Argonauts
I A Tale of the Late Cal
ifornia. Gold Seekers
By JOHN L. TIBBITS
In the spring of 1849 a train of wag
ons outfitted at St. Joseph. Mo., cross
ed the Missouri and set out across tho
plains for Denver. One of these wag
ons contained the wife and two little
children a boy and a girl besides the
belongings, of Edward Starkweather.
At that time the native inhabitants of
the plains the Indians, the buffalo and
the prairie dog were in possession.
The Indians were ready to rob and
murder those weaker than themselves,
and this necessitated immigrants go
ing in company.
Starkweather had some money which
was concealed on his wife's person,
for as yet there was no law west of
"ARE TOtt BEADY V ASKED STARK
WEATHER. the Missouri river except the revolver.
His purpose was, having crossed the
continent, to grubstake himself and
his family on this money while he
prospected for gold.
In the train was a man about Stark
weather's age, Joel Bryant, who by his
smooth way of talking gained his fel
low adventurers' confidence. Men are
gregarious and prefer to work espe
cially to take risks in company, and
when Bryant told Starkweather that
he calculated to reach the gold ground
with $3.(100 it occurred to the latter
that they might pool their funds and
buy property in which gold had been
located, thereby greatly increasing
their chances of success. Starkweath
er agreed to the proposition, and the
Starkweathers toiled on over plain and
mountain, with brightened prospects.
On reaching their journey's end
the Starkweather family lived in a
tent while Starkweather and Bryant
prospected and kept an eye open for
localities where gold had been struck
In paying quantities. At last they
found an opportunity. Some men with
out means had secured a vein that
promised well and. being operators
rather than developers, were ready to
sell. Bryant was anxious that he and
Starkweather should buy them out
but he said his money had been sent
round the Horn to a San Francisco
bank, and it would require some time
to get it He begged Starkweather to
put up the necessary funds, and he
would produce his share as soon as
possible. Fearing to lose the purchase.
Starkweather bought the mine in be
half of Bryant and himself, share and
share alike.
The mine looked well, but there was
a hitch in the payment of . Bryant's
portion of the purchase money due to
his partner. Bryant showed a good
deal of impatience about its uonarriv
al and finally concluded to go to San
Francisco to discover what was the
trouble. Before leaving he spent some
time with a shyster lawyer, though
Starkweather knew nothing about this.
While Bryant was away the vein in
the mine began to produce gold in
largely paying quantities. Bryant was
absent several months, then returned
with a story that struck his partner
with consternation. '
He had learned that the parties who
had sold them the mine were not its
legal owners. The real title to the
property had been bought up by par
ties in San Francisco who had organ
ized a .company and appointed him
(Bryantr their agent He produced
the papers. Starkweather showed
them to a lawyer and was -Informed
that while they gave evidence of very
sharp practice. Starkweather's interest
in the property could only be substan
tiated (if at all at the end of a long
legal contest. The defraudedjnan was
advised to accept his loss, for, having
paid all his money for the mine, he
had none to carry on a suit which
would probably go against him in the
end. He surrendered to Bryant who
was really his own agent and owner
of the property under the name of the
Excelsior Gold Mining company.
Seve.-al years passed.- during . which
the sufferings of the Starkweather
firaily were. In proportion to the in
creasing prosperity of the Excelsior
Mining company. Bryant, who had
used Starkweather's money the story
of his own funds was a myth to buy
the mine waxed fat and sleek. He was
known and respected throughout the
gold region as a man prominent in the
development of the mining interests of
California. . Starkweather was pitied
as a poor devil who had neither busi
ness capacity nor luck; but. encouraged
by a plucky wife, he went to work on
the margin of a creek washing for gold
I I .1 - V
self siuil Ins f u mily alive.
Bui as he beard of the increasing
volume of gold that was being taken
out of the mine that was by rights his
own his heart grew harder and harder
toward the man who had swindled
him. Time and again he determined
to go and have it out with Bryant, but
each time he was soothed and dissuad
ed by his wife, who argued that either
he would kill Bryant or Bryant would
kill him. If he killed Bryant he would
be a murderer. He always gave way to
her. persuasions.
One day while Starkweather was out
prospecting -he found it necessary to
pass around the side or a cliff whpre
the trail was but fronf one to three
feet wide. Looking bead, be saw a
man coming. . Starkweather was in
rags. The other man was dressed in
an expensive mountain costume. - A
second glance told the former that the
latter was the de facto owner of the
Excelsior "mine. He had grown ro
tund and nbout him was an air of im
portance begotten by prosperity.
The meeting was one of contentment
and despair. Mrs. Starkweather was
not there to caution her husband and a
resolution flashed upon him to take at
least a slight revenge. He would force
the man who had ruined him and his
family to give way before him. There
was no part of the path between them
more than twenty-four inches wide.
Bryant, seeing a man such as he was
used to commanding .coming, did not
change his gait, expecting to be per
mitted to pass without trouble. Stark
weather stopped at the narrowest spot,
standing square in the trail. r
- "Step aside, my man." said'Bryant.
"You don't recognize me."
Bryant started. The voice first told
him who opposed his passage. Then
beneath a beard that had grown griz
zly under trouble the face of his for
mer partner revealed itself to his vis
ion. "Well ?" said the mine owner, not
knowing what was to follow.
"Turn about and go back."
"Why should I do that?"
"Because it is fitting that a rascal
should give way before the man he
has swindled."
Bryant was. frightened at being
caught with a precipice below him,
his way stopped by the man he had
defrauded, but made a desperate ef
fort to appear calm.
"My old and esteemed friend." con
tinued Starkweather, "I have often re
solved to take out of your hide re
venge for my ruin, but my patient
wife has always dissuaded me on the
ground that If I killed you I would be
a murderer. Here is an opportunity
for us to have it out together, neither
surviving to pass Into the hands of
the hangman. I propose that at a
given signal you may give it if you
like we draw and begin firing."
"I am unarmed," replied Bryant,
paling. "Having but a short distance
to go. I left my revolver behind me."
Starkweather took his weapon from
its holster and threw it over the cliff.
Some seconds after it reached the bot
tom the sound came up to them.
"Let It be a fight with fists." he
said, "or a wrestle with arms and
legs."
Bryant looked in Starkweather's eye
and saw there a resolution to- take his
revenge at the expense of his own
life.
"Are you ready?' asked Starkweath
er, advancing a step.
Had it not been for an Immutable
purpose, plainly written in Stark
weather's eye, his opponent might
have tried to argue with him or to de
ceive him by promises, but he saw
certain death for himself and the man
he had wronged.
"What do you wish me to do?"
"Fight"
"I mean what recompense for any
wrong I have done you do you wish?"
"Oh. I never thought of thatr
"I will agree." Bryant proceeded, "to
turn over to you some of my stock In
the Excelsior Mining company."
"It is not your stock; it is mine.
Come, let us begin the struggle. I
don't wish to take any advantage of
you while your mind is on another
matter."
"For heaven's sake, man! At the
slightest jar we will both go over the
cliff!"
"I have made up my mind to that"
"I will do anything you ask." -
"You will never get out of this fight
without acknowledging on paper how
you swindled me."
Bryant hesitated, then resorted to a
subterfuge. "1 have neither pen nor
paper." he said.
"I have both. In my pocket is a
nap of a region In which I am on the
way to prospect, and I have a pencil."
Taking both from his pocket, he add
ed. "Write a confession, and I will let
you pass without a fight"
Bryant knew that it was death or
surrender, so he wrote the confession.
That night when Starkweather went
home he showed the paper to his wife
and they were happy for the first time
since they had become argonauts. The
Excelsior mine was reorganized with
the controlling interest in the hands
of Its real owner.
An Ungratified Wish.
"I've always had an ungratified am
bition." remarked a well known local
business man.
"Konsense!" protested a friend.
"WLy. you are wealthy enough to
maintain a steam yacht" -
"Just the same, I have never had this
wish gratified."
"And what is It?"
"I have always wanted the magician
who comes down among the audience
to take his magic rabbit from my
pocket Sometimes be strikes a spec
tator near me. and I hnve always hoped
that he would eventually choose me.
But lie never has." Kansas City Jour

How We Breathe.
Men and women do not breathe alike.
In a woman the breathing is from the
thorax or chest while in a man It is
mainly-from the diaphragm, which is
lower down. This peculiar difference
Is so marked that it is possible to rec
ognize by it a woman disguised as a
man. although the disguise may be
faultless in other respects. Host physi
ologists say that this difference 13 not
due to sex, but owing to artificial con
ditions, such as- the wearing of cor
sets. "'- ; "
Naturally.

The Burden of Age.
I know of little tetter worth remem
bering as we grow old than what
pleased us while we were young. With
the memory of the kind words once
spoken come back the still kinder looks
of those who spoke them; and. better
than all. that early feeling of budding
manhood, when there was neither fear
no distrust Alas, these are the things,
and not weak eyes and tottering limbs,
which form the burden of old age. Oh.
if we could only go on believing, go on
trusting, go on "hoping to the last who
would shed tears for the bygone feats
of his youthful days, when the spirit
that evoked them lived young and vivid

KEEF IT TO YOURSELF
Do not whine.
Hold up your chin and keep youi
troubles to yourself.
Every one of us must carry bis pack
And In the carrying of it come strength
and self respect.
When you were a child you could go
to mother for sympathy and help, but
the time comes when you must shoul
der your burden alone.
Does the harness gall?
It is worse than folly to complain oi
It to your fellows. Each of them is
bending his back to his own load. Can
you expect any of them to lay down his
load and listen to your whining?
. If you go about retailing your griefs
with expectation of sympathy you will
experience only chagrin.
Of course if you fall down and really
hurt yourself, if you are a genuine ob
ject of pity, the world's heart will be
stirred in your behalf, and it will help
yon to the limit.
But
So long as the world sees that yon
are able to bear your pack it will ex
pect you to get under It.
Stand up like a man.
Some of us who are older can look
back over the way and remember how
we were tempted to "put up a pool
mouth" because of some" hard Jolt. We
buttoned up our white lips and shut
the hard luck story back.
Pluck and persistence and sweat
pulled us through.
Do not whine.
It is useless. The whiner gets no
where. And he becomes a nuisance.
He saps bis own strength by indulging
his grouch, and he saps others of tbeii
strength because of his iterated griev
ance. Hide your tale of woe.
Endure In silence Keep your own
counsel. Lean on yourself.' Gird up
your loins and keep a stiff upper Up.
There's heroism in doing that
NOT EXPENSIVE
Treatment at Hot Lake, Including medical attention, board and
baths, costs no more than you would pay to live at any first class

is owned in England has an interest
ing history. This remnrUuble picture,
which for some years consisted of a -painting
of flowers, was pronounced by
an art dealer to be merely a mask for
some other picture, and on his receiv

off the flowers, discovering underneath
a very fine portrait of Charles I. by
Van Dyck. It is supposed that the por

the golfing sire. "Lost?" said David.

A Man of Memory.
Sir Thomas Lawrence, who afterward
became president of the British Royal
academy, was not only one of the
greatest of English portrait painters,
but was in addition the possessor of a
marvelous memory. His father was
the landlord of the Bear inn. Devizes,
which was on the coach road to Bath,
and by the time "little Tommy" was
five years old he would say to the la
dies and gentlemen who stopped for
their meals at his inn: "Here's my son.
Will you have him recite from the po
ets or take your portraits?" This was
