A TALE OF T4111 WEST..
It's all according to where a man as.
If you lose your character in the east;, it
is a good thing to go west, either with
the wttslt to regain it, or the desire to be
in a place where lost cl}a,racters are not
of mucin account, But"there is such a
thing as getting a character in titre west
which necessitates either your going
further west, or going east to lose your-
self fn a crowd.
There's a good deal of probability that
the elder Sam Flood went back to New
York because he found the west, as he
knew it, a great deal too hot to hold
him. For young Sam. when he in after
years went west, heard strange tales
about a certain Sam Flood. He didn't
know fqr dead certain whether it was
his father or not. Too much time had
passed to identify him by lookn, end the
old man had kept his own counsel. But
the Sam Flood that young Sam heard of
was a very bad man indeed. .He was
something like Ben Thompson, who
would shoot an unarmed man. He was
pretty near as bad as Wes' Harding, who
aroused public opinion to the terrific ex-
tent of putting him in the penitentijary
when 11e shot a man in his sleep. That was
going too far, even for the people round
about Galveston in those, days. Flood
was such a man. He had killed seven -
and a great many more ; but young Sam
knew nothing of this. Ile had no abso-
lute knowledge of it. It was only a sort
of "kinkle" as they would have put it -
just a notion on his part. And when he
got west, he wasn't at first particularly
anxious to claim acquaintance with the
memory of a border ruffian such as this
Sant Flood must have beer, for fear he
might let the old man in for something.
But he knew that his father was a man
of a strange character. Though living
in a pretty tough part of New York, he
had never carried arms.
"I reckon." said old Flood, "I won't
put temptation in my way."
His son had heard him say that ; and
there was something in olcit Flood's voice,
and his manner, and his trick of looking
-iris eye -that prevented people at-
tempting to jump upon him. 13ut he
brought his family up in a God-fearing
way ;- that is, he taught them religion.
Occasionally he laid especial stress on
the Sixth Commandment. In the light
of after experience and inward know-
ledge of himself, young Flood began to
understand. Once, when he was no
more than
a boy of 15, he came across
an old bowie -knife in a boxin his
father's house. Boy -like. he . took the
weapon out and delighted to handle it.
He noticed seven notches on the butt.
He showed it to his father, and asked
for an explanation. There was a curious
gleam in the old man's eye ; he seemed
to grow brighter and more alert.
"Belonged to an old pardnerof mine,"
said Flood ; "he gave it me when he
died."
That was not strictly trict true. He didn't
y
give it him when he di
ed•Flood t
ook it
when he was dead -which is a different
thing. The oth er man had died of ex-
posure, as the WAstern jury said -ex-
posure to bullets. They were Flood'.s
bullets. But Flood took the weapon fhom
his boy, and hid it -young Saran never
saw it again till he was 17.
Now, it is the way with boys in
America to get up and "get" at a certain
age -or at any age when they find
parental authority and family restraint
a little too much for them. Their pals
can always put them up to beating a
train out of New York, and they start to
go west. The courage of some of them
petes" long before they get to the mid-
dle States -the west looks too big, and
too wide. They conclude to stay where
they have got to. or go back.
But Sam was persistent; he went right
forward. He had two dollars and the
notched bowie -knife. After two months'
train -beating and grub begging, and
sleeping in culverts and box -cars, he
landed up in Texas, having done very welt
indeed. He ran the whole dis-
tance through to Chicago at one
flight. But got "laid off" on leaving
Chicago at Hannibal, but, he went
over the whole K. and T. without a
hitch, and got to Fort Worth, finally
landing at Painted Rock, in the south of
the "Pan Handle"; and there he went to .
work on a cattle ranch. He started
right in as a cowboy, and he picked it up
well. He was smart on horseback from
the word "go," and he even had a notion
of holding on when they gave him a
back -jumper -at any rate, he didn't
come off quite so soon as the "tender-
foot" usually does, and in a few months
he was a very fair rider indeed. As he
rode around on his pony, with his mes-
quite leggings on, he began to think he
was a man. He began to feel that he
was somebody -began to think he had
arrived, had got there. He didn't feel
so crushed as he did in the East. He
had got room to spread, for in the East,
whether it be the American East or more
east still, human beings are like a bag of
sea anemones, mere slush of humanity,
with no individuality and no beauty
about them. But in the West, the open
West, where a man is not so crowded
and the law is not so oppressive, there's
a certain reasonable chance of being
yourself, provided you have got any
money or any natural capabilities for
taking other people's without asking for'
it.
This was what young Sam Flood
began to feel. Like other cowboys, he
always carried a six-shooter; he had an
ivory -handled• one. He called it ivory --
an expert would have known it for bone.
But he was not so proud of that as he
was of his bowie -knife. He loved that
dearly, and he liked to run his thumb-
nail rattling down the seven notches of
it. He was proud of the old man, tor he
knew his name was famous.
It is a curious thing in that west -but
I have watched it grow -how a desire
to slay comes to a Man, So soon as he
reverts to those plains, his soul goes
back to the time when slaughter wait the
whole duty of man. Out there there is
no other means of immediate notoriety;
and noto iety in thswelt is the breath of
life. Among the young men as they
sit by tho firs and tell stories --of the
bloody deeds of the Jameses, or of Ben
Thompson,• or Hardin 'or even repeat

There was a little talk at times in the
camp about Floud, when lie was not
there. They didn't quite like; at least,
all of them did not. For there was a
curious look in Itis eyes. ' He was a little
bit dangerous; he NV/15 not quite open.
"I don't think he could fight," Said one
of the boys, "but he'd kill a man quick
enough, I reckon."

kill no one -lie ain't got it in him."
"I don't know." sail another. "Iiave

"'That's so," said Gardiner; "I guess
I've Veen it, but not in a man like
Flood,"
""It's inoslly in men like Flood," said
the other.
But Flood never 1:uew how they talk-
ed about him. Ile was always talking
to his knife; he W118 Silent 10 them,
But one day, when ho and Gardiner
were out together, and had a bit of a
"homey,' Gardiner Inst his self-control,
and called Flood rather an ugly name -
for Flood had run up against 11th1 when
they were Loth after at ruuaway steer.
Flood said nothing, but he trent away
talking. When he grew silent lie
listened to his knife. When ttvo are in
partnership, and one is a car and the
other bold, it will take at long tines to
come to a fair conclusion. And though
Gardiner forgot it and spoke kindly, as
kindly as the western' wind -for he had
a Lind enough heart -Flood held ;tie
memory of that naive within his own
dark h eart, and took counsel, he and his
knife. And he often followed Gardiner
about with his eyes. Ile hungered to
kill him. The desire of homicide was
growing up in him strong -it was no
longer general, but particular. He had
no spite against the race, but a spite
against one man. And it was one man
he needed, otie man that notch traded
fot--one notch over the Clue tally of re-

And as he sat eating fit front of the
other cowboy, the strength came back to
him. Arid GardInir caught his eye and
wondered at it, for he could not wider
stand, There was a strange look in the
young fellows face. The look -wits far-
off, and his lips moved at tirnes ars if lie
was talking to someone or to something.
"What's up?" said Gardiner; and
Flood looked at him again.
And then Gardiner understood.
But he was lance, his leg was nearly
broken, and he had left his six-shoot.x
in his belt in the little tent -it wus ten
yards away. So Gardiner looked down,
and said coolly:
"I wonder when tide other boys are
coming back? About time for them to
turn'up I should think, if they ain't

Flood sat there with the knife in his
hand. Ile had stopped eating, and was
muttering, and his right arm twitched,
and his hand Closed tight on the handle
of the bowie.
"Lend us your knife," said Gardiner.
Anil Flood rose up.
Ile took it in his left hand as though
he would hand it handle foremost to
Gardiner. But as he handled it he saw
the notches, anti he ran his thumb -nail
down them again -and there was still
the empty one -the unnamed notch.
And the next moment he hawed it

ness, Orkney, a halibut of extraordivary
oimeusions. measuring six feet ten
inches in length and weighing res less
than 245 pounds. The fish was discover-
ed by two lads. It was observed on the
Rand apparently asleep, and as they had
no appliances with there with which to
attempt a capture they returned home
to acquaint their lather. Armed with a
kind of harpoon. to which a lituewa8 at-
tached, 11.ey Evert back to the place and
found the huge fish had not moved.
Carefully watching an oppohtunity, the
father succeeded in planting the harpoon
in tl,e Lack of the halibut. The Weapon
entered the spine and rendered the tisk
powerless, but on account Of its size and
weight it wee only after considerable dif-
ficulty that it was got 9n board. 1t
proved a splendid specimen of the hali-
but and was in a first-rate condition. In
its stomach was -found a variety of small
fish, which weighed upward of six
pounds. It was at once carefully pack-
ed and despatched by steamer and rail to
the London market -Loudon Field.

It., may not be generally known that
Paris is the great postage stamp market
of the world, and that there are rnore
men who gloat over a black Bermuda, or
go into ecstasies over ayellow something
else, than in any other capital. There is
a. regular Bourse held every Thursday
arid Sunday in a corner of the Champs
Elysees, where hundreds of men, wolrien,
and boys congregate with their packages
of statnps for ea a and exchauge. there
ie almost as big a gabble of tongues go-
ing on there as at the regular Bourse,and
so great has the throng become that the
authorities contemplate roofing in that
particular part. It is said that thotirunds
of francs change hands there every mar-
ket day.
