RAfTZRT SITTING by the camp fire one even ing the talk had turned upon the striking performances of some of the tenderfoot desporadoea who had out ahot and outshone some of the old timers. Capt. Crew mentioned Ger ald Flad and hia brief but brilliant career aa a ranger, and then everybody had something to say about the dash ing Canadinn-Iriahman who flashed like a meteor across the border firma ment some ten years ago. Col. Hutch inson, who was the dean of th party and had seen bloody service In two wars, threw lot nf unexpected light upon the peraonality of the vanished bravo, and aa a finale to the evening's tarlk told this story: Hi father waa one of that fast fad ing race of Iriah gentlemen who chose arms as a profession and found neither sorrow nor disappointment in the spat tered and cruel reward of hia adven turous life. Roger Flad, the father was in every uprlaing that gave prom ise of hard knocks. When he couldn't find work for his sword in the rauae of hia own suffering Islnnd he bought a commission In the British army, and afterward wandered 'round the world like ft knight errant of old. aeeking ehanrea for chivalrous advnnnemrnt. I think he married a Costilinn girl, but at all eventa Gerald was his only child and he reared him aa a gentle-blooded on of roving soldier of fortune. Toil know the hoy epoke French. Italian Spanish and German aa well aa he spoke English, and he waa a devil with brondawnrd, cutlass or rapier hrfort' he waa nf age. lie had been expelled from Heidelberg before be wns IN. and when he first ahowed up at the head quarters nf fopptnger's California ex pedition he had more Bears acroas hia boyish countenance than half of us veterana. 1 think the old man he was only a lieutenant when the Hrule Sioux got him was hnlf sorry at the training of his son. for the youngster's enrlv life wns a fierce exaggeration nf all the father's passion for war and adventure of all klnda. Well, everybody liked him I've heard Phil Sheridan swear that the lad waa the best wild turkey ahot that ever came into the Indian country hut he couldn't get tMnga hot enouph for him. He scouted for two months In the Sierras on that Cal ifornia expedition, disappeared, and the next we heard he was distinguish Ing himself In the Matabel wars ns a bushwhacker and guerrilla. I waa down In Old Mexico when Ochon was "stnrtlnir things" never mind what I wns there for and who should I see one day. drilling a troop of the nmst rascally outlaws that ever crossed the Kio Grande, but Gerald himself. n brown as an Arah and ns jaunty ns the rowdiest rurale thst ever wore spurs. I didn't get In right with these revolu tionists, hut I was In Kl laso thry called it l'aao dul Norte then when I met Gernld. thin and yellow as parch ment, sauntering alone In the Da a.

GRANTS know whether to kill bim or tarn tor eador myaelf and challenge him. Hell be here next month, snd I've got to get well, colonel. I've got to tower hia colors eomehow." Well, I met Gerald every day after that and he mended ao rapidly that in a week be began to ride with Car xerty men and waa thinking of ing the rangers again. The girl join- lived on the American side, and though I got but a few glimpses of her, I must say she was a beauty. I never saw a man so cut up over a woman. At that lime 1 think be'd have fought a whole regiment to win her. bat I waan't at all ready for the deapcrate thing he really did. I had a cottage over in the new section, . or rather shack, for there were only two rooms, and I waa frying my bacon one night about 11 when Gerald came in a the open door with a very dirty and diareputable looking Spaniard. "Colonel," ha laughed, "this la JUmon Jaeus Felipe del Agar, the famous bull fighter. . He's pretty drunk, but be wants a drink." Then he pot the hero on my army cot and gave him bottle of mescal, which the victim gulped like a f amiahed hound. "I've got to keep him here till the fighting is over," whispered Had, "and If you're my friend, colonel, you'll help me." I aaked him what be meant to do with Del Agar, but th rascal said: "Show him a good time. That's all." I made sure that no violence was In tended, and as the Spaniard was laps ing into a state of unconscious quies cence I asked Gerald to mess and prom ised to take care of his guest. Toahow you what s cunning strategist he was, he never told me a word about his ul timate scheme, 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 senorlta. He stayed all night with me, but at sunrise when I rose he waa gone, and the sleeping stranger, surrounded by half-empty bottles, was deep In dreamland. At ten o'clock that morn ing I went acroas the river after lock ing up my shack, and as soon aa I got Into my tier I saw Cafferty and aome of hia 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 Ra mon del Agar. "What do you think, Hutchinson?" oared Cafferty, coming over to me, "the Spanish champion haa vanlahed, and that fool Flad la tn take hia place. See - that gkrl over there that one with the black mantilla and the red flowers that'a the cause of It all. Flad'a so mashed on her that he'd stand up against a whole herd of Andalusiana for smile of hera.i Then the trumpet sounded and the procession of matador, picadore and banderllleros marched in. We aaw Gerald at once. He was arrayed n the tight-fitting bolero, breeches, hose and slippers of the Spaniards, but he wore neither queue nor head piece, and hia yellow curl looked aingularly nut of place among his swarthy comrades. When the fighters advanced to salute th governor, Flad did a very queer thing. He stepped up to th harrier In front of the smiling ssnorita and, ignoring the evident dis approval of the crnwd, trailed his sword as he bowed low before her. A moment later the bull, a particularly ferocious young monster. came bound ing into th arena. Find had retired, aa i th custom, to give place for the baiting by the bandcrillrrns and pica dore. but the crowd un oddly Impa tient for the "Gringo" star to have his chance, and before the play waa half completed and while the hull was at the very climax pf his fighting rage the bugle soundsd for the swords man. I think the governor yielded to the popular Impatience in the hope of sat isfying his own grudge sgalnst the American who had ignored him, hut at any rate, the first note hnd hardly sounded when Flad. hnrehsaded and laughing like a boy, bounded throng-h the gatea. hia scarlet mantle on his left arm and his Italian rsplrr Hashing In his right. Again he ignored the dig. nitarirs and smiled at the woman. Then he fared the astonished hull and flaunted the crimson ten yards from its biasing eyes. "llravo, Toro!" eramd the mob, which already hated the Intruder. "Hratn, mio Gerald!" piped a girl's voice, and then there wns the ipiick. stilled gasp of fsscinnlrd intrrent as the beast lowered his crett nnd eharired the enemy If the (ndpcs and spectstors expected an ecpial or urn. lonceil fight between the me run and the bull thi v were ilinioti ie( Instead of niUsii ir or lmlr t' r. -t.ir as the I'fsl bull fig! ter ofien id.

SCRIBBLER. a a a a LELAND I The weather is warm and dry; tbe thermometer registers 90 In tbe snade. There bas been no loss oi time as everybody is busy in the hay fields. A man was fonod dead in Brimstone Creek last week ; he went to the creek to take a bath' and it is snpposed that he had a fit, as he was subject to them. Tbe Hotel Leland is doing a good business as Mr. Woods knows how to cook, also prepare a square meal that has been shown by the increase of boarders. Died At Grave, with dropsy, F. H. Davis. He wss the oldest resident of Grave Creek, and was a good, moral, man and respected by all who knew him. The cutting of wheat will begin in a few days: grain is a big crop, 1 though in this vicinity bay has taken (be place of grain. People are abont through with the firt orop of hay. That correspondent from Applegate wants Wide Awake to come over and see their nice valley. Wide Awake has been there nearly tbe length of the creek. You have a nice valley, but yon are too far from Leland for one to see the bin timothy hay that is raised, also vetch. It is astonishing hardly room to pil it. Some timothy so big that the mowers bad to cut it with a scythe. Wide Awake nearly got lost in it as it grew so tall. A rich strike of copper ore wss msde on Mt. Reuben. Bob Gibson is the lucky fiuder; as far as developed, the ledge carrits high grade copper, also gold. This copper ledge that has been struck in this district, although copper rock exist', but never bas been bunted. When Bob goes prospecting he does not ran over the hills like some men, then curse the country but he studies tbe formation of rock, then is guided by good judgment. He has a big interest with the Sunset group of quartz mines on Mt. Reuben. The rouii'iiuy has tbe tramway from the stwmills on Brinistoue to Leland about completed. It will cost a good deal, but in the loug run i( will be cheaper than hauling by teams. Capt. Nash of Medford made oar burg a call.
