Bowie and His Knife.

“Henry Cloy once told me,” said Mr. Davis, with a smile, “of Ilia first meeting with Bowie. It was in the early days, and Clay was traveling in a stage coach, where the only other passengers were a pretty girl, a big, rough lookings countryman, and a limp little figure in a greatcoat. With tiie consciousness of his own perfect physique, Clay said he was congratulating himself on not being the limp figure bundled up in the corner, when he became conscious that the pretty girl was begging the rough country man not to smoke, ns it made her ill. The fellow replied with a savage oath, that he had paid his fare and would smokewhenhe pleased. Mr. Cloy said he was just tryzg to screw his courage up to the point of remonstating with the country giant, when the limp little flgnre undoubled itself like magic, and, with a quick movement, reached down its collar, brough out a knife that in the excitement of the moment looked a yard long, and with another cat-like movement seized the fellow by the throat. ‘Throw that pipe but of the window, or by—, I’ll—’ A comprehensive sweep of the murderous-look-ing blade finished the sentence and sent the pipe shattering on the Cound. In another minute the knife b again disappeared down the caEacious collar, and the limp flgWe ad resumed its former verterbralees . condition, ‘but the rest of the jourIjiey,’ said Mr. Clay, ‘I spent wishing i 1 was the little man in thegreptcoat, who was none other than Bowie, with his famous knife.’ ”—St. Louie Reptibiio.
