was simply copyist, He carried this to
such an extent that he even tried that

on the cheerful chap who tried it the forc

made an effort at this trick one night at
Lordsburg. Instead of the tenderfoot trem
blingly swallowiug the liquor he laid hands
on Bob. He took bis revolver away from
him and then good natumlly whacked one
of the would be bad man's ears off close to
his head with his burning knife.
"After that Bob lost caste faster than
ever. He became known as One Ear Dodge,
and he got lots of hints that folks around
there only wanted one thing to make them
perfectly contented and happy, and that
thing was Oue Ear Dodge's perpetual ab
sence. But he wouldn't take hints and got
to be a bigger nuisance than ever. There
was abig cattle ranch just over the line in
Old Mexico, and one day a lot of stray cat
tle came strolling in among us. Their
brands showed that they belonged on the
Mexican ranch. One Ear Dodge had been
unusually disagreeable for a day or two
and was hanging around, ugly and broke.
When the boys saw whose cattle the strays
were, they said it would be a good thing to
get One Ear to drive them back to their
owner. The matter was suggested to him.
" ' 'Sther anything in itf snorted Dodge.
" 'Big reward in it, of coarse,' was the re
ply. "The upshot of it was that One Ear got
on his pony, rounded up the strays and
started with them for their owner's ranch.
After he had been gone an hour or so oue
of the boys said, as if he had just happened
to think of it:
" 'One Ear will have to drive them cattle
onto and across that Mexican range before
be gets to the ranch, won't hef
"The reply was that he would.
" 'If any of them Mexican ranchers should
see him doing it they might think it looked
suspicious, mightn't they?'
" 'Naturally they might,' was the reply.
'But maybe they won't see him.'
"That was all there was said on the suL
ject just then. One Ear Dodge didn't come
back that day nor the next. Along toward
night the next day some of the boys came
together again.
" 'Well,' said one of them, 'I guess they
must 'a' Keen One Ear.'
" 'Looks that way,' was the quiet reply.
"Then the subject was dropped. Two or
three days later word came from over the
border that some Mexican ranchers had
captured and strung up a one eared cattle
thief, taken in the act.
" 'Yes, they Been One Ear,' said one of
the boys. 'I was afeerd maybe they would.'
"And I said then, and I say now, that

A STRANGE AFFAIR
At a wayside It n, on the old road that
then ran between Philadelphia and C ,
in the state of Pennsylvania, a very strange
and curious affair occurred in the fall of
1797. One dark, rainy, disagreeable night
a mounted traveler, well muffled tip in a
great coat, with its broad cape turned-up
over his head like a cowl, his chin ami
lower part of his face buried in a large
bandana handkerchief, and with a broad,
black patch over his right eye, rode np to
the tavern and called for supper and lodg
ing. At the large fire burning in the chim
ney of the barroom he sat and warmed ami
dried himself while his meal was being
prepared, without removing any of his gar
ments, not even so much as his hat, and
when the landlord at length announced
that his repast was ready he simply re
marked:
"I have a severe pain in my face, so you
must excuse my going to the table as I
am."
He ate his aupper in silence, and showed
no disposition tor conversation, called for
strong glass of brandy and water, and
soon after asked to be conducted to his
room, adding that he was very much fa
tigued. "By the way," he said to the landlord,
who in person lighted him to his bedroom,
"I may as well leave my pocketbook and
watch in your possession till morning," at
the same time handing t hose articles to
the host, who took them with some reluc
tance, saying:
"I reckon they'd be quite as safe here
with yourself, though I'll keep them for
you if you wish me to." -
"You'll oblige me by doing so." relolned
the stranger. ,
"Well, then, said the innkeeper, "I must
know how much money you've got here if
I've got to be responsible for it."
"Please open the pocketbook. then, and
count for yourself," returned the stranger.

"I make it 315 .
"Right." rejoined the traveler, "and
while I'm about it I may aa well add this
puree, wmcn contains fifty-one dollars in
specie."
The landlord also counted the coin. oart
gold and part silver, said the amount was
right and went out, bidding the other good
night.
About 3 o'clock in the morning a neigh
bor living within a stone's throw of the
tavern, and who chanced to be ud with a
sick child, fancied he heard above the roar'
of the storm, which had increased in vio
lence, a wild shriek, followed bv two
cries of "Help! Murder!"
He was rather a timid man, and was
much alarmed. He blew out his light.
cautiously opened the door, looked out and
listened. The storm beat into his face and
howled around his dwelling, but he could
see nothing, not even a light at the inn,
and he heard nothing more that sounded
like a human voice. He shut the door and
fastened it, and then woke up his wife and
told her all. She happened to be a woman
of unusual nerve and courage, and after
putting a few questions replied with a
yawn:
"Oh, Jim, it was only one of vour fan
cies. You're always hearing something
that nobody else doesl Just think how
many times you've hunted the bouse over
for robbers since I've lived with you! Just
tend to Mary, will you, and let me get a
little sleep, tor you know I didn't have any
last night."
"I know-it wasn't any fancy, but a real
human ry!" grumbled the man as he
walked awp and allowed his drowsy
spouse to return to her dreams.

his habitation. He sprung out of bed,
hastily drew on his trousers and boots,
took his waistcoat In his hand and hurried
down to his supposed customers. On open
ing tne uoor ne round himself confronted
with two rough looking men, well muffled
up against the storm, which as yet had
scarcely abated in fury. Their horses,
panting, splashed with mud, with droop
ing oeaas, were nitcnea at tne nearest post,
and showed by their looks that they had
been ridden fast and far.
"Did a mounted traveler stop at this inn
last night," abruptly inquired one of the
two strangers.
"Yes," was the answer.
"Is he still here?"
"Heis."
"Will you describe his appearance?"
"As well as I can," said the wondering
host, "for I didn't get to see much of his
face." And he not only proceeded with the
description of his person, but added al!
that the traveler had said and done, in
cluding the affair of the money.
"I think we've got him this timet" said
the one who had addressed the landlord,
turning to his companion.
"It looks like it," was the reply; "but
he's no doubt a desperate fellow, and we'd
better proceed with caution till we make
all sure!"
"Hark yon, landlord!" said the first
speaker in a low tone; "a word in your
private earl We are officers from justice,
from Philadelphia, In pursuit of a bank
robber, and we suspect your strange guest
toouarg. to see anything distinctly.
"I hope the fellow has not heard nsl"
said one of the officers drawing a pistol,
while the other produced a pair of hand
cuffs. "I hope it won't be necessary to shoot,
ffentlemenl" said the host with increased
agitation. '
"We will all go np softly and try his
door," said the officer with the pistol,
"and if we find it fast perhaps it will be
better for us to remain on guard and wait
till he comes out himself."
The host, light in hand, led the way,
though with seeming reluctance, as if hot
over courageous. On reaching the door,
which the three parties had approached
with light, stealthy steps, the landlord
tried it very gently, and finding it unfas-
siowS ffipdft
went In, followed by the officers. The
next moment the innkeeper exclaimed in
a tone 01 alarm nd agitation:
"Gracious heavenl what's the meaning
of this?"
The bed was tumbled, but vacant no
traveler was there and the sheets and pil
low cases were stained with bloodl
The officers looked mescingly at each
ther and then at the host, who, pale aud
trembling, souk half fainting upon the
sparest sent. For a few moment there
was a deep and ominous silence, and then
one of the officers said, slowly and with
pointed emphasis:
"Landlord, this is very strange!"
"The st rmigext thing I ever knew!" fairly
gasped the innkeeper, glancing around hltn
in frightened bewilderment. "Where can
the man have gone to!
"And this blood too!" sternly chimed in
the other ollicer. "V hat does this mean,
if not some foul piny!
"Oh, gent lenien," said the host in a low,
tremulous tone, "I liow you don't suspect
me, tor l in as Innocent as a child unborn.
And now I rememler, too, when I went to
the door to let you in I found it wasn't
fastened, and I'm right sure I fasteucd it
myself before I went to bed."
"We certninly do suspect you. sir." said
the other ollicer; "for how can we help it
since the man is gone and you, as you have
confessed, nave his mouey iu your posses
sion f"
"But lie gave me the money to keep for
him," cried the frightened host, "and I've
got it yet."
"Undoubtedly you have, but that, you
see, so far from proving you know nothing
of the affair, only tends to make matters
the worse for you."
- remap ne s nnout Here yet some
where!" suggested the innkeeper. "If he's
a batik roliberand heard your knocks, he'd
be quite likely to hide himself, or run away,
I should think."
The idea was worthy of atteution, and a
search for the missing mail was forthwith
begun. On looking under the bed blood
was discovered on the floor, and the trail
of this was found to lead out of the room,
aown me stairs nuti out or the front door
showing that the object of search, either
living or deird, hud gone out of the house.
Beyond the building there were no traces,
for the storm had obliterated them. The
hostler was called, the only other man
about the House, but he appeared to be a
kind of stupid fellow, and evidently knew
nothing of the matter, and a look in the
barn showed the stranger's horse still
there.
About an hour Inter the neighbor men
tioned came over to the inn in great agita
tion and alarm, snid there was the body of
a murtiereu man lying by the roadside, and
also stated what he had heard daring the
night.
All hurried to the scene of the tragedy,
aud there beheld the hotly of a coarse
featured man of forty, which the officers
believed from its general appearance to be
that of the villain they were seeking; but
whether that of tiie stranger who had
lodged at the cabin no one could tell. The
body was covered with blood, and the man
had evidently died from knife wounds in
the breast.
Throughout that thinly peopled section
the news spread rapidly, and before night
a large number or excited spectators, in
cluding the sheriff, coroner and two mag
istrates, had collected at the inn. Ad
inquest was held and a verdict rendered
in accordance with the facts; and, though
there was no direct evidence against the
landlord, yet suspicion pointed so strongly
to him as the murderer, that he was taken
into custody and committed for trial,
In due time the trial came on, but the
jury could not agree and were finally dis
charged. A second trial resulted like the
first, and the innkeeper, whose name was
Williams, was kept in prison over a year.
How the nffair would have eventually
terminated had the mystery not been
cleared up in an unexpected manner it is
impossible to say, but ere the time fixed
for the third trial arrived a stranger ap
peared before the magistrate of the couu
ty and deposed that be himself was the In
dividual who had lodged at the iun on the
night of the murder, and for taking whose
lire tne landlord was still in prison.
In the course of his evidence he stated
that he had been a merchant in Philadel
phia, who finding himself on the eve of
failure hud collected a large amount of
money ami run away; and that all trace of
himself might be lost and his death ex
pected, he had adopted the plan of putting
a small part of the money in the hands of
the innkeeper, ostensibly for safe keeping,
and secretly departing in the night on foot,
not Bupponing anything very serious would
result to the landlord from this course of
action.
Ou getting up somewhere about mid
night bis nose had set to bleeding, which
would explain the traces of blood he had
left behind him. He made his way to Bui
tinuaaaJinj itunwiy to Havana, where
(todftor'sT'dTTty
,rriw
account of his ar i a reaftd a friend he
had for the first time learned with horror
of the almost fatal consequences to the inn
keeper of his unjustifiable disappearance,
and bad hastened to make what reparti
tion lay in his power. His testimony whs
subsequently corroborated on all impor
tant points, and the innkeeper was honor
ably discharged, to the great relief and
joy of his sympathizing friends. As a par
tial recompense for what he had suffered
on his account the merchant made him a
present of the horse and money he had
left with him and (3,000 besides.
But the clearing up of one part of this
strange affair only seemed to involve the
other in still deeper mystery. A murder
had surely been committed, but by whom?
And who was the unfortunate victim?
Even this, in course of time, was also
made manifest. Some years after a vil
lain, under sentence of death, confessed
that he was a partner of the bank robber.
and that, having made an equal division of
the spoil, tbey bad agreed to leave the city
by different routes and meet at an ap
pointed place, that, eager to secure the
whole of the booty, lie had secretly taken
bis partner's road instead of the one agreed
upon, and had waylaid and murdered him
within a few rods of the tavern kept by
Williams, who by being arrested for the
crime had drawn off all suspicion from
himself.
Thus were these recorded deeds of that
tempestuous night eventually brought to
light, and the innocent cleared and re
warded, and the guilty detected and punished.-.

About Women's Clubs,
Speaking of women's clubs and their
management, a cynical man remarked
thnt he had often thought what curious
gatherings they must be. "Why," he
said, "you don't smoke, you don't drink,
you don't play cards. For goodness
sake, what do you do with yourselves?'
"Well," came the answer from an in

we don't wake in the morning with a
head and a thirst that makes us empty

It is a Chinese superstition that hav
ing a baby's picture taken is a sure pre
cursor of illness, if not death. Strange
ly, the superstition has been apparently
verified in the case of the babr of the
Chinese minister at Washington. The
minister refused to permit the child's
portrait to be made, but the secretary of
the legation, who was disposed to be
skeptical, took the child surreptitiously
