What the Colonel's business was nobody knew, nor did anybody care particularly. He purchased for cash only, and never grumbled at the price of anything he wanted. Who could ask more than that! Curious people occasionally wonder- ed how, when it had been fully two years since the Colonel, with every one else, abandoned Dutch Creek to the Chinese, he managed to spend money freely and to lose considerable at cards and horse races. In fact, the keeper of that one of the Challenge Hill saloons that the Colonel did not patronize was once heard to wonder, absent-mindedly, whether the Colonel hadn’t & money mill somewhere where he turned out eagles and ‘‘slugs” (the coast name for fifty-dollargold pieces). ‘When so important a personage as a barkeeper indulged publicly in the idea the inhabitants of Challenge Hill, like good Californians every- where, considered themselves in duty bound to give it grave cousideration: 80 for a few days certain industrious professional gentlemen, who won money of the colonel, carefully weighed some of the brightest pieces and tested them with acids, and sawed them in two, and retired them, and melted them up, and had the lumps assayed. The result was a complete vindica- tion of the colonel, and a loss of con- siderable custom to the indiscreet barkeeper. The colonel was as good-natured a man as had ever been known on Chal- lenge Hill, but being mortal, the colo- nel had his occasional times of de- spondency, and one of them occurred after a series of races in which he had staked his all on his bay mare Tipsie, and had lost. Looking reproachfully at hisbeloved animal he failed to heed the aching void of his pockets, and drinking deeply, swearing eloquently and glar- ing defiantly at all, mankind were oqually unproductive.of coin. The boys at the saloon sympathized most feelingly with the colonel. They were unceasing in their invitations to drink, and they exhibited consider- able Christian forbearance when the colonel savagely dissented from every one who advanced any proposition, no matter how incontrovertible. But unappreciated sympathy grows decid- edly tiresome to the giver, and it was with a feeling of relief that the boys saw the Colonel stride out of l{o saloon, mount Tipsie and gallopjfuri- ously away. Riding on horseback has always been considered an excellent sort of exercise. Riding is universally ad- mitted to be one of the most healthful means of exhilaration in the world, but when a man 18 8o absorbed in this exercise that he will not stop to speak to his friend, and when his exhilara- tion is s0 complete that he turns his eyes from all well-meaning thumbs Jointing significantly into doorways, through which a man has often passed while seeking bracing influences, it is only natural that people should ex- press some wonder. The Colonel was well known at Toddy Flat, Lone Hand, Blazer's, Murderer's Bar, and several other vil- lages through which hepassed. As no one had been seen to precede him, betting men were soon offering odds that the Colonel was running away from somebody Strictly speaking they were wrong, but they won all the woney that had been staked against them, for within half an hour there passed over the same road an anxious-looking indi- vidual, who reined up in front of the principal saloon of each place and in- quired if the colonel had passed. Had the gallant celonel known that he was followed and by whom, there certainly would have been an extra election held at the latter place very shortly after, for the pursuer was the constable, and for all ofticers of the law the colonel possessed hatred. On galloping away the colonel fol- lowed the stage road, which threaded the old mining camps on Dutch creek, but_suddenly he turned out of the road and urged his horse through the youngeat pines and bushes which grew thickly by the road, while the consta- ble rode on to the next camp, There seems to be no path through the thicket into which the Colonel had turned, but Tipsic walked between the trees and shrubs as if they were fa- miliar objects of his stable-yard. Suddenly a voice from the bushes shouted: “‘What's up?" “‘Business— that's what.' “It’s time,” replied the voice, and its owner—a bearded six-footer— emerged from the bushes of an old acquaintance, ““We ain’t had a nip since last night, and there ain't a cracker or » handful of flour in the shanty. The old gal gone back on yer”' ,"" replied the Colonel, ruefully; ory blasted race. 'T'wasn’t her fault, bless her, she done her | level best.

After about half an hour Perkins, who wasleading, halted, and wiped his perspiring brow with his shirt sleeve. ‘‘Fur enough from home now,” said he, “'Taint no use being a gentleman if yer have to work too hard.” “Safe enough, I reckon,” replied the colonel. ‘‘We'll do the usual; T'll halt ’em; Logroller, tend to the driver; Cranks, take the boot, and Mack and Perk, take right and left. An’ T know it'sjtough—but coasider ing how_everlastin’ etornal hard up we are, I rackon we'll have toask con tributions from the ladies, too, e there’s any abroad; eh, boy?” “‘Reckon so,” replied Logroller, with a chuckle that seemed to inspirc even his black domino with a merr, wrinkle or two; “‘what's the use ol women's rights ef they don’t ever have « chance of exercis'n 'em; havin’ their purses borrowed 'ud show em the ful doctrine in a bran new light.” ‘‘Come, come, boys,” interpose the eolonel, “‘thar’s the crack of Ol Black’s whip; pick up your bush quick! and jump when I whistle.” i Each man secreted himself by th roadside. The stage was swingin; along handsomely, those inside wers laughing heartily at something ani Old Black was just giving a delica® touch to the flank of the off leadel,| when the Colonel gave a shrill, quick whistle and five men sprang into ths road. The horses stopped as suddenly as if it were a matter of common occur- vence. Old Black dropped the reins, crossed his legs and stared into the sky, and the passengers put out their heads with a rapidity equaled only by that with which they withdraw them a8 they saw the dominoes and revol- vers of the road agents. ‘“Seems to be something the mat- ter, gentlemen,” said the Colonel. blandly, as he opened the door. “Won't you please get out? Don't trouble yourself to draw, cos my friend here's got his weapon cocked an’ his finger's rather nervous, Ain't gota handkerchief, hev yes?’ he asked of the first passenger that descended frem the stage. “Hey! Well, now that's luck. Just put your hands behind yer s0; that's it.” And the unfortu- nate man’s hands were securely tied behind him in an instant. The remaining passengers were treated with similar courtesy, and the Colonel and his frieids examined the pockets of the captives. Old Black remained unmolested, for whoever heard of a stage-driver having any money’ ‘“‘Boys,” said the colonel, calling his brother agents aside and calling receipts, ‘‘tain’t much of a haul; but there’s only one woman, and she's old enough to be a feller's grand- mother.” “Like enough she'll pan out more than all the rest of the stage put to- gether,” growled Cranks, carefully testing the thickness of the case of a gold watch. *‘Just like the low-lived eceitfulness of some folks to hire an old woman to carry their money, so it'd go safer. Mebbe what she's got ain’t nothing to some folks that’s got good horses and ken win money at races but il The colonel abruptly ended the conversation and uipmwlmd the stage. He was very chivalrous, but Cranks’ sarcastic reference to Tipsie needed avenging, and as he could not consistently with business arrange- ments put an end to Cranks the only lady would have to suffer. ““I beg your pardon, ma'am,” said iha colonel, raising his bat with one hand while he drew open the coacl door with the other,” ‘‘but we're taking up a collection for some de- serving objects, We was goin' to make the gentlemen fork over the hull amount, but ez they ain’t got enough we will have to bother you.” The old lady trembled, felt for her pocketbook and raised her veil, I colonel looked into her face, the stage door and sitting on the hub of one of the wheels stared vacantly intospace. ‘‘Nothing?" queried Per- kins in & whisper and with a face full of genuine pathy. N id the Colonel dream- ily, 'hat is, untie 'em and let the stage o ahead,” he continued, spring- ing to his feet. “I'll hurry back to the cabin.” The Colonel dashed into the bushes and left his followers so paralyzed with astonishment that Old | Black afterward remarked that if there'd been anybody to mind the suddenly, found thomselves before a | their weapons, were unbound, allowed log hut, in front of which sat three|to enter the stage, and the door was solern, disconsolste individua's, who |slammed, {while | Colonel's par The Colonel was absent but a very |certain flasks they had obtained while each of the four was attired in pistol | cupants of the stage. ing some dominoes made from a rather fagents as they entered the ‘‘Better be an hour ahead than a | white shirt and a suit of clothing made miss in this ‘ere night,” said one of |from the limited spare wardrobe of the “T ain't so thirsty since I |ather mombers of the band, Somebody Il got [subordinated his wonder to his pru- hurt if there ain’t any bitters in the |dence as, lay old concern; they will, or my name |purse, he exclaimed: “Don’t count on yourchickens ‘fore [ pleasure; let's divide and scatter.

Somebody lend me $50 till I see him again.” Perkins pressed the money into the colonel’s hand, and within two min- utes the colonel was on Tipsie's back and galloping off in the direction the stage had takel He overtook he galloped on. The people of Mud Gulch knew the Colonel well, and made it a rule nover to be astonished at anything he did, but they made an exoeption to®the rule when the Oolonel canvassed the principal bar-rooms for men who wished to suy a horse, and when a gambler who was flush obtained Tipsie for twenty slugs—only $1,000—when the Colonel had always said there was not gold enough on top of the ground to buy her, Mud Gulch experienced a decided sensation. But when the Colonel, after re- maining in the barber shop for half an hour, emerged with his face clean shaved and his hair nicely parted, bot- ting was 80 wild that a cool-headed sporting man speedily made a fortune by betting against every theory that had been advanced. Then the colonel made a tour of the stores and fitted himself with a new suit of clothes, curefully eschew- ing all the gorgeous patterns and pro. nounced ¢>lors so deax to the heart of the average miner. He bought a new hat and put on a pair of boots, and pruned his finger nails, and stranger than all, he mildly declined all invi- tations to drink. As the Colonel stood at the door of the principal saloon, where the stage always stops, the Challenge Hill con- stable was seen to approach the Colonel and tap him on the shoulder, when all the men who Colonel was dodging somebody claimed the stakes. But those who stood near the Colonel heard the con- stable say: “Colonel, I take it all back, When 1 seed you go out to Challenge Hill it came to me that you might be in the road agent business. But when I seed you sell Tipsie 1 knew T was on the wrong trail. 1 wouldn't suspect you now if all the stages in the world was robbed; and I'll give you satis- faction any way you i passed it, and still t it." “Tt's all right,” said the Colonel, with a smile. The constable after- wards said that nobody had any ides how curiously the Colonel smiled when his beard was off. $uddenly the stage pulled up to the dopr with a crash, and the male pas- sesgers hurried into the saloon in a state of utter indignation and 1npe cupiosity. The story of Jie robbery attracted everybody, and during the excite- mant the Colonel slipped out quietly and opened the door of the stage, The old lady started and cried: li(igorge!” And the Colonel jumped into the stage and, putting his arm tenderly araund the trembling form of the old lady, exclaimed: *Mother!” graduated in medicine, but left a lnerative practice for my present profession, 40 years ago. 1 was formany years o suf ferer from quinsy; ‘Thomas Keleotric Oil cured me. | was also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas’ ways relieved me.
