JOHN NORTON'S CHRISTMAS. 29 The Trapper, kneeling beside the box, looked at the poor fellow with a face radiant with hap- piness, while his mouth was stretched with laughter, utterly unconsious that tears were brimming his own eyes. " Old Trapper," said Wild Bill, rising to his feet, and holding the garments forth in his hands, " this is the first present I ever received in my life. I have been kicked and cussed, sneered at and taunted, and I deserved it all. But no man ever gave me a lift, or ...showed he cared a cent whether I starved or froze, lived or died. You know, John Norton, what a fool I've been, and what has ruined me, and that when sober I'm more of a man than many who hoot me. And here I swear, old man, that while a button is on this jacket, or two threads of these breeches hold together, I'll never touch a drop of liquor, sick or well, living or dying, so help me God ! and there's my hand on it."
