When there were no outsiders In
(Arkansas City In the olden days, the
plncc was quiet. Kven In old man
Oreenl.wv'n saloon thero would be.
nothing of Importance doing as a Ren
cral rule, and If It was. quiet there,
ever body who knew anything about
the place millzcit that It would be
useless to look for activity clsewherv
tn thci tntvn. Commentated ncreo
that Arkansas City wns the locality
Tennyson described as "a land where
It was always afternoon," though this
Inhabitants followed the custom of
the .Southern States and called It
"evening."
The. nrrlval of a stranger, however,
In rl;nnsjs City In those times was
niways the occasion of renewed Inter
est In life among the citizens. Not
inficiiicntly the stranger would hnre
money on his person, and there was
nlwitys the possibility of Retting It
unity from him.
i me Kye hail been In Arkansas City
lirforc, not only once, but repeatedly,
iiinl, as was proved by the fact of tils
trturn nt this time, he had always
liucceedcd on these previous occasions
In celling away with his life. That
lie had done so was considered by .loe
Otassctt. the Sheriff of Arkansas Ciiy,
In the light of a personal grievance,
mil by the other citizens as a stand
ins reproach.
He was not the only man who had
ever silt In at the poker game In old
man Greenlaw's saloon and won
money. Others hail ilone tnat. inoiigit
there were not many who had, for the
nggrcgatlon of talent In the group ot
idayers t lint was always to be found
In the back room of the saloon vvaa
.orv great. No man win was un-
lossessetl of exceptional ability could
liiqio to prevail against It.
And In thus rare cases In which
omo player xf unusual skill hnd mic
ccedid In putting a crimp In the house
wad. It had not nlwny.i hupp-tied that
lie had gone away from Arkansas City
vlth his winnings. Those who lost
their money found no difficulty In
going away from there peaceably. The
itd man would even advance the
iiecervary funds to enable them to de
part, rather than to have them re
main, he having a firm conviction
that penniless outsiders were undeslr-
nble persons lo have around.
Ills prejudice, however, was equally
Fining against having any depart with
noire money than they brought Into
his place, and Kislbly because of tills
feeling on his part there were some
times untoward circumstances th.it
"Jilll tatcd against the strangers col
lection of the winnings that had ac
crued to him. wherefore it had come
to bo generally understood, up and
don u the Mississippi Itlver. that al
though there was much excitement to
be had lir the game there was little
profit to he obtained by sitting In
n.,iiiist the house players. There were
fi w indeed wh i hail derived any.
Oi l !: e. liooer. had ilnlie it ro-
riitdl.v. and as was said, had thereby
e i eil gnat unpopularity In t lie place.
I' was even cn'nsldi'red by those who
wire i in versa lit with the facts that
It mis mure or less unsafe for him to

Safety, however, was a secondary
consideration with the one eyed man
when i, came to a question of pos
sibly pnifltnbie amusement. He had
a natural craving for excitement and
hi. appetite for It seemed to Increase
with Ills Indulgence of It. Ilclng do
void of fear he was undeterred by any
hazard In the pursuit of It, nnd from
Kline to time ho revisited Arkansas

"One Eye," said tho stranger bold'y,
"Look a hero." exclaimed Joe Has
sett, with great heat. "Is yo' nil

"Never seen him but oncct,'' said
the stranger, "hut o' eo'se. I done !

nobody p'vldln' th' nln't no clianct o'

This view of the matter, however,
failed to commend Itself to the others.
Not only did Hassett object strenu
ously to anything that looked toward
a toleration of One Kye's presence In
Arkansas City, but Jake Wluterbot
tom and Jim Ulalsdell, who were both
listening attentively, spoke up to re
mind the old man that one Mye had i
fooled them before, and could be re-
lied upon to do It again. Sam I'earsall i
said nothing, but there was a danger-1
nils glint In his ee, as the matter was
discussed at length.
The stranger was also silen. seem
ing to be utterly Indifferent as to the
decision that should be reached, what
ever It might be, but Htaisdell, whose
Instincts were always favorable toward
a sporting proposition, though his
hatred of One Kye wa? as Intense as
that of the others, presently asked for
further particulars. Then the stran
ger soke again, readily enough.
