' ' Nate was one of the principal char acters and most imjiortant features of Manganese, where he bved. To bo a principal character '.necessitates the possession of much -spare time, and Nate had this essential ouahfl ca- tion nearly every day in the week. When he didnt have it he was at work, but this did not happen often. ippen often. Nate was like. Rip Von Winkle al- 4 ways readv to take a drink or to lend a hand for the benefit of some one else, but prone to. shirk lalxtr which might benefit himself and his family. So Mrs. Preslo sewed dresses and things, which w qjiito conven ient for Nate, as 'it gave him more time to indulge hiH fancy for loafing.: Nate's loafing places were the Ex change and Red Front saloons. These places were most convenient, being provided with plenty of chairs, and being the places most affected by cifc lizens likely to Bet 'om p, Here Nate did most of J to fraffcrfa, of whatever kind. If came mostly in the form of jokes, practical and of mouth,. leveled at him by his fellow citizens, and in these he took a, sort of .mournful" pleasure', as being an indication of his popularity.

Nate had a dog (not a yellow one, however, hut a spaniel) to assist him in loafing, and it was Curly whose misfortunes led to Nate's final reformation. , .' ! One afternoon, as Nate was lazily holding forth to some of -his cronies frora his seat in tho Exchange, there Was a slight commotion on the street outside, and .they went to the door Ito ascertain .the cause. It was Curly. He had stopped in at the Red Front to look for Nate, and some of thu crowd down there had proceeded to have fan with him by tying a tin can w nis uxu. -. :.- He was now coming up tlie street somewhat more- rapidly than usual and heading for the Exchange as a possible place of refuge. Nate picked him up and carried aim insiuo, where a . . . ii. rrn i. a i a. - ' he removed the can.

"W'y, you half growed enivelor" - . . They were not quite sure how it happened. .

In scarcely 15 seconds Nate, bleeding but triumphant' sut nstrido his antugo nkt enthusiastically thumping him on the head with the butt of the prostrate Kiloy's own revolver which the latter had dropped some how early in the argument when the crowd interfered and dragged them apart , After taking a couple b( drinks and washing his face Nate walked home, preceded by Curly, who seemed to feel that- he had been thoroughly avenged and acted like u callow pup in his satisfaction. Nate did not go down town again that day., He went into the house and surprised his wife by kissing her, after which he went out and split a most amazing amount of stove wood, and in the evening he played with the children, and "tin kered 'round." Mrs. Preslo could not ; understand him.1 At first she f oared he was go ing to be ill, but he looked quite healthy, barring a black eye and a bruised cheek. His wife inquired after the children had gone to bod if he had heen hurt Nate rose from his seat by the table and came over to where 6ho eat "Lctty," he. said,' straightening -; himself tip and looking straight at y.f,r Tm th most patient an long sufferin man on airth. an you're lb' most natient an Ions sufforin woman ! m airt.h. liut see vere.

NextmorningNatedid not godown town until 9 o'clock. Then ho walked briskly down and called on 'Squire Iieli who was a leading lawyer and politician. The squire was just look- w over his lottero when Nate came in. but something in the lattcr's face airested his attention, and he stopped his work to leant whatNateVanted. "Squire," said Nate earaeslly. "th city's convtoition's two weeks fin t'day, hain't it?' . . LI-ui. res : so it la." 'Waal, squire.' 1 want th' nomina tion fr city marshal? The squire was amazed. "You, Natef "Why". l -''Hoi on, squire. ; I want t' tell ye first off th't I. hain't 'Sufforin Nato' no more. - That's all over., I'm Nate Preslo, an don't propose t' do no more sufforin.' Squire,-hain't I al ways be'u a good tarty man and worked hard ev'ry election an never asked fr nothin more'n r seat in con- Tontionsr! - "Yea, you have, Nato, but bufaeee here, you know that we've pot. to have a strong candidute for marshal The other fellows have beaten our nominee throe times with Buckley. He's a strong candidate and a good officer." "All right squire, but I reckon I c'n make as strong a mn as anybody In our crowd. Who've we got th't c'n do better! ' The squire pondered. "Well, Ben A i.f Muaut won us 11. - Ben Conant's got one good job, squire. An has he got more frien's'n I haver j .; "Well, you see. Nato, to be frank there are a good many people who . don't exactly approve of you. Now, Ultfru a Dutuvkiiiiitj kuui iuo yuuu w pl( would look dubious about Been fighting. Nate? I never knew you to." Nate grinned. "That's th' b'ginnia a? th' end o' my sufferin,' squire." ' And be told him about it . - I The squire tajrped his teeth with his pencil for a few moments.

He carried the little city by a majority of over 100 votes, j much to the consternation of Mr. Buckley and his party. v ' Theie was, aa is customary, an in formal celebration at the Exchango ' and other resorts that night -Amid the congratulations and flow of spir its of various kinds Nate found and availed himself of tho opportunity to i outline his future policy. i "Boys," he snid "I'm mighty ; thankful an glad ye've put me in, an ' now I want t' say, an ye may 've seen, th't itH be a right good scheme f ro- member th't I hain't 'Buff erin Nate' no more an that'll - save any an all miBunderstandin's. Hain't I right, Charlie?" I "You j8t bet," responded the de feated Mr. Buckley fervently, and I his response was approved by nearly 1 all present - But many people are forgetful, and some are neglectful and skeptical. and no sooner hadNate been installed . in office and donned his star (the j mayor presented Bim with a new one at the next council meeting, when the officers olect were sworn in) and strapped on his 6-shooter than trouble j began.' .' , . . ' Buckley had celebrated his retire , ment by getting too drunk to kick the clothes off - the bed in which he ' was placed at an early hour. 1 Nate ' was called on to perform duty at once.- A gang of six "bad" men from Georgetown, learning of Nate's elcc ; tion and bis induction into office, had come down to "do up" the town and make it uncomfortable for the now marshal, to whom they sent word that they would kill him if ho inter fered. They had a wholesome fear of Buckley, but ."Sufferin Nate" : Nato left the council room and walked over to the Double Eaglo sa loon, where the six "bads" were. . They wero leaning against the bar. and talking of "eating" tho now 'marshal. Nato stepped in and up to the end of the 'bar, very palo, but firm.' and "covered" the whole line jwitb bia revolver. . ' ., I "Boys," ho remarked fts (with hands uplifted, of course) they stared ! at him, hardly willing to believe their ' eyes, "I heerd yotalkin about eatin a chap named Sufforin Nate.' There ain't no sech person," but here's Nate Preslo, city marshal, an he wants ye. ' It there's any killin a-goin on I c'n got ' two 'r three t' your one-r-doa't f'rgit : that Wilt." he said to the bartender, "take their guns V - ' The bartender obeyed, and Natd m'arcbed his' half dozen "bad" men to tho lockup, whence they emerged next day to pay their finesund shako j hands cordially with Nato, whodrank with them in a friendly way. " j This was not quite the end of ' Nate's "suffcrin's." for not a few of his friends essayed to takaadrantago ! of him now and then end impose on ' his 'good nature, but it was not long ' before they found out that Nate was no respecter of persons when hia duty was involved, and that he would not "suffer" any more than thepride of a man would permit so that when the- next city election camo on Nate I wfla wCaIottivI hv a rfiiisin? mn-irvr- ity. ; .
