Buffalo Bill's death message or, In the face of doom

Prentiss Ingraham

ENOS SPALDING.” * * * * * As to how the dagger of gold dropped out of the sky, Buffalo Bill never knew certainly. We may reasonably believe that the gull carried it for a time, tied to its neck, and that the hurriedly knotted string at length gave way. When this occurred, and let the dagger fall, the gull must have been flying over the steep wall of the Superstition Range; the bird’s motion must, also, have given a forward impetus to the falling dagger, and by chance it struck point foremost in the bosom of Ramon Periguez, killing him. There was certainly more than one dagger, just alike, which explains the mystery. THE END.

The fact that he does handle our books proves that he has considered the merits of paper-covered lines, and has decided that the STREET & SMITH NOVELS are superior to all others. He has looked into the question of the morality of the paper-covered book, for instance, and feels that he is perfectly safe in handing one of our novels to any one, because he has our assurance that nothing except clean, wholesome literature finds its way into our lines. Therefore, the STREET & SMITH NOVEL dealer is a careful and wise tradesman, and it is fair to assume selects the other articles he has for sale with the same degree of intelligence as he does his paper-covered books.
