This horsfiimn was ???Wild Frank* Tower, an old friend nnd fellow scout and one of the best-knowi), honest, most reckless, dare devil rangers on the southwestern frontier Tower was born in Iowa, and when ho cam?? to Texas fifteen years ago was a boy of seven teen. llo found employment at a cow-rancho on the Pecos river nnd the wild, rough life ho led in camp and on the trail hardened his muscles, steadied liis nerves and developed all of those courageous qualities which distinguish the frontiersman. He became a superb horse man and wonderfully skilled in the use of the aix-shooter and Winchester. The ranebe ad joining the one where he was employed was owned by a man named Flanigan, a Jiot-lcm- ptred, brutal fellow, brave as a lion nud the hero of many scrapes in which firearms had played on important part. He had killed several men and was feared nnd respected accordingly. Wild Frank met Flanigan at a ???round up." They became iavoivod in n quarrel over the ownership of n cow. Tower was cool and polite, but as firm in the main tenance of his rights ns adamant. Flanigan, ???reustomed to ride down all opposition, ap plied an insulting epithet to the boy who dared to dispute with him nud, seizing his heavy riding- whip, sprang toward him. ???I'll aive ye a hundred lashes, yu spindle- r-hmkcu puppy," he hissed. THItARIIINO A BVI.I.Y. The cow-boys glanced at each other appre hensively nnu Frank's friends, not daring to interfere, to much did they f ar Flanigan, trembled for their companion???s safety. The object of the bully???s wrath faced the ruffian coolly. ???Don???t touch me!" he cried wnrningly, but Flanigan, with a bitter oath, sprang upon the lx>v and setting him by the collar was about to ad m in later the threatened rlmstisemont. Accounts ditler as to how it all occurred. The/e was a chorus of curses nnd loud crlci, a .fierce struggle, the on-looker* heard tbo awi b-??wi*h of the runrtc, and, through the cloud of durt which enveloped the combatants, aaw Flanigan writhing on the ground, while Frank, wielding the whip with n quick nnd heavy Laid, rained blow afl< r blow' on the bully's load and taco. The nhfiro lash cut the firth like ????? knife and the blood streamed from many woundi, and, mixing with the choking dust, blinded the prodrato man???s tyit. Several tltnt* he tnd^avevcd to regain Lis feet, but he never succeeded, and when nt last, weak from pain and loss of blood, he fainted, Wild Frank throw the Moody whip to the ground nnd, mounting his horse, rode away. The whole affair had been so Buddon and unexpected and had resulted so different- ly from wliat the spectators imagined that the boy had disappeared bohindn roll in the plain before the astonished cow-boys recovered their semes. They raised tho uneouseloun bully tip, washed away tho blood nnd poured xvtiisky dow n his throat, llo recovered sufficiently to be assisted back to bis rancho, and when a wcclc later ho was able to leave hit tied he swore ft big oath and vowed to have Wild Frank's life. Intelligence of Flanigan's pur port was brought to Frank. Ho made no counter-threat, hut thore tvosn peculiar gleam in his eyes which led his informant to believe that tho boy would be roady. About two weeks later, at another rancho, the two again mot. Beth were ?? ounted. and drawing his Win Chester fr< m itn scabbard Frank spurred hii horse toward the bully nnd shouted; ???Look out, Flanigan!" ??? A mi?? l. OX HORSRtlACR, The rRnrheuinn raised his rifle, with a wick ed light in his small gray eyes. Both fired nt the eatno time and, still pressing forward, discharged their Winchesters in rapid suc cession. Flanigan pitched from hfs saddle with three bullets in his body nnd, satisfied that hi* enemy wn*dead, Wild Frank rod?? to the nearest rungcr eniiip and surrendered to the commanding officer. I???ublic opinion on the frontier has a great influence in a court of law end Wild Frank was acquitted. Tho ranger captain hud taken a fancy to tho boy and lie urged him to tacom?? a scout. Accord ingly he enlisted in B company, of tho front ier battnlion, and reiuniueu in tho command several years, it was a company of bravo men, but none were braver than Wild Frank. With a perfect dit regard for his own safety lie wns always in tho trout when dangerous work was to le done nnd many times risked his lilo in defer.ms ot u tvllow scout. Oqo morning Cap- tmu dune l'rake, the ranger commander, informed his meit at roll-call that ho had a }*ack??g?? of important papers which ho wished to send to fiergeant Floyd, who was in com mand of a detachment of th'e scouts stationed 1H?? miles distant, on the edge of tho Crest Prison plain. The country was full of ludinns nnd the mission was a dangerous one. The captain asked tor a volunteer to mnko tho hsxnrdeus ride and deliver the papers. ???I???m your man, raptnin," quickly answered Wild Frank, a* he stepped from tho rauks. ???When shall I start??????? ???ItunudinUly,??? wns the answer; and when, i n hour lafor, in?? scout rode out of entnp his companions bade him ndios with saddeoed facet and Uotul ling voices. ???He will never make the trip.??? they said.

Next morning, fortified by a good camp breakfast, the two men *ct out to hunt, leaving Johnny in charge of the ani mals. This trust ho fulfilled by letting the burro stray homeward. baggixo A dark object was soon sighted moving across the plateau towards the peak. As it approached it proved to be a real, live bear.

There two huge rock? had fallen together, forming a rude cave, shallow and very wide at the en trance.

"Teu years ogo Carl Bock, the author of The Man Hunter* of Borneo??? and ???

In the court of th?? king of Burmah he saw and talked with a hairy family, which was kept by th?? king lor his amusement ns European kings formerly kept fools and dwarfs. Pock tried in every way to secure them to take to Euro??*e, but he failed. He offered lloo.fto*? f r oi!e of them, but money is r.o object there: they have more of it than they auow what to do with.

Wo saw many ol their huts built up in the branches of trees before we taw a per son. At last we surprised and surrounded a family, a men, wife nud child, at their meat. We made a dash for them aud captured them. The Parent* made little resistance, but the cbila foaght, scratched and bit like a mon key. None of them were clothed in anything hut hair. We took them lo Kjang-Kjang ftv.il there the king refused to allow the* woman to go out of tho country. He had a supersti tion that it would bring him bad luck. *he was kept in his court ond treated with high consideration. She appeared to have little a flection for the child end made no opposition to its being taken from her. We started for Bangkok with the father and child.

It was a dark, deon dungeon far down under the ground.

Oh! if he had only some hope???someone thing to relieve his misery. Feeling nil over his coat one day he found four pins, and he ac tually wept for joy; yet what could four pins bo to him ? He took them from his coat and threw them down on the floor of his dungeon, and then ho went down ou his hands and knees and felt nil ox-er tho floor till ho found them again. When ho had ??uceeoded in this ho scattered thorn again on tho floor, and could have gone into his dungeon you would t> found him groping on his haodi nnd knees lor his four pin*.
