RAFTERY SITTING by tha camp Are one even ing the talk had turned upon the striking performance of some of tho tenderfoot dasparadoaa who had out shot and outshone some of the old timers. Capt. Craws mentioned Ger ald Flad and hla brief hut brilliant career aa a ranger, and then everybody had soinutlilng to sny about the dash ing Canadlan-lriahmnn who flashed like a meteor across the border firttia ' mant aoma ten yeare ago. Col. Hutch inson, who waa the daaa of the party and had aeen bloody service In two wars, threw a lot of unexpected light upon the peraonality of the vanished brarn, and aa a finale to (ha evening's talk told thi story: Hla father waa ona of that fast fad ing race of Iriah gentlemen who choaa arms as a profession and found neither Borrow nor disappointment in the scat tered and cruel rewards of his adven turous life. Roger Flad, the father waa in every uprising that gave prom ise of hard knocks. When ha couldn't And work for hla sword In the ranse of hla own suffering Island he bought commission In the llrltlnh army, and afterward wandered 'round the world like a knight errant of old. seeking chances for chivalrous advancement. I think he married a Castilinn girl, hut at all eventa Gerald was his only child and he reared him as a gentle-blooded son of a roving soldier of fortune. You know the hoy spoke French, Italian. Bpnnlsh and German as well aa hp spoke English, nnd he was a devil with broadsword, cutlass or rapiar heforr he wns of age. Ho had been eipelled from Hi'idellierg before he was 1H, and when he first showed up nt the head quarters of (oppingi'r's ralifornla ex pedition he had more scars across his boyish countenance than half of ua veterans. I think the old man he waa only a lieutenant when the Hnile Rlotti got him was half sorry at the t raining of his eon. for the youngster's early life waa a Keren exaggeration of nil the father's passion for war and adventure of all kinds. Well, everybody Ilk'At him I've heard Phil Rherldnn swear that the lad was the beat wild turkey shot that ever rnmr into the Indian country but he couldn't get thlnga hot enough for him. Ha scouted for two month In the fllorras on Mist Cal ifornia .expedition, disappeared, and the next we heard he was distinguish ing himself In the Matnbele wars aa a bushwhacker and guerrilla.

I hulled hitn. and found nut all about the failure of hla ambitious plana, lie waa to have been a governor or aome thlng If the rebellion had succeeded. He had been hit at the Arroyo fight, crawled IT miles to the river and was now recuperating at Hotel Dleu, a akeleton of hlmaelf, but as full of devil metit as ever, lie said very frankly that he waa In a terrible frame of mind about a young woman of ( Mini v hua a high caste Mexican of Cordo van descent -whom he meant to marry, even though he had to carry her off.

Well, I met Gerald every day after that and he mended ao re) illy that In a week he began to ride . ith Caf ferty'a men and wns thlnkii of join lug the rangers ngtiln. The girl lived on the American side, and though t got but few glimpses i f 1 er, I must say she waa a beauty. I never Hew a mnn so cntupotcra womiin. At that time I think he'd have fought a whole) regiment to win her, but I wasn't at all ready for the desperate thing he really did. 1 had a college ou r in the new section, or rather it shuck, for thero were only two rooms, nnd I waa frying my bnoon cine night about 11 when Gernld came in at the open door with a very dirty and disreputable looking Rpanlnrd. J "Colonel," he laughed, "thia Is Ramon Jesus Felipe del Agar, the famous bull fighter. He's pretty drunk, but he wants a drink." Then he put the hero on my army cot and gave Mm a bottle of mescal, I which the victim gulped like a famished hound. "I've got to keep him here till the fighting is over," whispered Flad, "and if you're my friend, colonel, you'll help me." I asked him what he meant to do with Dal Agar, but the rascal said: "Show him a good time. That's all." I made euro that no violence was In-. tended, and aa the flpanutrd wns laps ing into a atate of unconscious quies cence I asked Gerald to meas and prom ised to take care of his guest. To show you what a cunning strategist he was, he never told me a word about his ul timate schema, but I suspected that by preventing Del Agar from appearing In the bull ring in the morning he hoped to make good his suit with the aenorita. He stayed all night with me, but at sunrise when I rose he waa gone, and the sleeping stranger, surrounded by half-empty bottlea, waa deep In dreamland. At ten o'clock that morn ing I went across the river af trr lock ing up my aback, and aa soon aa I got Into my tier I saw Cafferty nnd some of his men, waiting for the second on set. The first bull had been killed by one of the lesser swordsmen and the whole amphitheater was alive with gossip about the disappearance of Ita mon del Agar. "What do you think, Hutchinson?" 'oaredCafferty.comingover to me, "the .Spanish champion has vanished, aud that foid Flad ia to take his place. See that girl over there- that one with the black mnntilla and the red flowers thnt'a the rntise of It all. Find's so In a all el on her that he'd atand up agalnat a whole herd of Andaloaiuns for smile of hers." Then the trumpet sounded and the procession of matadorrs, pleadores aud bsndsrilleros marched in. We saw Gerald at once. He wns arrayed In the tight-fitting bolero, breeches, hiHM and slippers of the Spaniards, but he wore neither queue nor head piece, and hla yellow curia looked alngularly out of place among his swarthy comrades. When the fighters advanced to salute the governor, Flail did a very ipteer thing, lie stepped up to the harrier In front of the smiling aenorita slid, Ignoring the evident dis approval of the crowd, trailed his sword as he bowed low brfore her. A moment later the bull, a particularly ferocious young monster, came bound ing into the arena. Find hint retired, as Is the custom, to give plsce for the baiting liy the banilerillrroa and plea dores. hut the crowd wns oddly Impa tient for ths "tirlngo" itnr to hnvr his chance, and before the play waa half completed and while the hull wna at the very ollinax of hla fighting rage the bugle sounded for the swords man. 1 think the governor yielded to the popular Impatience In the hope of sat isfying his own grudge ngniust the Amrrirsn who hud ignored hitn, tint at any rate, the first note had hardly sounded when Find, linreheailed nnd laughing like a boy, Innintleil through the gates, his scarlet tnnntle on his left arm and ills Itnllnn rapier flashing in bis right. Agnln he Ignored the dig nltaries and smiled at the woman. Then he faced the astnnUlie il hull and flaunt i'il the crimson ten yards from Its biasing eyes. "Bravo, Torol" screamed the mob, which already hated the Intruder. "Ilrato, mlo Gernld!" piped a girl's voles, and thsn there waa the ipilck, ttlltr.l gasp of faartnnted Interest aa the bract lowered hla crest and ehnrged the enemy. If the Judges nnd spectators expected sn siiunl or pro longed fight between the American and the bull they were dieappointed. Inatend of missing or half-thrusting, as the best hull-fighters often do, Find burled I is weapon to the hilt, true be tween the shoulders of the bull, as swift and certain ns If it had been pricking a sawdust target. As the brute tank quivering to Its knees. Find stood a second before It, ss If sthamed. Then he plucked out his sword, flung it on the ground and walked nut at the gate ax antic n nnd na bowed aa if he bad been beaten in a fnlr fight. He auluted nobody, hredud not the cheers of the multitude, nor stopped till he was alone In his dress ing room. When Flad reached my house that naht lel Agar waa gone.

Protested From Blaekasalk and Mle takes Ia MIxlasT Drasst One of the latest things In the fidelity and casualty line Is to Insure druggiats against wbnt is enllfd the wrong pre scription man. For J13 or $23 a year several companies down town guaran tee drugglstd agalnat damages arlnlng from mistakes In compounding drugs. One of the moRt successful of these companies has !)."0 chemists of New York, Jemey City, Newark and New Haven on Its liat of subwrlliers. The Idea of Insuring druggists azninst loss from their own mlntakea originated in the belief of a number of leading pharmacists that they were tho victims of a giuitf of rogues who mado a practice of pretending tlint wrong medicines had been given to some member of their families, some times with jwrlotis rcHtiltM. The gang was partly broken up by the fidelity compnny vhlch flint nsnunied the re sponsibility of protecting druggists at $0 a year each. An oltlitT of this com pany says that there are fully 1,000 mistakes a year In the compounding of drugs. 'While there ore so many genulno mistakes," he continued, "there are niuny alleged errors In mixing medi cines, and Koine of the complaints are Invented for the sole purpose of ex torting money from the retail dr'ig glfits. Our company guarantee to pn tect druggists ogalnst themselves, but our main desire Is to prevent fraud on the part of those who want to black mall one of our clients for something be has not dune. "It Is -a serious matter to make a mlatnko In mixing drugs, but It Is fre quently even more serious to the drug gist to have it noised about that such a mistake was made. I have known chemists to lie forced out of business by the publicity given to the fact that they made a blunder. Dishonest per sons have recognized the fear that druggist have of an exposure of this kind and have taken advantage of the knowledge. ".Since we undertook to protect them a number of druggists hnve confessed to paying big turns to persons who said mistakes were ninde. I have the names of half a dozen so called doctor who have aided un enst side gang that wns engaged in the business of bleeding chemists. "Still, there Is nothing really remark able In thM protection of druggist.
