“Ab was a fair player, but I was
fresh from Chicago, and up to all
the dodges of a professional; and
gradually I pocketed all the loose
change that he could rake and
scrape; until finally, I got him
down to bedrock, and had to hold
up until Uncle Dick paid him his
next quarter’s salary. Then I ful
ly intended to wade in and gobble
the entire hundred and fifty, and
pull back for civilization.”
“It was a pretty scheme, bat
somehow it failed to work Ab
Skninner was doing a little schem
ing at the same time, and his brain
was clearer than mine.
“A week before pay-day, he
went over to the ‘circle bar’ ranch
and when he came back I saw that
he had been drinking,-and was as
happy as a wolf in a sheep-pen;
but he simmered down again, and
so things rocked on for a few days
longer.
“We had just moved our cattle
in from the upper range and
throwed ’em in on a little valley
west of the shanty, where not a
blade of grass had been nipped all
summer long, and there they were
feeding—four thousand head of
’em; and as wild a lot as ever waved
a horn in a stampede. One day,
about noon, as Uncle Dick was
coming in from town, the whole
herd lit right out after Him, crip
pled his horse, and nearly scared
the old man to death.
“‘Them cattle are terros/ he
said, as he slid. off his horse,
and spread himself out on the ve
randa, where Ab and I were talk
ing to the Deputy Sheriff, who was
down looking up some stolen
stock—‘I thought ol’ Die’
a gone coon, sure.’
“ ‘They didn’t like your looks,’
said Ab with a laugh. ‘You couldn’t
git ’em to run a genuine cowboy.
Ill bet I could walk clean across
to that knot yander/ and he indi
cated a little hill entirely beyond
the herd; ‘walk over, understand,
afoot, and alone, and never get a
scratch from a horn or hoof.'
“ ‘I would like to bet you some
thing on that,’ said I; and I had
hardly spoken the words before
Ab drew a buckskin bag from his
pocket, and shook out a pile of sil
ver and gold
‘“There is fifty dollars/ said he.
‘If you want to make some money
easy here’s your chance. The
Sheriff.will hold the stakes.’
“Fifty dollars was just the size
of my pile, and Ab'knew it. I
was positive that if Skinner made
a break out in that prairie, one of
them old Spanish steers would run
him down in three minutes; but
still I hesitated.
“ ‘Stick to him Charlev/ said
Uncle Dick: ‘the dad-bJamed tool
will be killed, but that ain’t your
lookout If you don’t bet I will!’
“1 went over and handed Sheriff
Smith the money, and as he put it
in his hat along with Ab’s fifty,
the old man chipped in Again
“ ‘Bein’ as you’re throwiu’ away
your money, Ab, why not give me
some of it?. Thar’s that hundred
an dfifty I was goin’ to pay you to
night—suppose I put it.into the
hat with as much more, an’ if you
get through to the knot, Smith
kutride ever an’ give you the BpU
wad.’ ~
‘“Good enuff/ replied Ab, and
old
a second
and then another, and another, un
til there was a .wall of white horns,
fifty yards long, barring Ab’s road
to the mound, and hundreds of
cattle coming in every direction to
take a hand in the frolic. A man
afoot was a cariosity to them, with
which they were evidently bound
to become acquainted, if possible.
“ ‘They’ll kill him in a holy min-
nit/ muttered Uncle Dick Scho
field. ‘It’ll be another sad gath
erin’ of friends around the cigar
box that holds his remains. I tell
yer Smith, human life is ter’ble
uusartin.’
“ ‘Ab Skinner’s haint,’ replied
the Sheriff. ‘He’s the luckiest
feller in forty-three States. I
don’t see how he’s going ter make
it, but he’ll come out somehow.’
Just then we saw Skinner stop
and put his hand in his pocket.
He had approached within sixty
yards of the herd, and every hoof
was watching him, with a general
head shaking and bellowing, that
would have frightened a common
man into fits.
“ ‘He’s gittin 1 his gun/ said un
cle. ‘Mebby he thinks he Mn bluff
’em with a little shootin’, but he’ll
miss it, an’ if he Mn Mil two hun
dred dollars worth at six dollars a
head, I’ll try ter stand it.’
“But Ab did not intend to shoot.
He had dropped down: out of sight
in the tail grass, and as we. were
wondering what it all meant, we
saw a tongue or flame leap up in
the air, and rapidly spread, with
the wind fanning it in the direc
tion of the cattle at race-horse
speed. Then the bellowing and
scraping ceased; the wall of gleam
ing horns fronted iu the other di
rection, and the whole herd made
a break for the bare hills, while Ab
stepped in the blaze and followed.
“The smoke settled in the little
valley and hid everything from
view, and L for one, was quite sat
isfied that it should be so. There
was no danger to be apprehended
from the fire—for the ranch was
protected by a stream that the
blaze could not cross with the
wind against it—but I knew.
my fifty dollars was gone, and I
felt as sour as vinegar. *
Unde was feeling no better.
He seemed to be paralyzed, and
never made about the fire ruining
Ms range; and when three pistol
shots from the knot notified us
that Skinner had got through, he
looked as though he had been sen
tenced to the ‘pen’ for life.
“The money is Ab Skinner’s’
said Smith, and we knew if we
Mcked we would have the Sheriff
to kill, and not only him, but all
four of his brothers; and they were
all bad men.
‘Tell him not to come back;’
said uncle, savagely, as Smith got
on his horse, to deliver the stakes
according to agreement. ‘Ab is a
good fellow, but he is too allfired
smart. He would own the raneh
in less’n a week.”
“So! Dot yos der vay of it,” put
in Dutch John, soberly. “He gets
your money already, eh! Dot vos
goot—I vos glad of dot”
“And that wasn’t the worst of

“‘It’s the- worst place in the

me. ‘A man’s life would be in
danger there if he had on a suit of
b’iler iron.! I agreed with him,
but Ab turned up his nose and
laughed.
“ ‘They know who to fool with

worst kind of bluffs—the hull

could go down an’ cuss the hull

“Uncle Dick nudged me with his
elbow and grinned. ‘You’re gass-

but it takes money to back it’

might be there, from the bar keep

killed, or wounded in the least, the
whole sum went to uncle and me.
I invested every dollar I had, and
the old man covered the rest of
Ab’s money, some two hundred
dollars,
“Smith took'a stand next door
to the saloon where he could see
the fun; and uncle and I went in
side, and getting beMnd some
wMskey barrels, out of range of
the door, waited for Ab to show
up. There was a big crowd in the
‘Golden Spur—fortyjat least; and
all of them howling drunk. Ev
ery man sported a revolver, and
some of them, two, and there was
a dozen Winchesters stacked in
the corner.
“ ‘I reckon we’ll get even with
SMnner this time/ said I, and
Uncle Dick was so ticMed with the
prospect that he set np the drinks
all around.
“Just as the glasses were filled,
I heard the tramp of hoofs out
side, and a horse’s head was stuck
in at the door; over it and beyond,
I caught a glimpse of Ab SMnner
and a big double-barrelled shot
gun.
“ ‘You know me/ he yelled. ‘I
am Ab SMnner—a white man and
a gentlemen—and too good to im'i

throats that hang aronnd this

“Yes, they heard him. Six-
shooters gleamed all over the
room. - The proprietor leaped over
the bar with Sharp’s carbine in
his hand, and Uncle and I hugged
the whiskey barrel closer than
ever.
“Then two shots were fired—the
two barrels of Ab’s gun—»in quick
succession, and, as the smoke filled
the room, it seemed to me that my
eyes had been tom from head, and

em men who are now at work to
bring about this result is Mr. E.
H Ferguson, of Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.
Ferguson claims that the the south
ern race problem and the northern
labor problem will be settled by
this movement. In his own city of
Buffalo 3,000 good workmen are
out of employment. They have
no future before them, and will be
driven into pauperism or crime.
Mr. Ferguson has an idea that
Georgia and South Carolina offer
splendid opportunities to industri

that if a few men in these two
states would put §50,000 into an
immigration company 30,000 New
Yorkers could be settled in fMs re
gion in the next eighteen months,
besides 5,000 families from Scot
land.
Of coarse it is not proposed to
dump a lot of helpless and idle
paupers upon us. The scheme is to
establish colonies of small farmers
on our cheap lands, with just
enough assistance to give them a
fair start in maMng a crop.
Doubtless an organized move
ment, carefully guarded and well
backed in the shape of eapilal

however, it is proper to say that the
north is more interested than the
'south in putting up the capital for
such a project. The northern la_

the south has no inducement what

“In this grand development,
every negro will be needed. That
immense population of laborers
will constitute the foundation of a
prosperity beyond the dreams of
avarice.”
The Herald seems to be arguing
from the presumption that the
South would bring about a forcible
deportation of the negro race. The
Herald and all northern papers
that argue on that line are simply
mistaken. The south knows the
negro, his traits and his character,
better than their northern friends
The sonth, too, knows the negro’s
worth and adaptability as a laborer,
far better than their northern
friends who know the negro only
from afar. And knowing these,

more priviledges conducive to his
well being, and more kindness than
he will receive in any other section

Page County Courier published an
account of a hen there angrily fly

one of his teeth. George E. Heath, j
who lives in Hanover county, states
that on Saturday morning he went
to his hennery and attempted to
take a-hen off her roost, when she
flew at his face, pecked him in his
mouth, and took out a tooth which
had been troubling Mr. Heath for
some time, and which he intended
having extracted. This is the sec
