MILLARD. OR a fact, jou bever saw a fresher, cleaner cowboy tbau Montie Hollister. Monlie was from Maine, where they make the boys wash the dishes aud knit the socks if there happen to be no girls sent into the family. He had no sisters anil so lie was pul through the housework, which troubled him not at all. He rather liked it, in fact. Ho brought some of his dishwashing notions with him to the range and many other tenderfoot, ideas. Among these latter was the horror of seeing anybody killed. He was so neat with his kit, washed and shaved so much, and woro sur.h fleckless jumpers and Blurts that the boys sometimes called him Girly Hollister. We were a bad lot at Lucin's. Home body was always getting killed and. buried. Wheu Pete Orr got three of Bill Somers’s bullets lu him and died before the clock in old Ashby's groggery could give, a dozen ticks, it made some of the boyB laugh to see how ridl< ulously the man squirmed on the floor and with what a flop his head fell back against the pieee of line by the little stove. But Montie did not laugh. He just turned away his head and went out and looked over the sagebrush in a very Rolemn way. 1 fol lowed and saw him bend over and wipe his eyes with his white handkerchief. It affected me more to see him that way than it did to sec Peet’s mouth open when his head fell back. But a cowboy with a clean, white linen handkerchief— just think of thatl Pete wasn't anything to Montie—not even a half-way sort of a friend. The fact wax he hail led the .laugli on him many a time when the boy had done something to show his girlish* ness. But Montie couldn't help weep ing when he died. Now, you are mistaken about the boy [if you thiuk there wasn't any sand in him. You ought to have seen him ride that bucket up at Mesilla Springs. The beast had never had a saddle touch his Ihide before, and he threw off every one (of the six men who tried to ride him. You know there is the back of a regular bronco that comes up like the thing the jPhilietines or some other fellows used to [throw big stones with when they besieged the high walls of .Jerusalem. But this [bronco had a double spring. Just when [you thought you were comiDg down all ■right into the saddle after the first spring [he met you half way with the other, and that laid you out cold. But he didn’t 'throw Montie. That boy kept oil as (irm *as the ssddlehorn and rode the beast six 'times arouud the corral and up to the ranch bouse. The boss said he was a nailer, but the buckcr had spattered Montie's chaparejos with mud, and so he [wasn t happy. The boys need to say (that Girly Hollister combed out his chapa- rejos every night before he got into his [blanket, which may or may not have I been true. Now about that affair of the Mormon girl. You couldn’t get me to tell the [story for a whole band of long horns if it wasn't for two things. It has gone ia out that Montie turned Mormon him seif and went through the Endowment (Hoire. But it isn't so. They’ve got the wrong brand on him. I want to take the twists out of that story; also to tell about that affair of Big Dorkin. The credit for that business has been given to the wrong man long enough. You see the girl was the daughter of a [man who had been a Bishop and had a front seat in the Tabernacle, but he moved away from Salt Lake and died. She be longed, to the tenth wife, I think—or was it the eleventh? Anyway it was a long way from the first. The Bishop had all kinds of sons and daughters— red-beaded, black-headed, white-headed and brown. She was one of the dark ones, and if there was a prettier among [the whole twenty-three girls I never saw her. Most of them were as ugly as sin. Her mother, a quiet little woman from Louisiana, had settled in a valley by her self, about ten miles from Lucin'9. She h8d quite a ranch that the old man had 'left her and about three hundred head, lifers was the XU brand, with a saw tooth slit in the left ear. She had Chinamen at work ou the rAfinlj—fi strange thing foi a Mormon. But there was s white man in charge of things for her, He was the hulkingest, big Mor mon that ever I saw. Not bad looking was Ephraim Dorkin. Splendid shoul ders. big heavy neck (.a, head like Goliah and hoofs on him ljjfc any Missourian. He was proud, and he wore twelves when he should bfttre worn fourteen!, and the boys used to say that his boots were full of feet. Yes, he was proud, aud he had reason 4o.be when you put hmru^ugsWe of the" rest of the male MotnwjJ^hereAbnilU They were ugly Y m could see at once tjiat, Big Dorkin though lie owned Jess .Beamster, .less did not wear the poke bonnets of the rest of tbs women of Motmoudom, nor (hat ugly gown that you see oil them that bangs straight down on three sides, is short in front and trails hi a pointed pennant behind. No, she harnessed as she pleased, and she always looked trim and interested you. Her mother didn’t care, lu fact, she leaned a bit toward the reformed Latter-Day Sands and the revised Book of Mormon, and she didn t believe that the Lord would strike her daughter dead If she came out looking rather smart uow and then. When Montie first saw that girl she had on n pink soiuethingand a little flat, red hat with beads on it and a dotted veil that came down to her lips. The combination struck him right between the eyes. He was more babyish than evei after that, aud when Hhort.y Spence laid out Frank Van Zilc, lie wet his hand kerchief so dial you could have wrung out enough tears from it to have watered s sheep. I remonstrated with Montie. "You can't go in for Mormons, greeny,'' said I, in my off hand way. "Why don't you marry a greaser girl, and bo done with it? She’d make it lively for you the greaser would—but she wouldn't he bothering about ‘the or dinances,’ ‘the Paraclete,’ 'the imposition of hands,’ 'the endowments' and the seven bulls of Bashan.” "I ain’t goin’ to let her do anything of that sorl if I mar. v her," said Montie, with his Maine twang "Yes, you will. And 'Jae tribe will curse you for a Gentile and all the peo pie will say 'amen.' You can't get around it, You’ll have to enter Into Zion yourself and become a saint with the rest of them, if you do this unholy thing.” Montie reflect* 1 while he drove a steer info the corral. But what did the sap- headed young bull-puncher do but go over to Beamsler's place that very night. Now, I knew Big Dorkin wouldn’t stand much of that sort of thing, and 1 wns glad when Montie told me next day that he had had a big row with the large man, and that lie had been ordered off the ranch. "The coyotes will be eating you in about a week, Girly," I said, "unless you k:ep away from there. Dorkia is a dead shot." Montie whipped out his six-shooter and, without gtaucing at the sight, plumped a nailhead in the door of the flugout fifty feet away. It was the only nailhead you could see from where we stood, aud it was a rattling good shot. "1 kin shoot, too," he said, vory quietly. The baby wes gettiag its teeth. I don’t know how lie got on with Jess after that, but he seemed to be light hearted enough, and I take it that she liked his down East ways, hii twang and his fresh, dean look, for he got her pic ture and sent to Eureka for a brooch. I wondered wheu Dorkin would trill him. The time would not he far away. I felt sure. The big fellow came up to Lucin’s every Saturday night, and I no ticed he looked sourer and sourer each time. All of us made sure there would be a dead Maine man in camp before long, and we were sorry that it wrs go ing to be Montie, for he wassucli a quiet little fellow, and so dean. The shooting took place just before dusk in the second week of August. Montie had been down to the Beamsters’ and was coming hack to camp. I was loitering along the trail waiting for him to come up. Ho was about half a mile away from me when I first, saw him com ing along in the queer little hop-trot that his buckskin had. When 1 looked over there the second time l saw some one on horseback swooping down ou Montie from behind. The hoy didn't notice the newcomer at first, but ho turned his head wheu ho hoard the clat ter of the hoofs ou the ground, and when he turned I.saw he had his six-shooter in his hand. So tire fellow co ning on was Big Dorkin, of course, and I was goiug to see some fire fly. Mind you now, it was their own tight, Why should I have taken ahaud in it? A two to-one combination is a low-down thing for a man to go into, even though you do feel like helping out a friend. So 1 kept out of range and the groasewood sort of hid me, but they didn't notice me anyway any more than as if I’d lieen a jack rabbit or a coyote. jt was the prettiest shooting I ever raw for the distance. Thsy didn’t get close together. You see Dorkin thought that would be an advantage to him, but he didn't know how much practicing Montie had done at longe range. Every shot fired hit something. One took Montie In the left arm. I knew that, for I saw the arm fall, limp-like, when Dorkin pulled, and then there wore two shots almost together. 1 think Montie’s punched a hole in Dorkin’s neck, and I know that tho other struck the boy’s mustang, for he gave an awful plunge. Well, they had it bask and forth; Moufie, like a fool, tiring fast, while Dorkin took It slow. But the big fellow seemed to be getting lightheaded, for he reeled and nodded in his saddle and there wa- blood running from his head and from ills hand. But Montie was pretty well pinked. 1 could see that, though he sal up steadily enough. Eleven shots fired aud Dorkin had the twelfth Montie cou'dn'I. slip in another cart ridge very easily because his left hand was no good, and so In- sat there and waited for that last, shot. Dorkin didn't seem to he in any hurry to file it. He had it all his own way now. He tooled and bowed a minute and then he steadied up an 1 walked his horse toward Montie with a grin that spread all over his big face. It wasu't the kind of grin thnl makes a man sleep well after lie lias seen it—a ghastly, nasty grin. I wanted to yell to Montie to give his mustang the pin wheel, but. somehow I louldnt’ do it. Maybe his cloan, sloady, nerve, as tie sat there waiting for Dorkin rime up, took my breath nivav. 1 know this, that it made my face tingle I my fingers to clench to see him thore. Was that big brute never golnj> to stop? It lookc I a= though lie were go ing to ride the boy down. It was time that 1 look a hand. Way hadn’t I done it as soon as the boy’s last shot was one? 1 jabbed the spurs into Nance and she gayo a bound forward, putting me al most in range, but in that second Dor kin raised his pistol witii an aim that, was as firm as an iron tail and gave an other ghastly grin. He was within fen feet of the boy, who sat there with a smile on his face. Just as 1 was oxped ing t» hear the pop and see the Hash down fell Dorkin’s right, hand. Hie left, clutched his side, his head flopped dowi over his horse's neck and tho ball from his pistol nearly took the shoe off from Montie's buckskin. One of Mont.ie’s bullets had done its work, just on the scratch, as you might say. Montie and I shook hands without a word. No, he didn’t cry that time. 1 |saw he needed a doctor, bill there wax something else to be done just then, i “Do you really want to marry that Beamsler girl?" I asked. The young saphead grinned as he said, "Yes." "Well, you’ll never do it in the world till this thing's fixed up all right.” I pointed to Dorkin’s well peifornled body. "What do you menn?" "Can’t you see? She won’t dream of having you if she knew that you plunked the life out of that. man. He’s linen something to her some time, if lie isn’t now. And then, remember, he was a Mormon.” “It does look ugly,sure,” said Montie, "Of course it does. What’s to be done? Let me think. Why, 1 killed him.” "You?” "Yes.” And before he could say another word I had peeled off my jumper and put a bullet, through one sleeve and another through the loose part of tile back. Then I fired another through the top of my bat. Mottle looked on in a dated sort of way. "You see, it was about that old TQ brand quart el of ours. You remember that trouble, Dorkin and 1 had last yeai f Well, that was it.” "But how about me?" He glance 1 at his arm as lie spoke. "You—why you've got to go to Eu reka in China Jim’s wagon on til-: den I quiet. When you come back in three weeks from now you've had a fight with a man who tried to hold you up, or something.” Montio's eyes were moist with grati tude, but I hastenei him away to the lone cabin of China Jim, whom wo bought, body and soul, for two gold twenties. After that when I walked into old ! Ashby’s groggery the boys showed me ■ the utmost respect. “That’s tlie fellow who laid out big | Dorkin,” they would say to a stranger in j low toms as I passed along. "He's a bad mail.” And to save my life I couldn't help swaggering a little as I wore the giant a robe. No; I wasn’t at the wedding. To tell the truth, nobody was invited. Tne Beamsters kept it still for fear the ehicr.i would make ft Juw about Jim marrying a Gentile. They were welded by that Baptist preacher over from Tewks’, which was the more reason for keeping it quiet. —Ban Francisco Examiner. POPULAR SCIENCE. We live at a distance of only twenty trillion miles from the nearest so-called "fixed” stars. A street letter box charged with elec- tricily from crossed wires gave a severe shork fo a Pittsburg (Penn.) letter car rier recently. Africa is the moBt remarkable of all the countries as respects its animal dis tribution. Out of a total of 523 known species, 47? of them are to be found in no other country. It is now generally held by electricians that the principle of the aurora borealis is the same a« that shown by the Getssler tube, in which electricity is discharged through rarifled air. , In a discussion lately carried on as to the distance at which large objects on the earth’s surface are visible, it was stilted that the Himalaya Mountains have appeared fo view from the great, distance of 224 miles. A new method of quickly rendering glass transparent during the process of manufacture cousists in forciug into the melted materials a stroRin of oxygen gas, the enot moils heat generated oxidizing all deleterious materials. A new form of saddlo is being served out to the gnrda du corps experimentally by ordor of the German Emperor. There has been Home falk ill military circles lately of a new saddle, all the metal parts of which are made of aluminium. At a meeting of tho Royal Society of Berlin, Germany, Dr. A. Bruce called attention to a curious case of cyclopia, or single eye, which had come under his uoficc. There was hut a single socket for the eye, that exactly in the centre at the base of the forehead. A powerful lamp, which distinctly Illuminates objects over ahalf a mile dis tant, by means of a great reflector, is to be adopted in the French Army. It is carried on a light wagon behind the soldiers, and they will urfTft obscurity, while the enemy and all objects in front will bo made conspicuous. The flora of Europe ombracos about 10,000 speries. India has upward of 15,000. Natal and Cape Colony region have 15,000 species, the largest number known on auy spot of equal size in the world. In the whole of the British pos sessions, which are as large as all Europe, there are less than 5000 species. Atrophy, or muse’e wasting, is a pro cess or morbid diminution of the wholg body, or part of it, caused by this early decline. Its process is slow but decided—fibre by fibre, bundle by bundle, and then muscle by muscle—and as this atrophy goes on, fatty degenera tion ft. complete, and electro-muscular contractability is gone. According to Professor Mer starch is very abundant, through the bark and woody structure of trees about the fall of tho leaf. It is gradually reduced in quantity until the buds begin to swell in spring, when it is rapidly formed again. By the end of April in France there was as much as in tho previous September. These results, from apparently very care fully conducted experiments, completely reverses what has hitherto been regarded as the "solid truths of science.” Papular Working Men's CJuh, A "Tes Te-Tum" Is a now name fof an old Idea In London. It is simply a laboring man’s club house, tho name having no significance whatever, aud be ing only chosen because it, is striking and likely to attract attention There are now eight tee to tums in London, and they all pay a handsome dividend on tho investment. The ground floor of a tee-to-tum is a restaurant, and is as brilliant and attractive as a continental cafe. Tea, coffee, cocoa, soups of all kinds, meats, vegetables, puddings aud cakes are served at all hours at bottom prices. Aloug one side of the room, is a counter where ten is Bold in packages, and some weeks the sales aggregate 7000 pounds. Upstairs are the rooms for the club, a very popular feature. The Shoreditch tee-to-tum, for instance, has a club membership of SOO. There are smoking rooms, reading rooms, chess rooms, class rooms for students, bath rooms, and a private dining room for members of the club only. There is also a hall capable of seating 500 or BOO persons, whore entertainments, lecture", etc., are held. The clubs are somewhat sensationally advertised, as will be seen from the following advertisement of the Whitechapel Club. TEE-TO-TUM PBOPLE’B REFRESHMENT ROOMS AND RECREATION CLUB.

Such institutions as St. George’s Memorial House, and St. Bartholomew's Parish House are already doing a magnificent 'work in the same lines. But the idea is capable of still further extension, alto gather apart from the churches. There is every reason to believe that the work ing men's club like the tee to tunis, es tahlishod ,on "a. purely secular basis, would be not t only popular, but would 'pay their own way. The name given to the Loudon clubs might be considered too fantastic by American working men, jbut some name equally striking coiilj easily be found.—New York Tribune. Cultivating Ceoea Trees. Cocoa trees are cultivated generally throughout the West Indies, Central America and Northern South America. The trees are planted about ton feet apart. It takes them about eight years to reach full productive age, and they remain productive from thirty to forty years thereafter. When young the trees are delicate. It is customary to plant plainlains between tho rows of cocoa trees to attract the insects that would otherwise injure the latter. As they grow < filer the cocoa trees become very hardy. Tho cocoa beans, from which chocolato is manufactured, come in pods, about forty to the pod. There are two crops a year, and a tree in good con dition will bear perhaps three pounds of beans per crop.—New York Sun. Unsightly Streams Made Fish-ponds. Brooks or small streams left in their wild state are often ills,agreeable ob jects, but given a little attention,cleaning out, deepening, planting the borders witii suitable shrubs, making dams occasion ally over which the water may tumble, with now and then n fishpond or some thing of that kind, would render them attractive features.—Green’s Frtiil Grower.

When population in the United States becomes much denser aud the pressure is felt in every neigh borhood, who will posess it? One seems to see in certain tendencies of American life the probable answer to this question. The small farmer will be bought out,and will disappear. The whole land will pass [into the hands of the rj:h, being too Iprecious for the poor to own. Already here and thore one notes the disposition to create vast domains by the slow swal lowing up of contiguous small ones. Consider, then, in this connection the taste already showD by the rich Ameri can in certain parts of the United States to found a country place in the style of an English lord. Consider, too, that, the landscape is much like the loveliest of rural England, that tho treos, the grass, the sculpture of the scenery are such as make the perfect beauty of a park; that the fox, the bobwhitc,the thoroughbred, and the deer are indigonous. Apparently, therefore, one can foresee the yet distant, time whoa this will become the region of splendid homes and ostales that will nourish a taste for outdoor sport3 and offer an escape from the to.) woaiyiug cities. On the other hand, a powerful and ever-growing interest is that of th* horse, xacer or trotter. Mo brings into the State his increasing capital,his types of men. Year after year he buys farms, and lays out tracks, and builds Rtables, and edits journals, and turns agriculture into grazing. In time the blue-grass region may become the Yorkshire of America. —Centurv A Wenderful Thing Is an Egg!
