Iu Iss— 1 was editing a paper in a wild
mining town in Montana, 1 wm just from
the cost and decidedly “fresh.”
A prominent member of the society of
the soainy strata of the town had married
an old time gambler and well known ‘ter¬
ror” named Jack Brown. Brown and his
wife gave a farewell reception to their
friends, an occasion still green in the
memory of tho sporting fraternity as being
the wildest carouse in the history of tho
burg, and this is a touching tribute to tbe
beighth. breadth and depth of the occa¬
sion. They then removed themselves to
another town in tho some state, much to
the regret of tbe police magistrate, whoso
income depended upon the fees in criminal
cases, Tbe law and order element of the
community breathed easier, however.
Mrs. Brown did not take kindly to mar¬
ried life, and after n few w«*k» of overitj-
dulgenoe in stimulants slie ascended tho
golden stairs via the morphine route.
Knowing that this item of news wopld
be eagerly rend by niy subscribers, I wrote
0 biography of the lady. rofor^ug to her
as a member of that circle of society which
finds its mentor in tho poiico justice. I
was rather proud of the effort, and secured
a copy of the paper ns soon as it came from
the press and viewed the alliterative head¬
line and well rounded phrases with fond
and self congratulatory admiration. After
the paper was distributed about town I
took a walk down street. As I passed the
Blue Front palace of refreshment I ran
aoross Mike Kelsey, Jack Brown’s old
partner In crime. He had a copy of the
paper In his band, and looked at me with
a rather quizzical expression in his eyes,
remarking:
“So you’re goin away are you?”
Bather surprised, I said that I had not
heard of it as yet.
"I thought you were when I read this,”
he said, pointing to my obituary effort.
“Why?” said I rather anxiously.
“Oh, nothin,” said Mike.
I passed on to the office, too proud to
ask an explanation, but just a little bit
uneasy. Tbero was but one door to my
offioe, and my desk was across a far cor¬
ner of tho room, so that when I was at
work my back was to tbe corner and my
face toward tho door.
In the wisdom of fate there was to be
no delay In my first losson in practical
journalism. As luck would have it, tyie
train from the west came in about that
hour, and as it slowod up Jack Brown
stopped nil tho oars, as big and as proud of
his “killing record’’ as ever. Somo kind
friend wus at the depot and showed him
my literary gem. Ho read it with close
attention, muttered a few words not trans¬
latable and started for my ofifioe.
I was sitting at iny desk writing a let¬
ter to a friend loack east, tolling him bow
well I was getting along and how easy it
was for a man with fair intelligence to
hold iris own in the west, when suddenly
1 heard the door opon, and I looked up. I
saw in front of ine a man about 6 feet tall,
broad shouldered and muscular. His face
was a type that furnishes deputlos for tha
sheriffs’ offices in the west and reoruits for
tho desporate gang]—square Jaw, woll de¬
veloped nose, regular features and droop¬
ing mustache. There was nothing in this
so far to awaken any emotion in my breast,
but when I realized that it was Jack
Brown; that ho held in bis right hand a
big 45 colt’s six shooter, and that the tears
woro streaming down his cheeks, my heart
still. It has been my experience
that one should get out of the way as
promptly as possible of any determined
man with a six shooter in his hand, but if,
in addition, he is “crying mad” say^our
prayers, for tho outlook for your safety is
more than gloomy. K
Jack advanced toward my desk, a copy
of tho paper in his left hand, his gun In
his right, covering me as I sat behind my
desk, pale and motionless.
“Did you write tblsf” he demanded.
I knew what he had reference to without
further plans or specifications. It was my
gem. I made an effort at a sickly
lntendhd to be conciliatory, and aft¬
swallowing two or three big lumps In
“Yes,” said Jack, “I know where his

she did do wrong. She’s entitled to be
alone, and I’ll Bee that she is.” And
was gone like a flash out of the door.
I immediately ran intent up the street in the
direction, upon carrying
my hastily conceived plan. I rnsbed
a store the owner of which was an
business man and well ac¬
with everybody. I explained the

which have been shown me in so many
