He seemed of fero» clous disposition at first, and I bellewwi he Intended to murder me, but In a little time be tbswed out, and I began to see that he was not such a bad tel low after all. When supper had been prepared and disposed of be dug among the leai-w «nd brought out an old satchel. The contents consisted of a dozen copies of tbe paper which had busted him, a lib eral supply of print paper for wrltln< on and half a dozen lead pencils. He took some of the blank paper and a pencil and scribbled away for a few minutes and then Mid: “Although I am out of the sanctum the old habit still clings. I want you to see my style and criticise it. Listen to this: ‘Mr. Joseph Gillam, our esteem ed fellow townsman, called at this of fice yesterday to report that while b» was on the highway between Jopllrs and Neosha last Tuesday he was ■ ud ilenly confronted by a highwayman armed with a shotgun, who ordered him Into the woods to be despoiled and probably murdered. Mr. Gillam, who was taken completely by surprise, ap peared to cheerfully acquiesce, but Just as he entered the wo»xls he quickly drew Ills pistol and turned in his saddlo and tired point blank at the daring burglar. As soon as be pulled the trig ger be put spurs to his hor^e and lu the confusion of th» moment made good his escape. The robber fired twe- charges of buckshot at him?1 "What do you think of that?" asked, the editor as lie finished reading. “It's very fair." "But not up and up. It’s too heavy— too Shakespearean. Our eminent fel low townsman. Mr. Gillam, would buy five extra eopii-s of the paper to send a way to his relatives, but the urticl» would not produce widespread Interest. That was my falling-nothing wide spread about my writings. I'd like tc see your style. Just dash off some thing based ou the same facts.” I wrote a "side header" about half the length of his, and when be had read It he said: "That knocks all my plans In tbe bead. I was going to offer you a part nership in this business, thinking you, too, were also too Shakespearean lor i style for this section, but I find I’m mistaken. It's an elegant little article —not a word too little or too much.” Tlie man had such a queer streak about him that I couldn't make up uiy mind whether he was a robber, as he claimed, or had goue daft over his troubles and was wandering about as crazy people often do. There was no cause to fear him, however, and we sat and smoked till a late hour and had a good visit. When morning came und we had disposed of breakfast, be urged me to accept J100 as a present, and when I firmly refused he wanted m® to take a gold watch. In those days a tramp printer with $4 ahead of the game was a millionaire. My refusal seemed to hurt his feelings, but he shook bunds heartily ou parting and wished me all sorts of good luck. Iu due time 1 reached Neosho, went from there to Fayetteville. Ozark and Clarksville and about the middle of December brought up at Van Buren. One day I was scut over to Fort Smith to intervleXv a man who was to be banged ten days later. When udmittedl to tbe presence of the condemned 1 was almost paralyzed to discover in him the whilom editor of the Echo. Ills surprise was likewise great, but as »<km us be bad rallied a little bis fact* fairly beamed with smiles as he said; "What a gousend! Why, my dear boy, I'd rather see you than any other mau on earth. It wasn’t an hour ago that I was saying I'd give a day off the few left me to see you.
