The town coiihisted of one aide of a street nd some acntteriiiK mini aulmrbs, and when It wan learned that the road would not advance for some time, a great horde of outlaws ond adventurers who lived off the railroad mm, uud followed the line as coyotes follow a provision train, came flocking there.

" I rtmcmberpd the old rroverb atiout Roman etiquette when you are in Home, and sauntered into the hotel with all the nonchalance I could command. It was a mlH-rablo den, half wood and half adobe, and the landlord was as promising a look ing villain ss I ever laid my eyes on. I registered by wiping my hands ou the oflice towel, and took a mental note to sleep with one eye open. After going through the motions of eating supper I took a look at my six shooter and strolled out to see the town, but lu a few momenta found myself helplessly wedged in a crowd and temporarily anchored in a large saloon find gambling house that I judged to be the principal resort of the place. Directly in front of me was a furo table. and presently I forgot my annoyance in watching a little scene which was iu prog ress there. The players were mostly gamblers, I Judged, from their pallor and the indescribable ear marks of the profes sion, but among them, playing his money rather recklessly, was another stamp of a man. Ho was a brawny. thick set fellow, with the hands of a coal heaver nnd a curiously lnuucent looking face, in spite of the bushy beard that cov ered most of it. This plnyer was In bad luck and pnl- pably nervous. He moved his beta in a hesitating, half hearted sort of way, and muttered under bis breath and swallowed In his throat when he lost, as he repeatedly did. Iu n few moments his last chip was gone, and, pushing back his chair, be leaned over the table and said something I could not catch, pointing to the silver box from which the cards were dealt. 'You're crazy," exclaimed the dealer loudly, half rising. lint followed happened all in a flash. The thick set man reached over, seized the box and held it to the light Whether he iscovered some unfair mechanism I do not know, but he wheeled with an oath and dashed it Into the dealer's face. A roar of excitement rose from the crowd. I was swayed this way nnd that, and for l moment lost sl;;htof the table, and when I buw it again the dealer was wiping the blood from his face and the man who had struck bint was gone. That was enough for me. I went back to the hotel, but 1 had barely seated my self and lit a cigar when I heard a sound of some one running outside, then more people running, then a hoarse langle of voices, followed Instantly by two loud re ports and just two words: "OU, don't!" I think I never heard so pitiful a cry. It struck right into my heart and turned me sick, for instinctively 1 associated it with the big, brawny man with the child ish face; and right enough I was. The gambler, a man named Newton, bad fol lowed him out and killed him. In a little while the hotel was full of people talking about the tragedy, and one of them vouchsafed some details to me. "His name was Bin White," he said, "and he was a square man. He was a section boss on the railroad and had saved some money, but the gamblers got bold ot him and it all went. They say he found out to-night they wero robbing him, and that's he at it started. The queer thing about it is that when Newton cornered him be got out bis pistol first and Biiapped all six chambers, but It wouldn't go oil. Nobody understands that." This w9 strange, to say the least, snd the next day it was the talk of the town. The failure of the weapon had cost tins mnn his life, and yet nothing seemed lobe the matter with it. On the contrary, it was in perfect order: only the cartridges, for some inexplicable reason, wouldn't ex plode in it. Everybody tried it aud every bodv cave It np. The same shells, placed in other pistols exactly like it, were fired without trouble, ana halt tne glimmers in Track's End firmly believed that the weapon was bewitched or "hoodooed," as they called it. Hix months afterward, wnen -irncK s End was a reminiscence only and Its nromincut citizens had been divided be tween the cemeteries and the lieuiteml sries of the state, the sequel of that tragedy came drifting to me through a strange channel. 1 was talking to a Mexican luvyer in Uimuiiliuu, wnen ue Mtid: . . . Hy the way, I have a curiosity to ihow you. Do yon see anything Hie mat ter with that pistol?" As be spoke he opened n noor ana handed me a six shooter the Itlenticui weapon which Ben White carried whoa j he was killed. I took it witn rontictr able repuinmiice. nnd thi n be tol l no a curious story. The hammer of the pistol, like all those of large cnlilwr, terminated n a point, which strikes tne cartridge in the center. Over this point a nje mm tww.n .Irnirn tllkiniT ntT about the thick- no., nf a enr'rl: n it ellOUcll to be Seen, but j enough to prevent it from touching the shell. This completely disabled the weapon, yet left it, to all outward ap pearances, In jierfect order, and was in fact a devilish piece of ingenuity. It seems," said the lawyer, tun Newton had lieen expecting iroume Uu thin r,'tn, nd some days before obtained poM-ioii of his pistol, unknown to him, and did this with the tile blade of his pen knife. It wns not Uiseovereu iorinumii, biiiiv. - - " . . . and then quite by accident; but when it was. Mr. Newton was brought up here and tried for his life."

No honest appetite ever rejected an egg In some guise It is nutriment In the most portable form and in the most con centrated shape. Whole nations of man kind rarely touch any other animal food.
