The people Of Cinnabar there present saw
DO reason to pursue the discussion so pleas
antly ended and drew near the bar. The
discussion took place in The Gold Mine

far from centers." Rosewood, himself, was
a suaye courtier OF fortune who presided be-
hind his own faro game and who, being re-
puted to possess straight deal box, held
high place in the Cinnabar breast.
His Shooter Might Be Restless,
At last out on the gray and heated plain
O cloud of dust announced the coming of
the stage. Stacks were cashed and games
cleaned up and presently the male popula-

"Oh, nuthin', why not?" replied Tut, as
he watched the stage come up, "only he's

the fold has reduced the restlessness of that
six shooter of his'n, none whatever"
GAIL the same" said Rosewood, who
stood near at hand, "politeness 'mong gen.
tlemen should be alters observed, an I asks
this we're Short Creek to drink as soon as
eyer he comes, and I amt lookin' to see

The High Crime Of Curiosity.
Not a word nor look touching Short
Creeks conversion betrayed the question
which was tugging at the Cinnabar heart.
Cinnabar was too polite and then, again,

bet that's his American right. I'll jest
gamble 800 Dave comes out all even and
protects his game clear through"
