good
man. I wouldn’t take him out of the trap
till he agreed to lick his boy Tom for
breakln’ my gate and to get religion, and
he’s been ringin’ the tneetia’-house bell and
actin’ as usher ever since. Whenever he
begins to act up and wants to go to a cir
ous or steal watermelons I just whisper
’Meat—smoke meat—b’ar trap’ to him, and
he braces right up. These people here don’t
want their smoke-houses robbed any more
than we do.”
“You wouldn’t find any sale for them
here.”
“Wall, you probably know best, but Sile
is kinder sot on it,” and I thought it
wouldn’t do no hurt to try. If they haln’t
got any smoke houses or hen coops they
might want to use a trap, as Squar’ Good
hue, of our town, did. He had a gal who
got a yoke of oxen, thirty-six sheep and
’ieven hundred fence rails by the death of
her aunt. All the young fellers
for nine miles around used tooumesparkin’,
and sometimes there’d be six fights join’ on
in the yard to onoe. The squar’ borrowed
two of my traps and set ’em at the gate,
and in two weeks not a young man in the
nayborhood dare look at his barn. How
suraever, I’ll tell Sile to hold on fur a bit.
There’s no use rushin’ things.”
“Does the roller towel rack continue to
catch on?” I asked.
“She does. The sales ain’t so dreadful
tremendous, but everybody is saying a
good word for it. T was up on Lexington
avenue yesterday, and nine different wfinin
told me to be sure to oome back in the fall.
They was goin’ off to the seashore and
didn’t oare whether the kitchen towel was
o i the roof or down cellar, but in the fall
they are goin’ to turn over anew leaf.
Have I got ’nuff hay seed on my hat and
collar?"
“A great plenty."
“Wall, I want to keep it there. I’m only
a plain, every-day man, right from Huckle
berry Plains, where everybody bangs a
pail of butter in the well duria’ the sum
mer and goes to bed at 8 o’clock at night,
and I don’t want to be mistooken for no
great statesman or millionaire. Say!”
“Well?"
"Some mighty cute people in this town.”
“Yes."
“The other day a fellow comes up to me,
looks my towel-rack all over over and says:
“ ‘Old Spearmint, you've struck it. Go
down this street two squares and inquire
for the boss of the mint. He wants a
dozen.’
“I went down and looked all around, and
in about au hour I found the place. It was
a mint where they made mint julips. Say!
Don’t you say a word so as it’ll git back
home, but I bad three of ’em 1 Yes, sir
traded a towel-rack for three of ’em, and
I’m kinder headed that way agin. It’s the
all-firedest, nicest drink you ever saw.
Suck 'er right up through a straw, and
she tastes all the wav down. I used
to think a glass of buttermilk right
out of the cellar hit the spot better’n any
thing else on earth, but shoo! I guess they
poured in considerable hard cider, fur I
hadn’t more’n the third glass down when I
kicked a chair sky-high and offered to mow
an acre of grass with any man in New York
for 6 shillings.”
“You musn’t get reckless here In New
York.”
“That’s so, and I’m holdln’ right on to
myself all the time. Why, if Sile should
oome here, he’d canter right to destruction
inside of a week; but I’m old aod settled.
Them julips was awful good, though. Jist
filled up that straw and gurgled down my
throat like a streak of lard runnin’ across
the kitchen floor, and I felt happier tnan
for nineteen years before. I’ve got to go
slow, however. Fust thing I know I’ll be
chawin tobacoo and talkin’ about race
hosses and prize-fights, and what would
Huckleberry Plains say to that? Lands!
but I’ll stick to ginger ale and soda after
this I”
“Well, I’ll see you again," I said as I made
ready to go. . ...
“I hope so. If you meet anybody while
poking around who wants a kitohen roller
towel-rack don’t let him get away. You
know all about it—thirteen revolutions—
one tenpeuny nail—saves a quarter of a
yard and to forth- Good-by.”
