In was early and I selected a. place not. far from the curtain from behind ifhich the performers were to enter the mug. Presently the curtain was pushed aside and a Mephiscolean-looking personage ap- peared. The man next to me said it was Senor Espada, the king of swordsmen, add- -ng : “It’ 5 down 9!; the bill that he’Ll cut apples in two on the palm of a man 5 hand, and then on the fellow 3 head. It; 11 take a. plugky devil to hold them for him._"’ Suddenly I thought. “Why not go in '2" I had half a dollar’s change from the Mex- ican piece. It was all I possessed in the world, but I reflected with a, kind of savage triumph I should not need money to-mor- row and why not seek distraction during the intervening hours. His majesty seemed in a. bad humox. He cast. his eyes over the group of men nearest to him and said, with a. Spanish accent: I could not stay in my cheerless room alone with my gloomy thoughts. I went out and found myself following the motley throng that made its way to the show. It was moonlight and for some time I hung around the tent watching the people as they come 11;} to the entrance. “Friends, my assistant has, as you say, struck. I cannot perform the most inter- esting of the sword feats unless some one will volunteer to hold the apples. I will give $20 to whoever will do it.” U There was a. commotion around me, but so thrilling had been the descriptions of the dangers attending the feat and such the reports of the diabolical temper of the swordsman that no one responded. His glance fastened on me. I supposed in would be said nowadays that he hypnotized Why shouldn’t I do it, I thought. I was on the point of taking my own life, and if Senor Espada. should save me the trouble, so much the better. \Vhat matter to me if the sword should go an eighth of an inch too far 1 “I’m your man, pard!”I cried starting up. “Ah, very good!” he exelaimed with a, bow of thanks and an insinuating smile. “I,'..will call you. un when I come out.” '1 reached this determination quite calm- ly. I cursed myself for not having done so amid the wilds, instead of struggling back to the semi-civilization of the miserable town. You say my troubles had begun to affect my brain. Very probably ; no man can be in his right mind who seriously med- itates suicide. “Such is the way of the world! At least the next twelve hours are provided for!” I soliloquized bitterly. “And to- morrow? Well, to-morrow I will shoot myself!” As it would be foolhardy to continue the journey afoot, I decided to return by the way I had come. At nightfall I reached the town I had left the atternoon before. It was all astir. A travelling show was to give a performance that evening. By chance there remained in the depths of one of my pockets 9. Mexican gold piece which I had carried for years as a hansel. This paid for my supper and lodging at the log house tavern. The landlord insisted upon payment in advance, although I had ex- pended a round sum upon all the extras at his command during my recent sojourn there. He listened callously to the story of my misfortunes and made me understand that he could not accommodate me after the _nex_t morning. I oil'st thyself on the ground again, buried my face in my hands, and gave vent to my despair. Long after the first paroxysm of rage and despondency had spent itself, I lay there. Finally, feeling the need of food, I got up and foreged about. Amid the debris near the place where the fire had been, I found some crusts of bread and a canteen half full of water. In 111 neces- gity, I was thankful for even this heggarly farâ€"e; Gone! The camp was deserted. My horse had vanished, likewise my money. The dreadful truth confronted me. The villians had leftme alone in the wilderness, penniless and without the means of over- taking my friends. ‘ ' At dusk, however, I came upon a. camp. Around the fire were a. group of men, who with rough cordiality welcomed me to their evening meal. The supper was washed down with plenty of strong drink, and under its influence the blue devils which had beset me departed. I grew genial, and when later a little game 0 poker was pro- posed I readily assented, for I prided my- self upon my skill~ in that line. 7 Well, sir, I layed as it the fiend was urging me on. he luck was dead against me, but I became reckless. I staked every dollar I owned, and saw all raked in by the sharpers. I put up my horse and my wapch, and lost them. value, the gang stop ed playing, and left me to sleep 03 the e ects of the wretched liquor. When I awoke, the sun had been up several hours. My head ached tremend- ously, and seemed to be swollen to twice its normal size. I had a confused notion that something had gone wrong, but what was it? Gradually the events of the night before came back to me. I started up. Where were my jolly companions? WHen the silver fever began I was un- married and bent upon picking up a for- tune somewhere around the globe. I had had ill-luck so far, and the speculations in which I had risked not only my own money, but some thousands belonging to my widowed mother, had turned out badly. Having just enough cash left to pay the expenses ot the journey and buy a horse, I went out to Nevada and joined a party of the boys bound for the mines. We started over the mountains, but I soon became mighty glum. After some days I was obliged to call a halt. My old enemy, asthma, got a grip on me, and one night when we reached a straggling town on the trail, I said: “Boys, you’ll have to go on without me ; I’m all broke up 2” The next morning they reluctantly started off, chargin me to catch up with them the fol- lowing ay at a point where they intended prospecting for ore. I was too ill to do so, and it was a week before I set out again, more low-spirited than ever. When I reached the place there was no trace of them. They had evidently been disappoin d in their expectations and gone on, no oubt concluding that their silent comrade had abandoned the enter- My opinion is, if a. suicide does not kill himself outright, as soon as he realizes that his self-inflicted injuries are mortal, he be- comes possessed by a despairing wish that his rash deed were undone, and piteously longs to live. I feel that I understand what I am talk- in about, for I was once within an ace of ta ing my own life.

I sprang up with a new energy. Had I not youth and strength and the world be- fore me ‘2 All day I strove to devise a plea for going on to the mines. The landlord: was obsequious again. I had the where- with to pay for my present entertainment, and the fame of my exploit had made a hero of me. It seemed the swordsman seldom actually performed the last] feat, since only at rate intervals could be found a. dare-devil like myself willing to run the risk of being be- headed. The story of the insubordinate assistant was a. fiction. I got back'to the tavern. Having reach- ed my room, I fell on my knees, as I had been wont to do in childhood and early youth. “My God,” I cried, “how wicked I have been b0 think of lightly castingaway the priceless boon of existence which Thou dost grant me 3” I prayed as I had not prayed in years. Then I flung myself upon the bed and sank into a deep sleep. The draught which the senor had ordered for me must heve contained a. sedative, for I did not awake till late in the morning. I drank it down. It was a strange liquor, but it revived the palsied pulses of my heart. The senor put a twenty dollar gold' piece into my hand. My impulse was to, toss it back to him. I had not thought of the paltry bribe when I agreed to help him, and I would not go through the ex- perience again for a. thousand such. 0!: segond thought I pocketed the coin. The swordsman put his hand upon my shoulder and bade me rise. I did so me. chsnically. I could hardly see, but. I vs: dimly conscious that a crowd of excited people were calliqg and spamp_i_x_1g_az_nd w_av: No, the tfioisture was but the clamm, sweat caused by the mental anguish through which I had passed. A cracked mirror in the dressing-room assured me there was not even a scratch. An attendant poured something from a flask and handed it to me in a small glass. _ ing bandana. handkerchief; Halli-dazed. I followed the senor behind the curtain. My neck was wet. I put up my hand expect- ing to find blood. I was sure it must be cuf, so plainly had I felt the keen blade. At; that filament. my insane despair left me. I saw how precious life is. I became ssessed with a. fierce desire to live; to 've even if abandoned by all the world, i! bereft of everything but the blessed sun- shine and the sweet air of heaven. A fear- ‘, ful conviction forced itself upon me that the uwordsmnn’: daring experiment would 'prove my decth. Only the dread of being, branded a coward prevented me from cry. ' g out, from springin up and declaring he should not proceed. he efiort to remain motionless was a. frightful strain upon my’ nerves. Never she] I forgg the ordeal.

My arm fell to 11) side, a. darkness came before my eyes, ut, by the applause, I knew the apple had been cut in twain. The senor beamed upon me. “Bravo l” he whispered. “Now kneel.” I did so, and bent my head. He put another apple on my neck. My situation was terribly perilous, for ii his hand should slip or tremble in the least degree, or if I should shrink or stir I could hardly escape decapitation. I did so: He set the apple upon it. His sword was a. beautiful weapon, with jewel- ed hilt and a glitterin blade inscribed with Arabic characters. Hi made a. few rapid passes with it. ’Twas as if forked light- ning played about me. Involuntarily I shivered, but I persuaded myself that the shudder was caused by the chilliness of the air, since I did not care what the result of thenedveuture might be. The’slio'w‘ Began. It was a. sort of country circus, dime museum and Bufl'alo Bill per- formance on a. small scale. , I waited the advent of the swordsman with the utmost imperturbability. At last he up cured and summoned me. I ad’vanced and nonchalantly faced the spectators. He glanced at me approvingly and a little curiously as he told me to ex- tend my righ_t_ arm and open my hand.
