At supper time a dispute arose between two men, and before anyone had looked upon it as a serious matter they were facing cach other with knives in_their hands, says a writer in the New York Sun.

Iive minutes more and still no sound. The scars which those men had exhib- ited in the firelight were proofs of their courage. The hut was not a large one. One should have found the other in the first five minutes. *Boys, they are afraid of each other!” shouted Big Carter when the watch showed they had been inside twenty minutes. 1 reckon we'd jest better have them one and—" *Sh!" interrupted a man who had crept close to the door. ‘*‘Ah listen!
