THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



October 



IT ufc ;.s 10 Uji; solemn reticence of these 

 killers when touched on as to their bloody 

 deeds Basket ♦^ is and has been for .vears the 

 manager of a resort iu Kansas City. One 

 winter night Bassett and several others 

 were standing near the big stove, drink- 

 ing and defying the weather. The talk 

 had drifted to the winter days of Dodge 

 City, wh.en Jack Nuckols, then city editor 

 of the K-msas City Times, suddenly spoke 

 up with: 



"By the way, Charlie, you killed sever- 

 al men at Dodge City, didn't you?" 



A look of pain and uneasiness came 

 across Bas.si'tt's face like a cloud. He 

 was staggeri^d and worried, and showed it. 

 A profound silence fell upon the several 

 men presiuit, and Nuckols began to grow 

 embari'asscd. For full half a minute Bas- 

 sett looked at th(^ questioner without say- 

 ing a word; then, as if a thought had come 

 to him that he knew was safe to act on, 

 he helped hijnself to a drink of whisky all 

 alone. When he returnet , he backed np 

 to the stove, and, surveying Nuckols, said 

 in a mild, inquiring tone: 



"Well, if I did, it was right." 



I^uckols hastened to assure him that no 

 one harbored a doubt on that point, and 

 the subject was politely changed. After- 

 ward one of the onlookers remarked: 



"You can bet it bothered Bassett when 

 it drove him to drinking whisky by him- 

 self. I'll bet 3 to 1 that's the first drink 

 Bassett's taken alone iu 20 years." — Wash-
