' to much. They are great in the, per- sonal reminiscence way, and eau drink deeply with im.plialty,,or with any one who invites them ; but 111other res- pects thorn -me generally of the class described as frauds. Wild Will, how- ever, was one of the few .whose deede overshadow their words. Ms supreme courage and physical strength bad endeared him to the rough miners and cowboys, who regarded him as a. he- ro, and rendered his name a word of terror to every red mau west of the great Allesouri. Custer City lies in the Deadwood region of the famous Black Hills, and is pleasantly situated in an open park, hemmed in on all -shiest by gradually rising bills, rock-ribbed, and crested with dark towering pines. . At the time of which I write the streets were regularly laid out; and the buildings elderly constructed of logs or rough boards taken from the ailastde for- ests, might be roughly estimated at about one thousand in number. It looked. like a promise of good tliings „ to ; but the gtI reater attracons, of Deadwood nipped it in the bud, and, from a mining town, Custer sank into a centre for supplies.

The:God of Caster wets whisky, and his temples in the slaape Of saloons were in every Street, The principal one of these was kmrt by High -priest Moriarty, An Irishman, red-headed, red -armed, and red-h0t. The crowd had assembled at Moriarty'safter mining hours in order to drink ana Me the fun. 'Caere was a seuffle in the large bar -room. A sligbtly-built lad of not more than eighteen or twenty years of age, Was struggling in the vice -like gram') 01 a muscular, brutal - looking miner of twice his age. It was plainly only a ques tion of min- utes when the .burly ruffian would Crush WS' youthful opponent. But before the older man could free him- self from his delicate -looking but agile antagonist, the youngster got in a nasty blow, drawing streams of aftood from his opponent's face. The throng laughed at this. Stung by the, sound of mockery, the irritated reeinient, quick as lightning, drew a pletol from his belt and levelled it. The lad's Sete seemed certain. At this moment some one stepped swiftly through the half - open door, laid his hand upon the it l ' rawny desperado's shoulder, and, Othreat apparent effort, sent him cling aye the farther end of the bar. 'Wild Will!' The words ran in whis- pered admiration round the room. The miners clustered more closely to- gether; the more timid, or, nossibIy, more prudent, of Moriarty's custom- ers withdrew. There was certain to be some free shooting after what had occurred, and both parties were re- puted handy with their shooting -irons. The new -comer stood some six feet two inches in height. and was exceed- ingly powerfully built His face was open and highly intelligent; his flax- en hair fell in long thick ringlets up- on his broad shoulders; his eves, blue and laughing in expression, looted ono straight in the' face while he spoke; and his thin, closely -compressed lips were partly covered by a heavy blonde moustache. Ile seemed such a one as women and cbildren Would instinct- ively cling to in the moment of dan- ger. This hero, who appeared strangely out of place in a Western bar -room, wore a costume which was a curious combination of the attire of a prairie entriger with that of a f ash- ienable" dandy. From underneath the skirts of his elaborately embroidered buckskin coat gleamed the butts of a pair of silver -mounted revolvers, whieh were his inseparable companions. • The bully speedily recovered him- self. Staggering to his feet, ire started back toward his assailant, oaly to re- coil with dismay from the dark Muz- zle 'of a ievolver, and the calm mis- dhievons eye which gleamed coldly and Cruelly behind it, `Drop that shoot - in' iron at once, sireea The pistol fell With a erealtuaon'the TUE WA.TERLO 0 MUTUAL FIRE INSTYEANO EC 0 .

Meanwhile Wild Will and his friend Colonel Conley had been talking to- gether in a low tone. The Colonel was a Virginian, and therefore a gentle- man. He had ren service, having been severely wounded under Beauregard, at the battle of Bull Rim. Like an old war-horse, lie felt his blood quicken at the prospect of a fight, Wild Will was speaking. He said : `I scarcely know what to suggest. Colonel. You understand these mat- ters as -well as I do; only be good enough to consult me- before deciding anything, for I should not like to take a mean ,advautage of CVCII such a coy- ote as Colorado Jack.' `Let your mind be easy, my friend,' answered the old soldier; 'your in- terests will not euffer in my hands.' - just then the Mexican, Chnckhalter. sheepishly approached and requested an interview with the Colonel on be- half of his principal This was imme- diately granted, and Wild Will with- drew.

'He must do So,' tespondea the Mexican, 'or else ;rack will publicly cowhide him irto. dog's -meat' tuslu Don't rave. Jack woula not dare do any such thing. However, just wait half a minute.' The colonel unceremoniously ntljeurned the meeting in order that he might confer with Wild. Will. The prineipal listened in silence until Ids second hae concluded; theu decisively shaking his heral, he said: 'No, old friend; it wouldn't do at all; I must ref esae The colonel, with a loolc ol surprise, fell back: Hall lee, after all, over -rated Wild Will's courage?

Colorado Jnek, with aldie face and trembling limbs, threw himself upon the sward and thrust his arm into the a whit orifice. Wild 31111, haring firet lighted a cigar, calmly renewed his opponent's example. So the two remained lot' the space of half an hour. The two seconds meanwhile looked on, quietly smoking as only Western men can and do. At length the allotted time expired. The signal was givemand Wild Will rose calm- ly to his feet. Colorado Jack did not Stir. When they raised him he was dead. Yet his arm was munpred. How do you suppose it was, part- ner?' inquired a, miner the next day of the Mexican. Chuckhalter.
