I.U' nilhp lositluiiH couie from va rious sources, go iniiny source that it is dilllcult to mention or classify tnetn. Ami yet how hurd it is for a boy, un aided nnd often eveu with every od vuntagc, to grow into one of them. Trunk ltUHhnell was obliged to go to work when ho wits but twelve years old. Ills education therefore was not of the best, and, having no one to help him oil but himself, be progressed slowly, or, rather, he didn't progress at all. lie sold papers on a railroad, then became a brakeman and when he wns uearly thirty years old bad got uo further up the ladder than baggage agent at a small way station at a sal ary of $30 a mouth. Frank while hunting up a lost trunk went one day into the general offices of the company. There be saw the sleek, well groomed officials with pol ished fingernails and clean shaved faces. One who sat at a mahogany desk and tapped a bell occasionally for a boy to do his work may have been getting from $3,000 to $50,000 a year, while Frank for tiring himself out handling heavy trunks got less than $100. It made him desperate. He went back to his station and wrote a letter applying for a better position. The official who received it was about to throw it Into the wastebas ket when he remembered a station In the center of a desolate section of the roud where the Inhabitants who used the railroad habitually Intimidated the ticket agent, securing tickets without paying any money for them. One agent after another had been dis charged for not collecting for tickets sold. The official Indorsed on Frank Bushnell's letter "Appoint him agent at Hawkeye." When Frank learned that he was transferred to Hawkeye at a salary of $5o0 a year he was encouraged till he learned the facts. Then be was cor respondingly depressed. But life look ed so gloomy to hlra that be didn't care much whether he got killed try ing to collect fares at Hawkeye or not He was passing Into middle age, had no home and, worst of all, wanted to make one with a girl he knew. But that was out of the question. The first morning Frank appeared at his window a wild looking man ap plied for a ticket. Frank banded It out but kept his band on It, demand ing the money for It. The man was putting his hand to bis hip for his re volver when Frank laid his own hand on one beside the window Invisible from the outside and fired at random through the opening. Then he went outside to discover the results and found the man. shot through the breast, giving bis last kick. Going back to his telegraph clicker, he sent the following message to the man who appointed him: Killed man for refusing to pay fare. Send undertaker. Shall I keep on? When the gentleman received the dispatch he was puzzled Just what to do In the matter. This taking the law In the hands of the company through one of Its agents was not In keeping with the policy as laid down by Its chief attorney. The recipient of the telegram took it into the president who read It and was visibly Im pressed. "Send an uudertaker." he said, "and report the matter to Mr. Pugh." Mr. Pugh was the road's chief attorney. "But the reply to the station agent as to his future course? You see, he asks If he shall keep on killing those who refuse to pay." "Appoint another man in his place and os soon as the legal difficulties are out of the way order biui to report to me here." There were no legal difficulties. Every one knew all about Hawkeye Station and felt assured that If the people liv ing about It couldn't take care of them selves the law would fall also. In a few days Bushnell appeared before the president of the road. "It seems to me," said the president, "that you have indicated the field for which you are fitted. I am director In a bank. We have trouble to find a man brave enough and at the same time honest enough to guard our funds and securities. I am told that you are scrupulously honest. I can secure for ycu the position of chief watchman at the bank. You will be held account able for its safety, and as your duties will be very Important your salary will be commensurate. You will receive $3,000 a year." Frank was so astonished that he neg lected to reply. Finally, recalling hltn- , self, he said: I "If this promotion Is for killing one man, why not let me stay there and kill a few more of 'em. I could get as big a salary as any one here In time." , "It Isu't for killing a man that you re taken up for a more responsible position, but for furnishing evidence that you have plenty of nerve." I Frank Bushnell entered on his new duties. At first It seemed to him that, having been put there for the purpose of killing those who sought to rob the bank, he should shoot some one at least once n week In order to retain so Que a salary. But as time went on be learned that his value was negative not to display his nerve, but to have It tilwnys in readiness. Not till he had been with (he bank for ten years did he get unother rals, and then It was f ir being In the line of promotion ra'h er than on account of his readiness tit shoot.
