We were all satisfied that the horse had been stolen, and all, especially John, were angry. To steal a horse in that country, where a man’s comfort and often his life depended upon his being well mounted, is considered a cap ital crime. Had the thief fallen into our hands, he would have met with bat little mercy. Bat the third morning after Rob’s disappearance we heard bis familiar whinny as he led np the- band, as usual, for his morning ra tion. Though, 03 John used to say he could “do everything but talk, we never could find out where he had been during his three'days’ absence, or how he managed to get back. About a week afterward it be came necessary for John to go to Animas City to replenish our stock of food; bat oa the evening before he was to start, in driving np the horses, “Brimstone,” a vicious broncho, aimed a kick at him which, striking Hie knee, so disa bled him that he could not sit in the saddle without great discom fort, and it was decided that I must make the trip in his place. I was a stranger In.that country, as I have said, hut the trail was an easy one to follow, and I started early in the morning, riding “Rob” and leading one of theother horses upon which to pack the supplies. John had a fine, new aparejo, or pafck-saddle, in Animas, which I was to get and use on the return journey, so I took none with me.' I was to stop at Parrott City over night, ride down to Animas, my purchases, return to Parrott, stay there the second night, and then return to the camp. I reached Parrott, and as I rode down the one street of the citv, I noticed that I seemed to be an ob ject of interest to every cue I met —all men, for th ere was hot a wo man or*child at that time in the place, except the old French land lady of the “Miners’ Rest” Every one whom I met would stop, look at me, at the horses, and, turning, gaze after me as I kept on toward the hotel They began to collectin groups and follow Ins as Irodealong. Why should I thus be the “cynosure of every eye” I could not at first imagine. I was neither so handsome nor so ugly as to attract especial attention, and surely the presence of a stranger was not so uncommon a thing in that part of the country as tfiTig to excito a whole community. Final ly, I decided that it must be the horses, feu: Both “Rob? and drew near and addressed me. “Stranger, I’d like to ask you a few questions,” he said, gravely. “All right, drive on!” I answer ed curtly, for I was beginning to grow angry at what I considered the impertinent attention of which I was the object. “What might your name be?” “It might be Smith,” I replied derisively. “And where might yon be from?” “China. “Where did yon get that horse you’re riding?” ‘Stole him, of course,” abruptly. Reckon you did; but you’re pret ty cheeky to acknowledge it. I’m the sheriff of this county, and will have to ask you to come with me.” Come with you? Where? What do you mean ?’ T mean I’U have to arrest you till this matter is settled.” Arrest me! What matter?” I gasped, thoroughly taken aback. “Till you can prove how you came that horse.” “What do you mean? Yen don’t take me for a horse thief, do you?” “That’s just it;so come alon “Pshaw!” broke in another of the committee. “What’s the use talk ing; ham’t he split on himsetf and ’knowledged that he stole him?” “Bat, gentlemen,” I spoke up, alarmed, tor matters seemed to be growing serious, “it’s all a mistake, the horse is mine, or at least my brother’s.” Mebbe your brother's name is Smith, too,” queried one of the committee, sarcastically. “The way of it is just this, broke in the sheriff. “One of these horses you have here, I think, is -John Percy’s riding horse, and when I was over on the Mancos about a week ago he told ms he’d Been stolen—” Yes,” I interrupted eagerly, “so he was,bat he came back next day.” That’s too thin!” growled one of the others, while the sheriff went on: “And I promised to keep a lookout for him. Yon may be his brother, as you say,” he added doubtfully, “but I’ve known him for ten years, and never knew he had a brother. Besides, you aBd he don’t favor each other much.” That was true; two brothers were never probably more unlike in per sonal appearance than John and L . . - _ - , s They have want-j they’ll J mie, and not a tow mentally fe. - \ ed it to be a great success because!

But even if he is, I’m the sheriff of the county, and it’s my plsee to see that he has a fair trial. Come, now, boys,"I don’t want any fuss, but you can’t have this man!” and each word fell with a slow, ringing de termination in the -accent which showed the mettle of the man. The crowd evidently knew that he was determined, for no one stirred, and there was dead silence for a min- ute, till some one in the rear call ed out: “What ye feared of?

As soon as we were out of the crowd and away from the hotel, he said to me: “Lneky for you'I was owl. It was answered from the road, and we stepped out as Jim came clattering np, riding “Rob” and leading the mare. “They saw me,” Jim gasped out breathlessly, “just as I was getting out of the corral, and hollered to me to stop.

Lee agreed, and we were soon hammering at the hotel door, ! which was opened by the yawning landlord, half-dressed, and with a lamp in his hand. “Hullo, Sheriff! That, yon? What you doing here at this time o’night?” he drawled out “Do you know this man, Cum mings?” asked Lee. “I—ah!—let me see,” said the sleepy landlord, holding up the lamp. “I—no—yes; it’s Mr. Percy, brother of John Perev,of Silver tom - “Sure of it?” “Well, John introduced me to him as his brother, and I reckon : he ought to know.” eating, or wine drinking, or teeto-j 0 £ the Democratic party. talism, or smoking, and so on. But we submit that that shows want of real mental capacity. For what, after all, fo the true import ance of the subject? Does it not consist in the undoubted character of the results? The results are really the things to be considered. As a matter of fact tlie Qnakers are successful in life. As a matter of fact they do live long.
