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/’ went on Charley. “If the matter had stopped there I would not have minded it so much.

I agreed with him, but Ab turned up his nose and laughed. “ ‘They know who to fool with down thar/ he said. They’re the worst kind of bluffs—the hull crowd of ’em. Why, I’ll bet I could go down an’ cuss the hull crowd, and get away without a scratch.’ “Uncle Dick nudged me with his elbow and grinned. ‘You’re gass- in/ Ab/ he said. Talk’s cheap, but it takes money to back it’ “‘I’ve got it/ replied SMnner. ‘“Put it np then/ said Uncle, ‘or.hush.’ “ ‘I saw Sheriff Smith in town/ said L ‘Suppose we get him to hold the money.’ “The proposition suited the others, and we found our man and stated the case. Ab was to go to the ‘Golden Spur/ ard deliberate ly insult the whole crowd that might be there, from the bar keep er down. If he got away unharm ed, the money was his; if ha was 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 with the drunken, cowardly cut throats that hang aronnd this ranch. Do you hear me ? “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 I had swallowed a bushel of fire.

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 ous immigrants, and he believe g 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 would work wonders. Eight here, 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_ bor question is a more serious one than onr alleged race problem, and the south has no inducement what ever in contributing the funds to relieve the congestion of labor in the north.

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.

Every industrious negro, that re spects authority, obeys the law, meets its demands, and moves in proper bounds, finds in the south an open field for himselE and as true white friends as he will find upon the globe.

A weak man may excite their sym pathy, and a woman’s careful ten derness to soothe and soften the angaish of a weak man’s soul, but the laughing, joyons, warm, exu berant love of women dear, belongs to the men that are strong and - noble and kind. Then why will a man continue weak, and mean, and peevish? An old gentleman writes: “B. B. B. gives me new life and strength. If there is anything that will make an old man young, it is B. B.
