A Chr latma , Story of Wl\lker' , Divide , by Harry B. lazard.
Wrlttcn \lccl\lh' ror 'I'he CUMter County Republican ,
In Saturdays' issue of the
Lighted 11'use , there appeared a
spirited editorial to the effect
th t the citi7.ens of Wallter's
Divide should put their hands
deep iuto their pocets } and dig
up enough coin to provide a
Christmas' dinner for all cowboys
and miners who happened to be
walking on their uppers at that
particular time. Some of the boys
had bcen playing in pretty hard
luck since winter set in. and
taking it all together , the scheme
looked lilte a middling good one.
As the editor pathetically remarked -
marked : lilt's not cvery man
that carries a guu , who can. .
afTord to buy turkey at an al ti-
tude of 10,500 feet above sea level. "
'rhere were also hints thrown
out to leading citizens and good
reasons given why they spould
contribute to the cause. Sam
Foster , proprietor of the Gilt
Dcck Bungalow , came in for a
generous amount of notice ; and
this was the snag that nearly
wrecked the enterprise. In wind-
in " article the
up .his little ,
editor saul : "
I'Sam Foster , a notorlou
citizen , thug and cut-throat of
this town , should contdbutc
more than any enc else ; because
it is a wcll k own fact that half
of the boys , who are hunting for
a grub-staltc and haven't enough
of the 'necessary' to buy a
solitary white chip , owe thcir
present condition to this tin horn.
We are surprised some of them
haven't tendered him the sort' of
receptiol ! that was given to
Purgatory Pete. some months
back ; but they evidentl } ' know
their own busines ! and 1t is not
for us to int rfere. If Mr.
[ , 'oster wIll send or bring his
contribution to this office , he
will receive due' credit thro gh-
these columns. "
'I'hen there were signs of
trouble. right off. Sam swore he
would drop the diminutive editor
on sight , and sent a special
: message warning him to keep
under cover ; ' but the little fellow
was not built ulon those . lines at
all. He continul'd .to saunter
about town , collecting sUbscription -
tion ! ; for the dinuer , superintending -
ing rrangements and making
himself generally useful. He
and Sam failed to collide , and it
was soon whispered that the big
gambler. and not the editor , was
taking to cover. Be' that as it
may , it did not prevent a good ,
round sum being collected for
the turkeys. . . " .
It was eight days b.efore
Christmas ! It would 'take six
days to send a freight team over
to Lead ville and back. The pass
was barely open , and another
heavy snow would probably close
it for a month ; so it behoved the
manag rs of the enterprise to get
a shufile on themselves. Thcy
chartercd Dick Dolman's foul
full bob , gave him instructiom
to buy the besLlot of birds an
f xin's be could for the money :
and started him'off. . As the
.
outfit swung past thc.Gilt Ded
Bungalow , Sam Foster , who wa !
standing in front of the place
gave vent to an able bodied cus !
word and remarked :
"I'll eat my coat if Uta
baggage car ever shows up it
this camp with a load of turlts.1
"The editor will make > you ea
; ; it , if it don't , " said a small voice
and _ as Sam urlled quickl :
are n , the devil of the "Fusel
office suddenly evaporated.
t Things passed quietly cnougl
until the' afternoon of the sixt1
daAll - was in readines
Pretty Poll's # terpsichorean tel
race had been rented for th
occasion. IIinckey's brass band
of four pieces , including a bas
rnm , was engaged. Every ( lis' '
10 town bad bcen borrowed. tb
I invitipns were ou't ( given vel
bal1y ) and now , all that rc
mainedto complete the festi\'itie
3 was the precious load of fowl !
I Night came on.vith no sigl1
of Dick and his charge. .
? traveller , who had arrived in
light sleigh , said be had passe
. Dolman at the hal -way cabir
that he had a fine load on an
was making good time , under n
1 circumstances. This was CI

" - )
couraging and the crowd. felt
better ; but when noon arrived
the next day , and with it JIO
Dich , it. began to look as though
therc was a large size bolt rattl-
ing' in the machine. somcwhere.
'rhe editor was the only man
not excited. When approached
on the subject , he said there was
no use in getting one's shirt ofT.
and went on setting type. Then
a committee waited on him and
sugges ed a search parl ) ' . He
asltcd them to h ng ofT until
3 o'clock. They did so.
At that time the "l1'use" made
it's weekly appearance. Under
01 a scare head. the editor assured
j the people of Walker's that tbe
i dinner would be pulled off on ,
schedule time , the next afternoon -
noon , and notified those cltbcns
having large ovens at thcir
homes , to. hold themselves in
readiness to assist in ro sting the
I turkeys , which woul(1 be dis-
I tribued the following morning ,
at 6'o'clock , from in front of the-
"Fuse" office.
This was a surprise party , with
a vengeance ; but toall questions ,
the editor would -give but one
. "Tomorrow . "
.answer : morning.
'l'here was one man to
the surprise came with the
suddenness of a solar plexus.
He stood in his private room
back of the bar. There was a
nasty scowl on his ( ace and he
was muttering savagely :
"How in thunder is he going
to do it ? 'rhe blankety
blank Httle whelp is just bluffing ,
that's all. He an't pos3ibly do
any thing. Still it's b st to been
on the safe side and make ev "ty-
thing secure. "
He niada a step forward , then
stopped as i petrified. The door
'lH d opened and he little .editor
stood there. qUietly lookmg at
him. His hands were thrust
carelessly into his coat pocket
and a sarcastic grin spread ovcr
his countenance as hc noticed the
effet his entrance had produced
upon the other.
"Though t I'd make a short
CI)1 :
by sending my card in advance.
We've exchanged courtesies !
before , I believe. so I'll not "
Here the other suddenly found
his voice.
, "Why , you nervy little apology
for something better ! I've a
great mind to-to- " Words
failed him at this point as be
moved bis hand. to his hip
pocket. _
"Stop thall" The words were
snapped out as though they had
come from . a ( lerringer. "I'd
l jlve been a , bigger fool than
even you take me for , Sam , If I
coultln't have scen any further
ahead than that. I've bad the
drop on ) 'OU ver since I , entered
, that door , " and he slightly moved
the right band concealed in his
coat pocket.
"Now , I'm here to transact
some business and it't going
, through in double quick order.
The first move on the board is
t for you to read that. " The
( liter took a small piece of paper ,
, evidentlv aLl old clipping , and
laid it o the table with hi5 ! left
hand. Foster leancd over and
t loolted at it.
" I As he rrad , his face grew
livid and hi\ \ limbs shook. 'rhe
t clipping was two years old and set
. forth the fact of a reward being
ofT red of $500 for one John
Dineen. a deserter from the
United. States army. Simultaneously -
eously with the desertion. a nnm-
b r of jewels , valued at $2.000 , an
I. belonging to the colonel's wife ,
also disappeared , hence , the
e reward.
"He cognized ) 'OU by that very
peculiar scar you bave over the
eye , " calmly continued the editor.
"You have tried hard to conceal
it. and 1 give vou credit for ,
being considerabl smarter than !
) 'OU look. I've had my little
twinkling optic on you for some
ti me.
.
'
'Now , to business ! Follow
closely what I say , becausc I'm
in no humor to waste breath
today. I have written out twodis-
cri ptions of you , who you are and
