ANTRIM'S DEATH.
5V-
There Is an Intoxication in the
•heddlng of human blood that is for
tunately given to but tew men to
know. Borne men are uforo suscep
tible to it than others—just ns Bomo
men degonovate more rapidly into
Irunknrds by the drinking of wino
than others. ThiH blood drunken
ness is not war. Soldiers seldom
know It. In war when you feel your
bayonet Bink to the shank in the soft
yielding breast of another, or drop a
man with a bullet, you lose interest
in tho man you havo killed and jerk
out your bayonet or load your rifle
tor unother. Blood drunkenness is
merely killing for the sake of killing.
A hundred years ago this blood
drunkenness was recognized by the
law prohibiting butchers from serv
ing ns Jurymen, It is still recognized
on our frontiers, whore the restraints
of law are not so rigorous ns in popu
lous communities. A half score years
ago it was more com muff than at
present. There were but fow sec
tions then but hud their blood dipso-
tamed to his ranch and his cattle,
promising the girl not to be long ab
sent. While he was i
gone the man
whose death he had voted for es
caped prison. The judge who had
presidod at tho trial in his terror left
tho county and went to Saute Fe to
be safe, and tho girl wrote to Clancy
to be on bis guard and come to her
at once. Womanlike, she thought
that while with her no danger could
reach him. He received the letter,
and manlike thought it would not do
to leave his ranch as if in fear. The
judge who went to Sante Fe was old
enough to be, his grandfather. At
any other time Clancy would have
been only too glad to have gone to

New Mexico had ono, and his name
wua Billy Antrim. Had ho boon an
ancient Creek instead of bolng an
American, mythology would havo
made his cruel ferocity Immortal.
He was only a boy when he got his
first t*>sto of blood - . When death
overtook him he was but twenty-
- three, yet ho was known to have
killed more men than there wore
years in his age. All but his mother
rejoiced at his death as if a pesti
lence hud been staid.
There wnsanother woman, though,
that rejoiced to see his laxly foster
und swell and blacken. Still, tho
dead man had loved her, and she had
lived with him ns a wife lives with a
husband, yet it was not for jealousy
she killed him. Before sho had met
aim she had loved another man. His
unme was Charley Clancy. ,Ho was
foreman of tho H-B Cattle company,
on the Rio Grande, near Tulerosn.
Tho pooplo nlong tho river called it
the II lair B outfit. He, too, was a
young man just from the east, with
no more business to bo in Now Mex
ico at that time than a preuclior has
in purgatory.
When ho had first met the girl it
was in Las Cruces—that strange lit
tle town near tho Mexican lino
whose history runs back to tho Span
ish conquest. He was young and
green, und perhaps homesick, und it
was uot long before ho was in lovo
with this girl of alien race, for she
was a Mexican. Aftor that ho found
tho ranch more and moro lonesome
and Las Cruces moro and moro pleas
ant. Homo could not lnivo been
mote desirable. When a man is in
love and his love is returned by a
beautiful girl, with her presence any
placo is heaven. It was so in this
case, and Clancy’s visits to Las Cru
ces became very frequent.
One day while he wus tlioro thero
wns a prisoner brought into town
whose presoneo created moro oxcito-
mont than if ho had been the gov
ernor of the territory, for it wns this
man Billy Antrim. Every ono crowd
ed to seo the desperado, und with
them went Clancy, for no mun was
ever moro feared or moro noted for
his ferocity. So great wns tho terror
inspired by his deeds that when his
trial came there were few men who
would servo ns jurors. Among those
. who did serve wns Clinrley Clancy.
He was young and green, and they
mode him foreman of the jury.
When the girl—you need not know
her name, for it is that of a good
family, os good as your own per
haps, and besides she, too, is dead
now and it would avail you nothing
—well, when she learned this she
imnlored Clancy, in her terror, to
witnoraw, nut ne omy smnea at ner
fears and answered her tears with
kisses. She was a native of the coun
try and he a stranger, but, boylike,
he thought he knew it all.
When the trial was ended and the
death sentence imposed, for that was
the only verdict possible, Clancy re
tire girl at Las Cruces.
While he waited and debated when
it would do to go to her, one morn
ing there rode up to his door two
men, and one of them was Antrim.
When he saw them it was too late
for Clancy to attempt to arm him
self. All he could do was to answer
their questions and submit to becom
ing their prisoner. Tire men took
their lariats and tied him in front of
his door to a post, and then Antrim
told him that he intended to kill
him. Clancy knew the man too
well to ask for mercy. If he was to
be killed he would meet death like a
man. It was hard, though, to leave
the girl without one word of part
ing. If he hod only heeded her let
ter.
When he was tied so that he could
not move hand or foot, Antrim
walked oft twenty or thirty paces,
and drawing his revolver called
Clancy’s attention to his right wrist
and fired. Clancy could no longer
feel that below that wrist he had a
hand. When he tried to move his
fingers tho muscles seemed to have
grown suddenly numb.
Antrim laughed and asked him
what ho thought of such marksman
ship. The boy did not answer. A
now hope, though, had como into his
bronst. They would not kill him
outright, merely maim him, and with
the girl to help him he would uot
mind that. Any tiling but separation
from her.
Then Antrim spoke to him again
and fired, and tho same numb feoling
came into liis left hand below the
wrist, wliero he had felt the second
pistol ball crush through tho bone
and sinew. But ho did not wince.
Surely this man who looked bo boy
ish and innocent would be satisfied
with this much in revengo and now
show him mercy.
If Charley Clancy had not been
fresh from the east he would know
that this wns "pointing” a man to
death—an old motliod of torture
caught from thq Indians. But now
a white man was doing it. There
are but fow instances where white
wliito men lmvo tiled their hands at
it, though it is very simple. All that
there is to do is to shoot a man ns
many times as possible without kill
ing him, until you are tired of the
sport and willing that ho should die,
The first time it wns over tried by
by ono white man on another woo on
the Union Pacific railroad. They still
point out the station to you. It is
Julesburg. Clancy, though, was uot
long enough in tho west to have even
heard of it. Before tho duy wus done
he learned it all, though. Shot aftor
shot Antrim put into his nrniB and
legs until you could havo twisted
them like a pleco of rubber hose hi
any direction you desired. Between
tho shots ho and his companion would
smoke their cigarettes and rest and
divido tho plunder thoy had taken
from tho house. And Clancy would
faint with pain and weakness ns tho
hot sun boat down on him. Some
times lie would uot regain conscious
ness until Antrim had fired two or
three shots in succession into his
body. Ho never showed the white
feather, though, When he found out
that it was too Into to hope for life,
oven if the best surgeons in Christen
dom stood ready to cure for his
wounds, ho simply thought of the
girl and cursed in his scorn tho cow-
nrdico of tho man who wns murder
tog him.
Everything must havo an end,
though. So it is with “pointing."
When tho day had nearly passed
away and tho sun wns Binking in the
west, leaving the lonely house on
tho unbroken mesa in darkness, An
trim grow tired of the sport and told
Clancy so, and while telling it ho
emptied his revolver into the stomach
and bowels of tho man tied to tho
stake. Then he and his comrade
saddled their horses, and Clancy, dy
ing as he wns, wondered if they were
going to loave him to the night and
darkness, when tho coyotes, attract
ed by his blood, would como to con
tinue tho work that day had seen be
gun. His mind was still clear, and
when Antrim walked toward him
he tried to curse him for the coward
he wns, until Antrim, placing his
pistol against Clancy’s teeth, forced
the muzzle into his mouth and pulled
me trigger; and then the day s work
was over.
There was no concealment about
it. Every one in New Mexico knew
what Charley Clancy had died for,
but few men spoke of it above then-
breath. The judge who went to
Santa Fe staid there. No man cared
to meet Antrim. There was only one
officer in the territory who had the
courage to make the attempt to ap
prehend him, but so well did the
murderer conceal his movements
that it was impossible to follow him.
Reward after reward was offered,
yet no one cared to earn them.
all the girl did not break down as
most women would. People said
she was cold, though at evoning
she would come with her heads and
pray by the now made grave until
darkness came.
One day she was missing; no one
knew whither she had gon'e. Soon,
though, rumors returned that she
was in the different frontier towns
among the Americans as one of the
publio dancing girls. She was beau
tiful and had no lock of lovers. Bhe
seemed to be without fear, and no
matter how desperate the men with
whom her lot was cast, she never
quailed. The Americans called her
la leona—the lioness.
Where men squandered the money
gained by robbery and murder in
wild orgies, in which men fought
and killed each other like mad ani
mals, she was always cool and unex
cited. The wilder the crowd, tho
worse the men who composed it, ap-

patently tho more she enjoyed it.
Her 1
beauty was so groat that many
men, even among the Americans,
offered to make her a wifo, hut she
only smiled and refused all with a
gentleness that made them wonder
that one in her position could display
it When she was at the height of
her popularity she disappeared. No
one knew whither, although some
said she hod left to join a band of
desperadoes near the Arizona lino.
Wherever it was, nothing was soon
of her for months, and then ono day
she returned home, but only a
shadow of her former self. At first
her father would not permit her to
enter the house, while her mother
cried and embraced her os if bIio had
returned from the dead. Thon the
father, too, relented. Perhaps, ho
thought, it would after all be for but
a short time, and it would be better
that she should die at home than as
an outcast. Sho seemed impassive
and indifferent to all. When niglit
came sho went to the little grave
yard and prayed over the grave that
still was the newest.
, Wliero slio had spent the months
of her absence she never told. Tn
all questions sho gavo an ovasivo an
swer. It was said by some that hoi
return home was duo to the breaking
up and scattering by the
of the band of desperadoes w.tl
whom it was rumored she had con
sorted. Stung by tho rumor, her
mother had one day asked her to
deny it, but tho girl lmd only dropi>ed
her head on her mother’s breast and
sobbed ns sho had never done since
tho day she lmd seen Clancy A body
consigned to tho earth.
Sovernl times slio had received
messages, but from w’>om no one
knew. Even to her mother, who
alone spoke to hoi 1 , she declined . to
tell. Ono day slio received ono of
theso messages, and that night after
sho had gone to her lovor’u grave sho
went to tho houoo cf tho sheriff,
who was the only officer that duved
to follow Clancy’s murderer. When
she returned lie wns with her, mid
passing through the dimly lighted
patio she led him to her room and
placod him whore he could not be
seen in tho darkness, and then she
lay do\ .-n in her bed and waited in
tho darkness as the hoifrs ' passed
until there was a tap at the window.
The house wns so quiet that it soemed
to echo like a pistol shot, but sho
oroso, and going to tho window
opened it and let a man enter, who
threw his arms about her and kissed
her passionately and spoke regret
fully of the time thoy had been sepa
rated.
Tho room was very dark, and as
she led him from tho window toward
the bed where the other man crouch
ed hid sho could almost feel her henrt
beat. Tho man whoso arm was
around her waist noticed her trem
ble and drew her moro closely to
him. When thoy reached tho bed
sho drew herself gently from his arm
and lay down. Sho fancied that she
could hear tho man who was con
coaled breathing ns sho lay betwoon
him and the man who had just en
tered. Tho air of tho room soomed
to stifle her, ns if laden with death.
Then sho turned and spoke to tho
man who had entered, tolling him to
light a match, so that ho would not
mnko any noise by striking tho fur
niture, and when he demurred that
it might not be snfo she answered
him that as tho village was asleep no
ono could seo him. For a moment
ho hesitated, and then he struck n
match and tho tiny spark grew into
a maze, snowing tne room pinm unu
distinct. Only for an instant, though,
for then thero leaped out across tho
bed on which tho girl lay a jet of
fire, and the man who held the match
fell to the ground without n groan.
The air of tho room grew thick
with the smell of powder, and
through the house could be heard
voices calling in affright, but in the
room no one stirred or uttered a
word. The girl was wondering if
the man who liad fallen was dead
or only wounded, and the man who
had shot him remained quiet, fearing
that after all his shot might have
failed him. It was only when the
door of the room was opened from
without and the light showed a dead
outstretched figure on the ground
that he came forth, and then the
girl rose from the bed and gazed
