employer must be convinced that the

HIS BEST COAT
By JULIA A. ROBINSON.
1921, br Mcl.'lurs N"ewpper Syndicate.
It was one of May's fallings, if you
call it a fulling, that she wanted to
help everyone in need. In fact, to feed
every tramp who came to the door
begging for food. A very lovable fail
ing It was, and no one could find the
heart to blame her.
May had managed her father and
mother, and brought them Into her
wny of thinking, but with Harold It
might be different.
"If I marry you, Hal," she had told
her lover, "you must let me keep on
with my charities just the same.
"Agreed," he laughed, with admiring
eyes. "I only ask that you do not run
me into the poor house."
"You know 1 would not do that," she
pouted. "I'll just give away what is
mine, out of the allowance you give
me. and the old things we do not
want."
"Sure thingl" he returned.
Thiol's Meat smoothly for May after
she was married. Her husband was
devotion itself, and life was happy.
"I feel real lonesome," she confided
to her husband. "Don't they have any
tramps in this part of the town?"
"Well, really. I like that!" he re
sented, wilh pretended anger. "Lone
some! when you have me? Ain't I as
good as any tramp?"
"There, Hubby, you know I didn't
mean that. You're the best husband
ever was, but you know I can't give
you cold victuals and old clothes."
"Well. I should say not," he chuc
kled, and the kiss be gave her assured
her she was forgiven.
It was not very long, however, be
fore the tramps found her out In her 1
new quarters. It does not take long
for them to learn who Is ready to help s
them, tine by one they came to her j
door, and she was happy once more i
in the thought that she was doing good.
One day a very poor looking man j
came to the front door. He was old I
and thin and stooped. His clothes' were
almost threadbare and It was a cold
day. May invited him into the kitchen
and gave him food, which he ate with
a relish.
"If you had an old overcoat, lady!"
he suggested. "The wind sweeps
through me In this old coat and my
lungs are weak."
He gave a hollow cough that showed
he spoke the truth. Her kind heart
was touched. She must find a warm 1
coat for the man; there must be one ;
nbotu the house somewhere. t
May did not know very much about
her husband's wardrobe or what he
.I'd with his worn-out clothes, but she
would loo';. No doubt she would find
one tucked a'.-ay in some clos 't that j
she could give lo this man who needed :
it so much. Where did her busoand
put his old clothes, she wondered, for
she did not Hud them lying about In
as great profusion as she could have
Wished.
At last she opened a closet In a hack
hull. There It hung, the very thing!
The obi coat she had been looking for.
Joyfully she took it from the peg.
There was a good deal of wear In it
yet. she noted with satisfaction. It
would keep the man warm all winter.
The tramp was sincere and profuse
in bis thiinlis, and May's heart glowed
as she watched him depart, warmly
clad in Harold's obi coat.
"Let's go to the movies tonight," sug
gested Harold, lifter he finished his
supper. "Want to go?"
"Oil, yes!" cried May. "I'd love to
go! How good ymi tire!"
As they were about to start Harold
said; "1 think I'll put on my overcoat;
It's cold. I haven't wort) it this sea
son." lie went out of the room, hut soon
came back In consternation.
"P.oen feeding any tramps today?"
he asked.
"Yes, one poor old man. lie was
cold and hungry, and half sick, too."
"Well, he's helped himself to my best
winter overcoat for thanks." Harold's
voice was stern and May felt a little
a.'raid.
"Your best overcoat! Oh, Hal!" she
siammcicil.
"Yes. I hung It in that back ball
closet, lie must have slhu.e.l 111 and
taken It while you were preparing his
dainty food." IPs voice was hitter.
May trembled. Hal's hen overcoat!
And he was angry! What would he
do to her if she told him? Yet she
could not have the trump blamed un
justly. She covered her face with her
hands and burst into tears.
"Oh, Hal!" she sobbed. "It wasn t
the tramp. He didn't steal It I I
rave It to him. Hut I thought It was
old and that you'd thrown It away."
She shivered, expecting angry words
of reproach.
llaroh! was silent for a moment.
Then he burst Into a hearty laugh.
"So you thought It looked only fit
for a tramp, did you? And my wife
was the thief! I shall have to put my
clothes under lock and key hereafter
to keep them from a robber In my own
household !"
May looked up. shyly, half afraid,
but there were smiles In Harold's eye.
"You're not really angry vith me?"
she ventured, "oh, Hal! Forgive me
and I'll never take jour things acain!"
"Angry? No. puss. It's worth It to
know what a kind little heart yon
have. Only the next time, please con
suit me before you give away my
clothes or I may have to turn hegat
myself."
"I believe you love the tramps Just
a well as I do. you dear old hoy !'
Vlajf smiled, happy once more.

NED BUNTLINE, SCOUT WHO
WAS WRITER OF PLAYS
Some of the old scouts turned their
hands to queer trades when the Indian
fighting days were over. Buffalo BUI
was the owner of a Wild West show,
Edgar S. Paxsou became a painter, and
Capt, Jack Crawford was a poet. It
was left for Ed Buntline to add an
other to the list of unusual things for
a bcout to do. He became the writer
of dime novels and the producer of
melodramas equally exciting.
Judson was his real name, and Ed
ward Zane Carroll Judson was the
full title with which his parents bur
dened him on the day of lus birth in
Philadelphia in 1822. He became one
! of the boys who ran away to sea and
j vvheu he was only thirteen he rescued
I the crew of a boat that had been run
j down by a ferry steamer in New York
: harbor. Soon afterwards he became a
midshipman' in the United States navy.
Then the West called him and Jud
i son unsvvered the call. During the
j Civil war he was chief of scouts
I among the Indians on the western frou
' tier, and after that he wandered all
over the great plains as hunter and
trader, lie made the acquaintance of
I IhilTalo Dill, Wild Dill and Texa-
.lack, and began writing lus thrilling
tales, part fact and part fiction, about
their lives. Ned Utintline was the
: pen name lie used In his writing, and
as Ned Runtime he became famous.
I Utintline believed that eastern audl-
ences would be interested in plays
j based on life in the Fur West nnd in
; 1ST2 he persuaded Buffalo Hill and
Texas Jack to come East and take
part in one of his melodramas. They
arrived in Chicago one Wednesday and
found that Buntline was planning to
open the show the next Monday. He
bad rented the largest theater In the
city, but none of the other actors had
been engaged to appear with the two
scouts. In fact, the play hud not yet
been written I
With characteristic energy Buntline
set to work and in four hours he had
written a play called "The Scouts of
the Plains."
Buntline's dime novels were equally
j popular, and, In spite of the disap
I proval of their parents, the boys of
1 the eighties and the nineties eagerly
read the hair-raising adventures of
"Red Ralph, the Ranger" and "Dead
Eye pic'.;." Buntline never won re
nown as a scout himself, but be helped
spread the fame of others, until in
IsSi; be followed the trail of many of
the "redskins" who "bit the dust"
when 111111 of bis hero's "trusty rilles

THE HEROIC DEED OF '
MAN" RICHARDS
OLD
One of the hottest Indinn fights In
frontier history was the Battle of
Adobe Wulls in the Texas I'unhundlo
in 1874. The Adobe Wulls consisted
of several huts, and two or three
stores surrounded by a stockade, and
it was headquarters for a party of
hunters who killed buffaloes.
The Indiuns saw with dismay the
destruction caused by the white men.
They resolved to destroy the Adobe
Walls and kill the hunters before they
had wiped out the vast herds of bison.
Early on the morning of June 7 a
war party of Conuuiches, Klovvas and
Cheyennes, under the leadership of
Chief Qunnnnh of the Coninnehes.
swept down upon t lie Adobe Walls. The
buffalo hunters were uwuke, however,
and as the Indiuns churned the while
men with their heavy Sharps buffalo
jliins poured a deadly tire into their
midst. The Indians attacked again
and niraln. but each time they were
beaten buck with heavy loss. Nor did
the hunters escape unbanned.
Three of them were killed in the
tlrst attack, and In one of the stores a
young man mimed Thurston was shot

of "Water! Water!' was heard uhove
