Prominently placed in the center of I1
a festoon of rifles, knives and cartridge to
belts in the smoking-rootm of my friend
Lawrence, there is a light walking S,
boot, with which is connected a story tl
worth relating. 'I he boot of itself ti

attention, anl that only because of its p
peculiar position. of the worth of the t
incident connected with it I will let
you judge for yourself. ilero is the t
way Lawrence told it to me:

it as one of my outtlandlish fads at the

my life.
"It was just after I had finished sup
per one night and was sitting before a
big lire with tmy briar-root between 1
my teeth, that there was a trampling
in the underlbrush on the trail below

rode up on the I ach of a magnificent
lilac. horse. lIc was leading another I
horse by a 'cowt ripe';' but it was an
animal very inferior to the one he be
strode. The latter had minade me envi

was coal btack, as I have said, and I
set it down as an exceptional animal.
"The rider pulled up just in front of
the fire and. then I saw that the black
horse ha.l been cruelly riitdden. The

where the long rowels of the Mexican
spurs had worn through the skin. The
mau in the saddle didn't seem to notice
it, however, and coolly swung himself
off his Ihorse's back and stalked up to
the fire.

'jections to my stopping a bit and takin'
a bite?'

" 'Well, I hadn't thought of it.' I
said, somewhat taken aback by the
suddenness of the proposition. 'What

and'll have to push on now with other
one. W\hat do you say-is it a go?'
"It didn't take nme long to decide,
though I should have hecsita;ted, having
tramped through the country for 'iuite
a while and knowing the people and
their character and ways so well. hBut
my. mad desire to get possession of tihe
black horse stilleid whatever misgiv- I
ings I may have had; and five minutes
later I was standing by the fire holditn

andti my late companion Ihadt ridden
away,. carrying the rifle with him.
"The next mornin I t:imade an early

Involuntarily I set my chin hard, con- s:

something slip on my neck as I did w

tirely on my chin. Back of my head, b

"*The sound came to me as if from r
afar. It was faint, but it was distinct. t

at whole story. The men about me were
ranchmuen from 'Stockers,' thirty odd
d., miles above. They had lost a number
3. of valuable horses, and finally, the day
le before, the black had been missing.
t. That settled it. They at once went
,p on the trail and, though they were a

cr their pursuit, owing to the doublings
and trickery of the gentleman who had
c, ' traded mnc the black horse the evening
