‘Webster =Man’s Man By PETER B. KYNE z Aauthor of “Cappy Ricks,” “The Valley of the Giants,” etc. § | ¢ 7 | (Copyright, by Petes B. Kyne) Y (Continued from Page 2) l = o)l two men would rush and make a con- certed attack from the rear. He smiled. “Ill just fool you two hombres a | whole lot.”” he thought, and stooping, picked up a small stone. On the in- stant the two men, having approached within thirty feet of their quarry, made a rush for him. Their charge was swift, but though it was, the little stone which John Stuart Webster hurled was swifter. It struck the young man fairly between the shoulderblades with a force suffi- | cient to bring him out of his sentl- mental reverig with a jerk, as it were, e whirled, saw the danger that N\ threatened him, and—sprang to meet it “Bravo!” yelled Webster, and ran to his aid, for he had seen now that It was to be knife work. Tragedy in- stead of melodrama. The map with the puckered eye closed in with such eagerness it was apparent to Webster that here was t work to his liking. The young man i raised his light cane, but Pucker-eye ! @id not hesitate. He merely threw up aseid { his left forearm to meet the expected” blow almed at his hend, lunged for- I ward and slashed viclously at the b young man’s abdomen. The latter drew back a step, doubled like a jack- knife, and brought his cane down § viciously across the knuckles of his assailant’s right hand. “So it Is thou, son of a pig,” he called pleasantly in Spanish. *“I fool- ed you that time, didn’t I?” he added in English. “Thought I would aim for your head, didn’t you?” The blow temporarily paralyzed the assassin’s hand; he dropped the knife, | and as he stooped to recover it with his left hand, the young man, before retreating from Pop-eye, kicked Puck-, er-eye in the face and quite upset him. | “Stop it!” shouted Webster. | Pop-eye turned his head at-the out- ery. The man he was attacking fell into the position of a swordsman en zarde, and thrust viciously with the ferrule at the face of the pop-eyed man, who, disregarding Webster’s approach, seized the cane in his left band and with a quick, powerful tug actually arew his victim toward him a foot be- fore the latter let go the stick. Before he could give ground again Pop-eye was upon him. He grasped the young man by the latter’s left arm and held him. while he drewy back for the awful disembowiling stroke. As his long arm sped forward the hook of John Stuart Webster's heavy cane descended upon that flexed arm in the crook of the elbow, snagging it cleverly. The knife never reached its destina- tion! “You would, would you?” said Web- | ster reproachfully, and jerked the fel- | low violently around. The man he had rescued promptly struck Pop-cye a terrible blow in the face with his left hand and broke loose from the grip | that had so nearly been his undoing; then Webstér tapped the assassin n meditative tap or two on the top of his sinful_head for good measur¢ and to awaken in him some sense of the fm- propriely and futility of resistance, after which Webster turned to dis- cuss a similar question of cthics with Pucker-eye. The scar-cheeked man was on his khees, groping groggily for his knife, for he had received a severe kick un- der’ the chin, and for the nonce was far from dangerous. Stooping, \\'eb-‘ ster picked up the knife; then with knife and cane grasped in his left hand he seized Pucker-eye by the nape with his right and jerked him to his feet. The assassin stood glowering at | him in a perfect frenzy of brutish, in- articulate fury. | “Take the knife away from the| other fellow before he gets active | again,” Webster called over his shoul- der. “I'll manage this rascal. We'll| march them over to the market and | turn them over to the police.” He spoke in Spanish. | “Thauks, ever so much, for my life,” fhe Young man answered lightly, and | in English, “but where I come from it is not the fashion to settle these argu- | mentsin a court of law. To ecall an » ‘oflicer ‘is’ considered unclublike; to slioot a prisoner in this country is congidered wurder, and consequent] I have but one alternative and I advise | vou, my.good friend, to have a little of the same. I'm going to run like the | devil.” And he did. He was in full flight before Webster could glance around, and in an instant he was lost to sight . { among the trees. “That advice sounds eminently fair and reasonable,” Webster velled after him, and was about to follow when he observed that the young man had abandoned his pretty little silver- chased walking stick. “Thays too nice n_liftle stick o | which he tarried not upon the order of -{ | speed. . had blunted the edge of romance. He o SR | leave to these brigands,” he thought, |j and forthwith possessed himself of it | and the pop-eyed man's knife, after ; his going but went, departing at top | The young man he had saved from | being butchered was right. An en- tangling alllance with the police was, | decidedly, /ot to John Stuart Web- ster's liking, for should he unfortus nately, form such an alliance, he would : be haled into court as a witness and perhaps miss the steamer to San Buenaventura. | He had planned to spend an hour’in | the market, drink a cup of chfe nolr,,l smoke a cigarette, and return to his', hotel in time for a leisurely breakfast, Imm but his recent bout with grim reality i ordered his driver to take him back to | ¥ o7y THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ! yu r } Advertisements in this colu}r\fi éost ONE CENT per word for FIRST CLASS[}‘IEDD ENT INSERTION and HALF CENT per word for subsequent consecutive Cash must accompany copy.

The bride is the whole cast. In a divorce action in Louisiana, in which defendant denied he was the man who had married! plaintiff, and his identity with the, bridegroom was in issue, the court says: “The only evidence introduced by the defendant in support of his de- nial that it was he who married plain- tiff in Indianapolis on October 9, 1911, was ‘the testimony of the Pro- bate judge who performed the cere- | mony and that of the proprietor of the | Imperial hotel. The Probate judge: and the proprietor of the Imperial; hotel both testified that they had iden- titied the plaintiff as soon as she had spoken to them when they stepped off ihe train in New Orleans; and from that circumstance, counsel for defendant argue that the Probate Judge and the proprietor of the hotel would surely have been able to identi- fy the defendant if he were the in- dividual to whom plaintiff was mar- rled by the judge in presence of the ! hotel proprietor. We do not think so. With due respect for his honor, the Probate judge, and for the proprietor of the Imperial hotel, it may be that the Dbride attracted more attention than the groom.” — From West's Docket.

In many countries some flower is taken as the national emblem. The French claim the fleur de lis, the Scotch the thistle, and the wattle be- | longs entirely to Australia; the maple leaf is the national emblem of Canada, as the fern leaf is of New Zealand. But the most familiar of all is haps the red rose of England. Ev one has heard of the Wars of Roses. There is no more typically ! English flower than the rose; and yet most English roses have come from China or from the East. The eculti- vated rose, however, in its hundreds of varieties—bush roses, climbing. scrambling, rambling roses, dwarf roses—is typlcally English. 'Twas Ever Thus.
