doing into one of the lmnlcvt of the
numerous hard saloons in his place the
other night, Jake mounted a chair and ,
, commanded silence. The games and
the drinking came to nil end, aud about
i twenty men, young and old, looked
| up. One fellow undertook to edge out,
v but Juke stopped hitu.
1 “No you den t, mister," lie said puin
, ting his linger at him. "No you don't.
' ' When you get *..» hell you’ll have chances
' enough to come h sneak on somebody,
v but you can’t do it here." Then straight
1 i citing himself up, he yelled in n voiei
I that made things creak:
‘‘ j “How many of yeu’s ready te die now i
1 I with your boots on? Where'll yon be to
! breakfast? don’t any of yon drunken,
. swearing, lighting, blaspheming, garni)

, cause I know ye. I've been through
the diive. You’re all in your sius. Yon
know a fat, well-fed, well enred-for, thor
oughly branded steer when you soo one, i
and you can tell whose it is and where it
> 1 belongs. There's a man that owns it.
! Tilde's a place for it to go. There's a
law to protect it. llut the Maverick—
who's is that? You'eral! Mavericks and
' worse. The Maverick has no br.aud on
him. lie goes hollering about until
somebody takes him iu and claps the)
branding iron on him. But you whelps
you've gel the devils brand on you (
You'vo got bis lariat about you. He lets
yon have rope now, but he’ll haul you j
iu when lu» wants firewood.”
"There ain’t noaitccp herders on these
ranges that can come around me putting
ou any airs. I’ve been oil the drive in i
Texis. I've herded from the panhandle!
to the North Platte and from Kansas,
City to lets Animas, and I never yet see
a bunch of cuttle that wnn't of more ac

w ith a brush Mt.d a kettle of red or black

iu hell daubs you with red paint from
top to toe, aud then changes hia mind
and paints you black? Oh, you'll get
there. Seme of you can feel the lariat
how, and all von old whiskey-tubs bore
can smell the tire. I'll bet you live

I get down. Won't do it. ell? Well, you
will get down. That's right. Now you

More out! More ont! That's some
thing like it! There's the devil’s drive

1 range of hell, where the grass ia brim
stone and the water is tire; mid the range
of heaven, w here the gruas is knee high
and sweet with ponies, aud the water
is as clear as the sky. There’s the Lord
for thc’boM, and the everlasting arms
reaching out for all us poor Mavericks,
for tin? hungry and tb.rsty, tor the beef
critter theta only a shudder, for the wee
lamb and the crippled old buck. But
you've got to bleat. There a the devil
with his yoko and lariat, with hi*
fork and his spit, with his cruel laugh,
and his legions of hellions anxious to
come a aneek on you. \\ hich is it, you
miserhle sinners? I* it devils or angels.
“Keep down there, every one of you- j
till I get through. I know what you’ll

You dassent yelp now. Y'ou’re a nice
I lot of ru(liana, ain’t you? You’d look
j nice gallivanting orotind in heaven,
wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t hell itself turn
pale if it saw you coming? Y'ou know i',
i would. But, bless the Lord, thero is a
