[By Special A rrangem ent. -Copy right.] BALAAM, By MORGAN A. ROBERTSON. In came Sam. the freight-driver, a haa-dy, frank-faoed young Westerner. "Want to buy a good burro, Sa.m?" acted the landlord, as be served him at the bar. "Only seven dollars." "No." "Got a. good one in the stable; feller linng me up an' jumped his board, but I got his burro; seven dollars on him." "I'm out of the burro business," answered Sam. "I owned one of them brutes once, an' once is enough for one lifetime. Ever tell ye about that jackass ?' "N o." Sam noticed us listening, and took a seat near by. "Yes," he went on, "I owned a stud burro once, an' he near druv me insane 'fore I got rid of him. I named him Balaam—y'see he was one of these mouse-eolcmred burros, with a blac-k cross on his back, an' had such an innocent, religious look in his eyes that I thought he'd like a Bible name, so I called him Balaam, though Beelsebub would ha' suited him better, an' been a Bible name, too. "I got him from the pump-house engineer down at Lake Valley—swapped a lame horse for him—an' considered I'd got the best of the trade; an' the engineer eaid so, too, but just the same I noticed a kinder happy look in his eyes as I rode off on Balaam. But I was bound for Arizony, where wages was good, an' knew Balaam would get me there, so I didn't care much. He rude nioe an' easy, an' trotted along 'bout as fast you'd vrant a horse to travel, an' I began think in 'bout everything rather than the business of ridin' Balaam, -when I suddenly shot over his head all' landed in the road. "That little ctras had thrown me just by tvhirlin' himself sideways in his tracht,. Yfell, there was no one 'round to see that burro had got me off, an' he lookin' so comical, i standin' there with one ear aft an' t'other, forrad, looking down at me as though he was surprised that I didn't do any more than laugh an' mount him-again. 'Xother time he threw me was when I stopped at a ranch one night, an' after I'd unsaddled him, jumped on his back an' rode him down to show him the water, nothin' but a puddle, cteerin him by the ears. Well. I've got a baxi habit of saggin' down in the saddle, an' thinkin' 'bout things hundreds of miles off, aji' got myself into this shape while Balaam was drinkin'. He got through 'fore I came 'round, an' first thing I knew, my heels went up an' I rolled straight back an' came down, flop in the mud. I turned clean over in the air. And there was Balaam the other side the ptrddbe, waggin' his long ears an' looking disgusted like, as though he was ashamed of me. You see he'd just taken a. notion to jump over the puddle, an' I wa$n'f'< ready for it. tb He was quicker than chain lightnin'! Do on the Gila he got me into trouble; I off his back at a Meaicain town to ask f, questions, an' all the dogs in town surrOT >od Balaam, barkin an' snarlin'. He just lod tJwre wa?gin' them ears of his an' r?i.n' lot round at them till the biggest one of" ?' that had kept back an' barktd loud while the litUe ki-yis snapped at his iS' got te&vfrf-'Sifi ira^e; ..}¡1:>d:ia-am acted. He sent his heels out like 13treaks re in the of ?ray an caught the dog gr the stomach. Holy Smoke! What Sfhnd. The .stopped an pup went over a rod tore > an' ?rs mobbed never mored again. The G,.ers mobbed me, an' I had to pull my g- fore they let me get out.. ears. They ai« ears. They ,<BT> al, aam a strong point w ea.l"8. They saw on a burro; were Lhe lodgest ears I eT, OD. <a burro; materiaJ 'nough in ? ?'' ? P?'' of leggiim'. Once I 'lowed tlE7man to put leggins. O„ noe T 1 lowed ? Balaam, his bov on Balaam fo ride; but Baiaam' not ? hem consulted 8Wept them 'round an' knocked did oC without movin' round an knocked ti a step. He had a P°int' t0°: baCOn" ri?-tbo?h I re? ah jacks are that way: i £ k his life for ba<con- but Bala.a.m woul. life for ba.con- rinds. The first otnienoe I had with this ?eUte of s on ? day I got him, lug Srst ranch. He broke when we wh, en we sigh, t^ /vhe first ranch. He broke into a mil. st.ght for it, hee-haw in' with all his might '? ??' ?? lxmes ? ??' I oowdn't fW.nm.. try my best; ? just gave himself  "?? it. Bome women '?'? hinLs--If btee. Here ? oome'' I yelled; 'look i n_, -?bey dammed the door an' shut us out, Balaam didn't care; he didn't us out, wamt w into the house; all he wanted was a to hunt 'round near the door for cnar out. I got off his back an' the ac <3 thrown on^- I got oS his back an' nim right in the face an' swore aA him nile the women peeped out the window remarks 'bout us. But Balaam an ln't leave till he got ready. When he J w -d there wasn't &ny bawn scraps he lifted his nose an' his wI an' he?hawed at the liuse as though ginn' his opinion of folks ho couldn't afford to eat bacon; then we arted on. "I never hobbled Balaam when I camped. I new he wouldn't quit me while my booon lasted, but at Silver City grub ran short, an' I took a job aa' turned Balaam loose. He came 'round for his rations regular for a few days, but I couldn't supply him now, an* be lit out. I didn't miss him for a day, am' he got a good start, but I knew he'd take back tracks, so, as I wasn't known an' couldn't borrow a horse, I packed my blankets an' some grub on my back an' followed him. "I didn't strike his trail for twenty miles, bnt there I found it, leadin' up to a ranch. The ranch-owner came out an' showed me a bla?k an' blue lump on his leg where Baaaam • had kicked him; then he wanwd me to stay 'round till he could estimate the damage Balaam had done to his garden track an' young trees. But I wag in a hurry, I said, an' couldn't wait. Them he invit-ed me to etop over when I'd found the burro an' was coming back; bat I didn't. I come back another way. "I got a swear in' at every ranoii from there to the Membres River; people come out to meet me in the road an' ask to show me the marks of Balaam's teeth an' hoofs; the whole settlement knew I wag comin', an' I headed a mob of fifty mec an' boys up the river-road to where Balaam was in gaol. They d put him in pound, an' I was shown a bill for damages that near flooired me. Fifty dollars, the justice eaid, was filed against the owner of the -burro. One item was a doctor's bill; an old woman had a fit when she heard Balaam sing under her window; an' he'd knocked down several babies an' kicked an old man all 'round the road, besides all the young trees a.n' green stuff he'd spoiled. I went out to see Balaam an' think it over. I There he was in the corral back of the house, with his nose over tho bars, hee-hawin* gently at me an' beggin' me the best he could, to get him out. The justice was a good feller, an' come out an' said he could cut the bill down to half, an' I settled for twenty-five. That was more than Balaam was worth in the open market, but somehow he seemed sorry, an' I fedt sorry for 'him. Besides, there was a I gang of men -with guns waatin' outeide- I rode him back, and got a better job, cow-pun chin', an' tamed my animal loo? again, Gowin' I cooM always find him with a h?rse under me. But I missed him again, an' follered his tracks to where they joined other bu=o tra?a. so I knew h& d strw? a herd. ?t waa SUO inough, b-t?t the herd didn't belong to that district, and I con- cluded to go on an' get him. I found him with a jinny an' young colt. He saw me com- in' to bast his family relations, and sang at me till I got close, then up went his heels an* away he went with his wife an' step-son, over the hills. I chased him three miles 'fore I could rope him. an' then found I had a wild. animal to handle. He kicked an' bit at me. an' rolled over an' over, but he wouldn't come back. So I threw him, tied him fast, and druv the jinny an' colt 'bout a mile away.- where they couldn't hear Balsams heart- broken acoents, an' then come back for him. He was quieter, but wouldn't lead, an' I druv him 'fore me back to the range; then I hobbled him the rest of the time I worked there. "When I had money 'nongh I bought a hone an' we went on, me ridin' the horse ::n' chasin' Balaam ahead. Eh! Don't mind whisky for me. Well, as I was sayin' I dr Balaam ahead as he wouldn't lead, an' h was where my trouble commenced. X watch his chance when I was a little bf an' run away. On the plains he'd maJor any big mesquite-bush a mile or so d t d' ome side an' get un er it, an' t en, whpn.? ? np. he'd dodge 'round the rtaIL. ? abl to rope him I'd always haye to "et the  hi  hor&w horse an ch, ase him out afr oot, .Ty:es an horse an chase him out afoot.

Sometimes I have to stand on top of a rock an' wait for e snakes to get out of the way 'fore I dared go on, an' then I could 'most swear that brute was laughin' at me. He always got clubbed when I got him down, but he was just as ready next time. I was all alone with them animals for over two months, an' I think my brain began to weaken. I 'member I used to talk to them an' try to reason with Balaam when we camped for the night; then I 'member that I promised him ttatt jnst was through with him I was going to plunge a bullet into his head. But I didn't: I sold him to a couple of miners on the Hassayamp, an' next day as I rode off I looked back, and there, 'way up the side of the moun- tain was a little gob of gray movin' down the trail with a bag of ore each side of it. That was Balaam, an' I thought I was more than revenged ci. him, but I didn't know then, nor for some time after that all the time I was cusein' an' thr&atenin' the little animal I was gettin' fonder of him, an' if I could find him now I'd buy him an' give him a good time with plenty of bacon rinds all his life, even though I am out of the busi- ness. Sam may have had a cold, or the whisky had possibly worked; his eyes were watery, and he blew his nos« heartily as he went out to see to his horses. As he opened the door the discordant bray of a donkey reached our ears from the hotel stables. Sam was back in five minutes with a smile that reached to his ears. Gimme a bill of saJe," he said to the landlord, as lie counted out seven bright silver dollars on the ba.r, and to as, what 11 ye take, gentlemen; this is on me; I've got Balaam." THE END.

WHY HE SMOKED.
WHY HE SMOKED. In an Irish town the lads of a school acquired the habit of smoking, and resorted to the most ingenious methods to conceal it from the master. In this they were suass-sful, until one evening, when the master caught them puffing most vigorously. "How now shouted he to one of the culprits. How dare you be smoking?" Sir," said the boy, "I am subject to headaches, and a pipe takes off the pa.in," And-you? And you? And yon?" inquired tho-pedagogue, questioning every boy in his turn. One bad a raging tooth, another colic, the tliird a court; in short, they all had something for which the weed was an unfailing remedv. Now, eir," bellowed the master to the last boy, pray, what disorder do you smoke for?" Alas' ail excuses were exhausted; but the interrogated urchin, pust- ting down his pipe, and looking up into the master's faoe, said, in a whining, hypocritical tone, I smoke for corns, sir!"
