Romance of a
Toy Pistol
Br WlLLAflD BLAKEMAN
During the ante-clvlllzatlon period,
when western manners were not so
polished as they are now, a man dress
?d In a checkerboard suit, a derby
hat and patent leather shoes entered a
gambling den In Nevada and stood
looking over a small game of poker
Not finding It especially Interesting, he
aauntered up to the bar and called for
a cigar.
Now. the apparel of the dtliens of
tho town consisted of a sombrero, a
flannel shirt, trousers held up by a
cartridge belt, to which were slung usu
ally two revolvers, and cowhide boots.
No such coetuuie as that worn by the
man In the checkerl?oard suit had ever
been seen In that region. In the east,
taking together the pattern of his
clothes and a clean shaven face, he
would have t>een set down at once ns
an actor; In the west, where thentrl
cals at that time were unknown, the
gentleman was a punle. Two men
who were drinking together at the oth
er end of the bar began to sit up and
take notice of the stranger.
"What do yon think It is. Jlmr said
one.
"Dunno, Pete. Reckon It's one o'
them baboons they hev in dime mu
veums In St. I/>uls or Kansas City
dressed up fancy."
"Reckon we'd better And out*
The curiosity at that moment had
lit his cigar and was turning away
Pete accofted him:
"See here, stranger, what kind of a
fame do they play on you. anyway V
"Checkers." said the smoker Imper
tnrbably.
^^Reckon y* hev to lay down, don't
"Oh, yes; I always lie down and let
'em play on my back. It'a rather tire
some, though. I have to lie quiet or
spill the checkers and knock the game
Into pL"
"Jesao. Do you carry a weepon un
der your coattallsT"
"Oh, yes. Why do you ask?"
"Well. I was thlnkln' when y" hev 1
nothln' to do y* might take off yer coat,
hang It up and see how many o' them
squares y* kin plunk. I .em me see yer
gun?"
The stranger put his hand under Ills
coat, pulled out a revolver of dlmlnu
five size and handed It to the man
Pete? who was firing the questions at
him, for examination. Pete took It,
laid It In the palm of his hand and
seemed very mnch amnsed.
"Cunnln', Isn't It?" he said "What's
It for?"
"Well. In Kansas City, where I come
from, there's several of us wear this j
kind of suits, and we all carry pistols
like thisi Whenever we meet on the
street we try to see who can put the
most bullets In the little squares worn
by the other fellow."
Pete cocked and uncocked the pistol
several time* evidently much pleased
with It, then, raising It, pulled the trig
ger and the cigar flew out of the check 1
erboard man's mouth. The shot at- ,
tracted the attention of almost every '
one in the place, who looked up to see ;
who had been killed They saw notb
ing more warlike than the stranger |
calling for another cigar, lighting i( I
and puffing away like a ferryboat ,
"It shoots ail right," said Pete, and
In a moment there was another shot,
and the second cigar spun around In
the air and fell on the floor somewhat
shattered.
"Now that you see how It shoots I
wouldn't do that any more." said the
checkerboard man. "It Isn't worth
while." He called for a third cigar
and while lighting it added: "If you're
bound to try it another time better do
It at longer range. Anythlng'll shoot
straight close up."
At the first remark Pete's brow dark
ened. At the second It cleared again
"All right; you go to the other end
o' the bar and I'll stand at this end."
"Done," said the stranger, and he
walked slowly toward the designated
place, his back being exposed to the
man with the pistol.
The Inmates of the saloon watched
for the result of this singular trial of
the efficiency of what they called a
toy gnn. The "target" walked with
the cigar In his mouth, while Pete held
the pUtol ready to fire as soon as he
should turn. As he was about to swing
round the stranger put his hand to the
back of his neck. When he was half
turned there was a crack, and the clgnr
followed Its predecessors. Rut almost
on the same instant, the checkerboard
man hating fntNl t>t?, bin hind flcW

tho Iwr, and Pole sank on the floor.

with the checkerboard man as he qatet

"By kiwi," exclaimed one. "that w?s

"Who la her
"Dunno."
Tho same afternoon several wagon*
containing the performera and para
phernalia of n show came Into town,
and at the flrst performance the man
