ety of the cettle men, their wivet end daugh
ters. A reciprocal attachment and strong ar-
feetion existed between him and Koto Hanley
and, inappropriate though it seemed, was too
firm to be uprooted.
Kate was aglrl of more than ordinary charms,
With a flashing black eye and an expression
which indicated great firmness and resolution.
Her father, n cattleman, had come to Colorado
from southwestern Missouri, whero he had a
local reputation of being a woodsman and hun
ter of no mean pretentions, besides having
been a union bushwhacker daring the war.
BkiUed in nil the arts of woodcraft and guer
rilla wsrfkre, he was a dead shot with- rifle or
revolver, and had early trained Kate until she
was equally proficient In their use. She had
alto become familiarized with the cattle busi
ness and frequently, in caw of the absence or
disability of her father, had “ridden the range”
and corralled horses or cattle with great dex
terity. The great respect accorded to women
In the west made this a perfectly safa transac
tion and gained for her a vory high degree of re
spect from tbo cowboys, who, from the netnre
of their calling, have a high regard for physi-
giving Aim the rein flew away at the height of
his speed.
Without a tremor and possessed only of the
great desire to reach her destination in time,
Kate sat in the saddle with a nerve as steady
as a cowboy on the “cut out,” but with all her
energies awakened to a superhuman activity,
which results to some natures from an intensi
ty of excitement which would cauw more ex
citable people to low control of their fiicultles,
presence or mind, or the capacity to act to ad
vantage In an emergency. On flew the horse
and the miles were left behind w rapidly that
Kate hardly knew their passage..

cal skill, coolness and bravery. Few men were
more expert In tholr horsemanship, and the
perfect freedom of the boundless plains at well
as the exhilaration of life in the saddle sur-
rounded the work with charms which sha
found difficulty In resisting, Whothor from
necessity orfer pleasure, every spare hour found
her on the been of the fleet-rooted, favorite
horse, sklmming|over the prairies, either alone
or with any girlwbow company she could se
cure.
At about the time that this story begins, it
hud been discovered that quite a number of
cattle bad been stolen from the range and re-
cently several hides had been found where
they had been burled by the slaughterers, but
no definite clue to tbs perpetrators bad bwu

ne-s and activity. Liquor had bass passed
around, and while no one was in the least in
toxicated, It will be safe enough to wy that
each were in a more aggressive than Judicial
frame of mind. It was nearly ten o'clock
when they arrived in sight of the lights of
Tommy Koberts’ cabin. A halt was at once
called by Halpin and the men ordered to hitch
their animals to tho cottonwood trees. After
naming their Winchester rifles and heavy
double-action revolvers and receiving direc
tions, they started as noiwleasly as possible for
the bouse.
Arriving near tbo hoow they discovered that
ithadfouroccupanta. Frank Warner—Roberta
partner and a young man—was playing a vio
lin. Old Tommy was dancing a clog for the
amusement of the boys, ana as his blood
warmed up and ho began to feel some of the
exhilaration of bis younger days, he called
out to Warner to “play a little faster.” With
a hoop he redoubled his energy, and Bill and
icr cowboy who was in the cabin were
ulsed with

onco surrounded, several Winchester rifles
pointed at each window and several men sim
ilarly armed stationed at each door. The hi
larity inside continued, andjust pa old Tommy
began a new step the doors flew open almost
simultaneously and a perfect thicket of Win
chesters and revolvers bristled through them.
“Hands up, Bill,” thundered John Halpin.
Almost instinctively, Warner, Itoberta and the
cowboy reached for tlier revolvers, but lielpfn
saw tbo move and roared out: "8hoot tho first
man who shows sny resistance, boys.” Then
In a lower voice he said: “You keep still and
J ou will not bo hurt; all wo want it Bill and to
avo you keep qnlot."

Of course, Bill's bands wont up at onco and
tho rest, as soon as they realised tho force with
which they were opposed, became non-resist
ant. They were willing and anxious to pro-
nation, however, which gave them to unc
stand that Bill bad done tho cattle stealing In
that vicinity, somewhat changed their svmpa-
thy. They could not rid themselves or somo
doubts, but knowing the tempor of tbo crowd,
pretended to bo as anxious as the rest to too
the work go on.
Bill was seized and piuloned and after the
party had taken a drink all around started
for the largest cottonwood tree in tho vicini
ty. The tree, upon which tradition said that
one cattle thief hail already been hung, was
situated In a deep ravine, surrounded by high,
sandy banks, wblch was reached by a single
narrow entrance. It was a large tree of its
kind and nearly three feet in diameter. As

swaggerlngly remarked, “ 11
them, and 1 will make the n
leu Uutn its months."
Blreago as It may seem, this thoughtlea
speech was reported and, notwithstanding
Bill's well known, whole soulod nature, round
many believers. Of course, the story nover
lost anything In its travels and it was soon
talked that Bill had made fell confession,
whlls drunk, and that ho had stolen all the
missing cattle. The news spread like wild Are
and the Indignation knew no bounds. The ex-
oiteaneot was at fever heat and men rods from
ranch to ranch and from camp to camp So dis
cuss tho matter. But littta confidence existed
in the regular organized courts of law, and
tho traditions of tho country still tkvored
prompt denting with criminals; Judge I.ynch
was oftener appealed to than the district court
In matters of horse and rattle stealing, henoc,
whenever this story was repeated to one of
these t'oloradlana, the invariable exclamation
that followed was, "A good lariat and ootton-
wood tree are about the best things to cure
him.”
In the meantime, Bill, who was unaware of
tho commotion that his thoughtless remark
had reused, had gone back to his work and was
riding tho range in the interest of bis employ
er. One night not long alter, he stayed at tho
cow camp or old Tommy Boberts and had ar
ranged to return uid stay the next nlglit. This
became known to the rattle men over tho "ill
vide" and It was decided to hold a session of
Judge Lynch's court that night for the purpose
of visiting tho Robert's camp and giving Bill a
trial. This information was withheld from
the people at tho Roberts camp, as well as from
Mr. Hanley. There was a feeling, that on ac
count of the attachment existing between Bill
and Kate, there might be too much sympathy
In that quarter to gel any aid for Judgo
Lynch's posse. It also occurred that the In
formation might ho convoyed to BUI end tholr
plain frustrated.

did tba party dare lo congregate and then
about forty armed cattle men assembled and
commenced their ride from tbo settlement on

range, or any other, end that I never received

“Have you any wltnemco?" said tho court to
Halpin.
“Yea,’’ said he; “threo of them.”
Tho first man testified to having found skins

that vicinity, and tha third that he had heard

ho answered that there was plenty that ho

stead no show there. Furthermore, he never
stole sny entile and what he aald In the saloon
was when ho was drunk and merely In fun.
This very weak explanation, as It was consid
ered, was received with n derisive laugh, and
the court addressing tho Jury, wblch was
compoaed of tho whole party, arid: "Gentle-
men of the jury, you have hoard tho ovldonco,

This was not noticed, however, or they
might have been pat oss trial, too. bat some
how or other they had become impressed with
the idea that Bill was not receiving exactly
fair play.
Turning to Rill, tha court said, “Prisoner,
you have been tried end found guilty of cattle
stealing, and the sentence of this court U that
you be hung from a limb of this cottonwood
tree until you are dead, and your body left

Then, addressing the rrowd, he asked, "Have
any uf you got a lariat with you?" One offl-
eiors individual immediately stepped forward
with the rope, and after trying two or three
limes, succeeded in throwing it over a limb
of the tree, after which several men ware en
gaged in adjusting the nooac to Dill's neck.
Just at thia moment tho attention of the
l^tr was attracted l,y a foaming bona with
distended nostrils which dashed up to tha en
trance to the ravine, from the back of which a
female figure alighted at abound and
advanced with n dashing eye,

many thoughts of banditti, rand ngantaand
other pet horrors with which the youthful
Imagination had been fired. But to poor Bill
tbo study was an unsatisfactory one. Ashe
glanced from face to fare, not n ray of hopo
was shed by n single sympathising glance.
Fierce hatred and maUolotu Indignation was
reflected hack from each end hopo was well

no chance for tho exhibition of bravery.
Arrived at the tree, John Hatpin acted at
prosecutor. John nominated Joke Harmon,
shother rattle owner, who was chosen '
and BUI was at onco arraigned, John '

continned: "If after a fair and impartial in
vestigation Bill shall bo found guilty, let him

innocent, aa he may be, lor anything you
know, I will save you tho reaponaibility of

more than suspect screen the guilty ones, who
may be In this crowd. Until ho has a fair trial,
the tint man who attempts to harm so murk as
n hair of his head, will be a dead man, or first
pass over my dead body.” There was n mur
mur all through tho crowd of “No dangor of
that.” “We will ace to that,” etc., but Kata
did not bear It. Addressing herself to Frank
Warner, the said, “Frank, take your knife and
cut that lariat off from his neck and those
cords from his hands. Don t you untie o singlo
knot, but cut them, so as lo express my con
tempt for tho man who placed them there.
Perhaps the loss of a valuable horso heir lariat
may make him a little more cautious how ho
places another around an innocent man's neck;
if not, tho courts may teach him caution.”
Frank, who had noted tho ebango in the
sentiments of tho crowd, had no hositstiou in
doing so as ho was hid, and sprang forward
with alacrity. Kite then said: “Bill, take
uy hone, ride him to tho grove where the
hones are tied, select the best none In the lot,
ride for your life to Trinidad, surrondor your
self tothe sheriff, and await tbo course of tho
law. Not a man shall leave this ravine for two
houra. and in that time you will be safe from
molestation,"
Bill did as he was told,aud in a sort of dazed
way the crowd watched his departure until he
was out of sight. After somo momenta old
Tommy Roberts, who was near to Kate, raised
his bat and said: “Reg pardon, Misa Kate, I
would like to address the men.” Thou, turn
ing to tho crowd, ho began: “Gentlemen,
thoush an old man, I have nover married nor
known tho comforta and joys of a homo, but
no ono respects and admires femalo grace, pu
rity and courage more than I, and I think
Miss Ksle is possessed of all of them, and has

Kite nos shown you, you wore making a very
poor Job of it. Now I propose that you give
her tho nssuraiicra of gentlemen that no harm
to Bill ahall be attempted, that you will assist
in ferreting out the guilty parties, escort her

A hearty and unanimous ”ayo,.aye,” was
tho response, but some ono notieod that Har

Investigation by tho detectives of the “Cat
tle Growers’ association” showed that BUI was
entirely Innocent, but fastened the guilt so un-
mlstakeably on Jsko Harmon and John Hal
pin that their arrest followed. 0a tho day sot
for tho trial tbo whole population of the local
ity of thia occurrence was present. The prose
cutor, in an eloquent and well worded speech,
asked for tho release of Bill. Ho mentioned
tho bravery of Kata and also tho duplicity of
Harmon and Halpin. Three two worthies, on
bring arraigned, ploeded guilty, knowing how
strong the esse wos against thorn and hrping
for leniency. The jndge, without limitation,
sentenced them to tho full oxtent of tho law,
and then with a twinkle in
bis eye, sold that the next moot
appropriota thing that he could do would bo
to marry Misa Kata to the man for whom oho
had performed such a heroic service. Tho
sheriff, upon csnvssoing among tho crowd,
found tho aentiment so strong that ho was
able to persuade Kata and Bifl to allow !tho
ceremony to bo performed by tho pouri. The
official dignity of tbo judge oo Hr relaxed that
he did not seek to repress a cheer which greeted
this consummation.
A lawyer present rooe and asked tbs judge
by what right he performed this ceremony
end established such a. precedent.
“By on Inherent right,” good liumoredly
replied ho, and more seriously he coutlnuod,
“my only regret is that I have not as good a
right to hong there two reprobates, who would
