THE SINGER S ALMS

And with his hat held as by limb the nest,

Tii<* sky wa< blue ab >ve. and all the lane

And many paused, and, listening, paused i

To hear tho voice that through and through i

I think the guardian angel helped along
That cry for pity woven in a song.
Th- singer stood l»etwce t the beggars there, I
Before a chunk, and overhead the spire
A slim, perpetual linger in th-, air

gathered up all the weapons before any
one was aroused. I was marched to the
main cabin, which was our dining room,
aid there found the rest of the people
' a-sem'iled and under guard. All had
! bee i aroused in the same manner, and
nobody had yet been hurt. ]t may well
: lx* imigined that we Were a disgusted
| lot oi citizen;; but wo had been fairly
[ trappe I. and there was no help for it.
; The captain had 'co.inted six outlaws,
two of wh in were in the skiff towing
the st amer. one al th > wh cl, and the
other Hue.- keeping guard.
We were towed down about five miles
and then up a bayou setting in from the
right-hand shore, and running back into
the swamp for it mile or more, d’hcre
was no current iu this b :you, and they ,
loivcd the steamer up such narrow chan
nels that we hear.l tl e bushes brushing
i aga list her sides. She finally came to a
■ stop and was made fast to the bank, and
; then th? outlaw who had b en acting as
; captain cam .■ into the cabin and said: |
“Now, thefi. a hore with you, and if
i any of you attempt to play us any trick,
ping! goes a b.rllei through your skull."
“Whit do you intend to do with us?”
' asked our captain.
“Ask no qued ong but come along,” ,
, was the stern reply.
1 We were covered by four or five re-
■ volvers, and t'.iere was no show for re
i sistance. Two of the outlaws prec?ded
us, and the other* brought up the rear as
■we marched ashore. AVc walked up the
f shore, which was very spongy for about
a hn idre l feet, and'were then turned
aboard of an old house boat. Tiiis < raft
was in such a dilapidated condition that
it was plain she had been there for two
or three years, and once inside we saw
that she find been med as the heidquar-
I ters of the gang. The cabin of the boat
' was one long room, with an old stove
and a few artjeleyof kitchen ware in one ,
corner. There were several old ehairk :
and a wreck of a table, and the gang had
■ slept on straw which had not been re,-
i newed for a year.
, Daylight was just bresiking as we filed
: into the hou-e boat, and we could now
i get a plainer view of our captors. If the.
toState of Arkansas held a more villianous
I gang w e never had the honor of an intro
' duction. I’hey looked more like wild
; beasts than men. and every other word
i that fell from their lips was an o tth. The
i house boat had once been provided with
i windows, bit now only the sashes re
mained. The boat was afloat, and tied
to trejs by grapevines. The captain \
of the oufhiws followed us aboard, and.
standing in the doorway, with a cocked
‘ revolver, he said:
“Make you selves at home, gentlemen:
and I want to say to you that any
nfiive t.i break out will result in some
i lxidy's getting killed.”
The door by which we had entered
i was the only door to the boat, the other ;
i having been stoutly closes] up. As the
outlaw withdrew he JaMteued the door,
; with n padlock, and we heard him moving
off in the direction of the steamer. Indigna
ption, disgust, and a feeling of revenge took
possession of us for the first hour. Then
the colored cook set to work to get us
' some breakfast, but it was little stock
we ha lon hand. There was a part of a
' bag of meal, a jug of molasses, and a few
pounils pt bacon; No one would eat be -1

truing toward a calamity. The enginewH
, remembered that the water iu the boiler
’ was very low, and as we watched the '
i fires increase we saw a cotnmotion among '
j the outlaws, Stftam was making so fast I
! that they had become alarmiHl. If they
I knew enough to try the water cocks, they
' did not uuderst ind how to start the pony ]
engine and renew the supply. Pretty
; soon steam began to eecane from the ,
■ safety valve with a loud whish, and then ‘
; the leader of the gang came running up !
to the house boat and eomauuded* the
i engineer to come out.
This action had been anticipated, and
• the engineer hud been posted as to his
'■ line of net Um. Me walked out and was
i ordered aboard tho Sprite to set things
;to rights. It did not take him long to
i understand that lionc of the gang knew
i how to run tho ougine. He drew the
i fires, and after the steam went down the
boiler was filled so full that no further ‘
1 effort could rsfcc a pound
of steam. He not only did
this while pixtending to put things ship
shape, but he, made it otherwise imimssi -
. ble for the Meaner to move herself out
■ of the bayou without a practical
. ecr aboard. When he had finished his
work the leader of the outlaw shad <nw
i thing to say to him. They had captured
the boat with the intefttioa of running
i her down j
I the tributaries to :» {aunt whew she could !
be sold. The idea was a foolish one, of
course, as a telegram Crum any piint on
the Arkansas would have put hundreds
on the watch. These outlaw s, however,
: seemed to think tluA if the Sprite could
i get a conph’ eg' days the fttart of us it
• would, be impossible for u." to overhaul
her again
The idea was to win the engineer
> over to join the gang, bnt he indignant
f ly spurned all pnqtostil*. He likewise
’ held out against threats, and this so a»-
j gered the outlaw kader that he drew* his
‘ HviMrcr ::ud fired full in tho man's face,
i The bullet struck the engineer's scalp
■ and plowed it up for six inches, and,
as the blood jh»u red ever his sac-o and he

1 away and left lum in the bushes, never
i doubting that lie had made a sun j<»b vs
r it. This was about 10 o'clock in the
I morning. The engineer wa> stunned fur
a qnMrter of an hour, but as his senses
■ came back to him he math no move
ments He had been taken down the
laink of the liayou several rods front the
r steamer, and was entirely out of sight un
; less he *l<xwl on his feet. While his
f w omul was a severe one, he determined to
. remain “dead” until the time came to get;
rxen.
The outlaws held another consultation
after the shooting, and again the tin's
I were / Iff el under the boiler. AU the
wood aboard was consumed by
the fellows went at it and gathered more.
By 2 o’clo k, however, they ga've up
all hopes of raising steam, and we heard
them <|uirreling in angry tones. Ti ev
bad ca igiit a t'art;ir. and seemed nnx
i.ius to k t go. About 3 o'clock it seemed
tostr.ke them that, if they could not get
away with the steamer, they ought at
le:i"t to rob u<, and we saw the vlioh
< rowd moving down on the lionst! boat
\Vhil< all had revolvers, t'icr.
'w'asro:. a Hfl’e among them. The two
they ba I ruptured from us were Henry's.
When the crowd retched oiir prison the
men formed on the bank and the captain
opened the door about an inch and called
out:
“Come, now, pass out your purses and
watches.”
“You show yonr nose inside and we'll
kill yon,” replied our enptnin.
Wc had found a coup eof "tout clubs
in the house, and these were in the hands
iof men on each side of the door. YVhile
their positions were sheltered any one
attempting to enter ivould find himself
in peril of his life. We were determined
neither to leave the shelter of the place
nor to allow any of t he oulaws to come in
,on us. They soon discovered that we

passions v.e-e aroused to the highest
pitch. They commanded and threatened,
and, finding this of no avail, ope icd tire
on the house. It was built of stout
planks, and so long as we kept'away from
the windows there was no danger from
their bullets. They inaintame 1 the fusil

bloo I soaking his clothes, and the
mosquitos biting him by the thousand,

abandoned the steamer to attack us.
: Then he c irefully worked his way aboard,
secured one of the Henry rifles, and crept
through the bushes until he had them
cut off from the swamp. Then he opened
fire, and his first bullet passed through
, and through the lender's body and struck
the ho i-o boat. Almost as fast as one
could count we heard the crack of his
] rifle. The villians were seemingly petri
fied with astonishment and terror. Not
a shot was fired in return, nor did aiHun
of them seek to escape. In three minutes
the last nrm wa ; down, and every one of
them dead as men can die. We couldn't,
of course, form any correct idea of what
was going on. having long before given
, th? engineer up for dead. He advanced
to where th? bodies were lying, counted
them to make sure that none had escaped,
and then came down and let us out. *
The affair was never investigated even
by a coroner. We gave the l»dies burial,
and when it became known that th*

which Helped Use Up
Ills Fortune.
j A gentleman, who is well posted on
; the subject, was talking to a Star re
; porter the,other day about the many pe
culiarities which gained for Mr. E. Berry
. Wall, of New York, the title of “the
! King of the Dudes.” Mr. Wall still
j wears his crown, although the money
that helped materially in acquiring it is
all gone, aqd royalty is now forced to
i live on the memories of tlje past, with
i the help of an indulgent and wealthy
mother. He still gits about all that an
ordinary man can want, but it
is said that the mother refuses to pay
any bills of the son contracted dur
ing tho height of his reign. “Wall isn't
:ibad fellow,”.said the gentleman with
whom the Star man was conversing.
: “There is nothing wicked about him. Ho
j has a heart as big as that table. But he
i is the biggest fool about dress that I ever
heard of. He never had any idea of tho
value of money. He never has found it
necessary to do a stroke of work, and ho

has been going it hard since he was fifteen
years old, and he is now barely twentv
five. He has a brother who was in Paris
t, c last time I heard of him. He is
alioiit as eccentric as Berry, but has never
attracted so much attention. His weak
ness is for pictures. He has so many that
he hasn’t room for them, and is continu
ally getting more. Good taste? No in
deed. He is ju tas apt to pay SI,OOO
lor a daub as for a gem. The father left
both boys wealthy when he died, and his
will gave both entire possession of their
inheritance when they became of age.”
“As everybody knows,” he continued.
“Berry Wall thinks more of clothes than
anything else in the world,and he posses
ses enough to open a first-class clothing
house. If he never gets another cent he
will be well dressed forth? remainder of
his life. He has, or rather had,one room
given up entirely to hi; clothes. A long

ning the back of his hand up a pile so as
;to get a glimpse of the colors, would
draw out a pair that suited his fancy. He
would hand them to his valet, and pro
ceed to select the rest of his outfit for

“Next t clothes,'’ went on the S(itr'»
