had fallen some hours before. How
long he had been lying there he could
not tell and didn't care; how long he

was not. grieve to say, Of sufficient
novelty in Red Gulch to attract atten-

satirist had erected a temporary tomb
stone at Sandy's head. bearing the III

pointing to McCorkle's saloon. But
this, imagine, was. like most local
satire, personal; and was reflection
up0nthe nnfairness ofthe process rather

pack, had cropped the scant herhage

trees had slowly swung around until
they crossed the road. and their trunks
barred the open meadow with gigantic
parallels Of black and yellow. Little
puffs Of red dust, lifted BY the plung-
ing hoofs of passing teams. dispersed
in a grimy shower upon the recuuI-
bent man. The sun sank lower and
lower; and still Sandy stirred not.
