William Tripp's
Old Mother
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1913. by Associated Lit
erary Press.
William was wicked.
When I pick out on* man from a
mining camp made up of 300 run
aways, debt jumpers, cutthroats, gam
blers, horse thieves and murderers and
call him wicked I mean for the reader
to infer that he was right up and
down bad.
Which was exactly the case with
William Tripp.
Wicked! Well, he was that!
Such a swearer as William was! He
would begin as soon as his eyes were
open in the morning aud keep up a
steady tire until 10 o'clock at night.
And he was a cheat and a liar.
You wonder that we didn t run him
out or hang him.
Well, somehow we always intended
to. but always put It off to a more
convenient date. The success of
bouncing a man depends a good deal
on who the man is. On our first gen
tle hint to William Tripp that unless
he was packed up and out of camp iu
side of thirty minutes his anatomy
would be riddled with bullets he pro
duced a couple of revolvers, backed up
against the Red Eye saloon aud calm
ly observed that lie was aching for a
little excitement. I think his actions
at that particular time had something
to do witl our giving him the rope
and seeking to get along with his ec
centric traits of character.
"I move." said Elder Beacon one
night when we were talking about
William's bad ways, "that the com
mittee get the drop on iilm and thon
run him into the hills."
Just so. but who were the commit
tee? That was another point we could
never satisfactorily determine, and that
was another reason why W illiam cou
tinued to abide with us.
Shoot? Well, you never saw such an
eye and such uerve. Just as far as he
could see the bowl of a pipe in a man s
mouth he could smash it with a bullet.
Almost every hat in camp had an air
bole made by one of his bullets, and.
though 1 was prejudiced against Wil
liam. 1 had to admit that he respected
men's heads in shooting at their hats.
But there came a halt in William
Tripp's mad career, and it happened
in a queer way. A lire in his tent one
night burned up a lot of his traps, and
he had to make a ride of thirty miles
on Colonel Cooper's old mare to replace
tnem with new. The morning he rode
out of camp was the last time we saw
him, but we heard from a dozen dif
ferent ones just what happened. About
twelve miles from our camp was the
Overland trail, and just where our owu
trail struck in was a pretty little val
ley with plenty of water and wood, it
was a favorite camping spot with im
migrants. and the day William Tripp
reached it he found half a dozen wag
ons aud as many families halted for
a breathing spell.
The deviltry iu William's nature bub
bled over when lie struck fliat valley
and beheld such a scene of peace.
Children were playing around, women
were washing and mending, and the
brawny men were repairing wagons
and harness and whistling over their
work. William drew rein and gazed
upon the scene for a few minutes.
Then he out with his revolver. Seated
before one of the fires was an old wo
man with her knitting In hand and a
pipe in her month. It was a long shot,
but fae evil one urged William to try
It. aud try he did.
w imt liappeneu .
Something oven worse than murder
The bullet went straight for the old
woman's head and crashed into her
brnin Then something awful follow
ed. She rose to her feet, whirled
around to face the shooter, and true
as you live she seemed to look at him
for thirty seconds before she tottered
forward and shrieked out:
"William! Oh. my son William!"
Then she pitched forward 011 the
crass and was dead !:> a second, and
the red blood oozed out and made a
terrible stain on the green grass.
And William—what did he do? F!e
was like owe turned to stone. The old
woman's words plainly reached his
ears, and he must have recoguized her
face, in the awful moment in which
he sat paring at the corpse on the
grass it must have flashed across him
that his poor mother had made that
long journey with neighbors for no
other purpose than to hunt him up—he
the boy who had left her years ago
nud had been the subject of her nigbt
ly prayers ever siuce. Wicked as he
was he must have felt her devotion
and sacrifices.
And then?
lie sat there in his saddle, his eyes
fastened on his mother's corpse, and
tha revolver still in his hand. The sit
uation had petrified him. While he sat
thus one of the immigrants, who. be
lieving that the camp was to be at
tacked by a force, leveled his rifle
over the wheel of the wagon and sent
a bullet plowing through William's
heart.
Ah. well: it's years and years ago.
and the twin graves in the valley have
long since been trampled out of sight,
and White Dog Diggings can be found
no more, but the day the news of that
awful tragedy came back to us we
dropped spade and pick and could
work no more for the day. And after
a long period of silence among the
men, who had instinctively gathered
around Jutige Desire to hear his opin
ion. the judge arose and said:
"Feller citizens, the wicked don't live
out half his days, and don't you for
git it!"
the ins!
ARE VEERING
Peking, Jan. 6—A startling and
significant illustration of tile way
in which the deposed Manchus are
gradually veering toward a hearty
support of the republican regime is
the recently announced attitude of
the deposed boy emperor and his
advisors in regard to Mongolia.
President Yuan and his cabinet
have bean moving heaven and earth
to prevent Russia from getting a
grip on Outer Mongolia. While the
Bear of the North has had all the
advantage thus far, the president is
still seeking a way out. Further,
he has explained himself as deter
mined that the Russian advance
shall not penetrate an inch into In
ner Mongolia, and the deposed Man
chus are said to be backing him up
to a man, as indicated by the follow
ing edict which His Majesty sent
recently *o Shan Yun, a former Chi
nese vieeroy of Mongolia who is now
an attendant at the court of the
"God-Emperor" at Urga:
"If you do not forget your duty
you will obey the instructions to
forsake the pseudo government at
Urga immediately. Unless you a
wake from your ignorance, disaster
will certainly overtake you."
CORROSIVE ACID BURNS.
If Splashed With Vitriol Plunge Into
Wat.er at Once.
A burn from sulphuric acid—vitriol,
as it is often called—Is one of the most
painful and disfiguring wouuds that
can be received. Sulphuric acid is the
tuost powerful of caustic liquids.
When it touches the tissues of the
body It disorganizes them rapidly, ex
hausting the water in them, coagulat
ing their albumen and changing the
nature of their salts, thus bringing
about a destruction that is sometimes
fatal. When the burnt place heals it
does so with a hideous scar, resembling
that of leprosy or lupus.
On being sploshed with vitriol there
is only one thing to do—rush for the
nearest water and plunge the burnt
member into it If the face be splash
ed it should be Instantly immersed in
a !k>w! or pail of water, or In a lake or
river if these be handy. The object is
to dilute the acid as quickly as pos
sible and so check its rapid corrosion
of the flesh, for If let alone it will eat
In to a great depth.
Having washed away the acid, cover
the wound at once with some alkali,
such as Jimewater or milk of magne
sia. If these are not obtainable suds
made from pure soap will do. Then
treat the wounds as ordinary burns
are treated If the mouth be burned it
should be rinsed out with water, fol
lowing this with Hmewater or milk of
magnesia, which should be kept in the
mouth as long as possible.
A burn from ammonia, though not
nearly so serious as one from acid. Is
very painful. It should be treated
with a diluted acid wash made from
vinegar or the juice of a lemon or
lime. Afterward It should be coated
with jnim trajracantb or gum arabic.—
