She'd Been Waiting.

'I tell ye, gents, this town is get
ting too hot for him"
"Him? Who do you mean Jer-
ry?" asked one of the crowd gather
ed in Dan Rockley's resort in Rock
City.
"Why, him as goes by the name
oLight Haired Harry. He is the
most dangerous coon in these parts, !"
returned the first speaker, a brawny
fellow, true type of the genuine
digger.
"Pshawl Nonsense. Jerryl Light
Haired Harry is the quietest little
chap above ground. He wouldn't
harm a fly" said the second speaker.
eyes, SO far as muscle an fight
goes he is weak, but he's a card
sharp" rejoined the other.
"Well, what of it? There are
plenty of the same cloth in Rock
City. What has Light Haired Har-
ry done to incur your dislike?"
"Done? Thunderl He skinned
me out'n four thousand"-
"Ah," interrupted the other, chat
changes the complexion of the case!
However, if it was a fair game, l
don't see how you can complain,
Jerry"
"Now you've hit the nail squar'
on the Uranium. If it had been a
fair game, I'd be the last man ter
kick; but, gents, he did it by jug
glin the cards." asserted Jerry.
1t is crime akin to horse steal
ing, which latter ranks supreme in
the catalogue of sin in the west.
"Well, out with it, Jerry. fit is
as you say, why, Light Haired Har-
ry will have to skip. Eh, boys"
"K'rect, boss. He willw respond
ed a chorus of voices.
After a generous dose all round
of the villainous decoction vended
in the den, Jerry faced the crowd
and proceeded to ventilate his
wrongs:

"We war willin, an fore we knew

"That war all right-so far as we
could see it war a squar' game on

Impossible, Jerryl You don't
mean to say you let him git away
with your pile?" asked the man who
had first conversed with the wrong
ed player.
II did. Leetle Sue is ther SUM-

eyes, / know, but we ha'n't like
ther sport. Besides, l think ther
leetle angel sort O. belongs to him."
said Jerry.
The case was clear against the
sport.
Jerry's word was as good as gold,
and all that he had accused the
gambler of was accepted as fact.
Gentlemen, what is your pleas
ure?" asked the individual who had
been disposed to give the sport the
benefit of the doubt.
HE is dangerous"
"Granted, Jerry, but recollect lit
tie Sue"
"K'rect! Fur her sake 1 don't

head, but / reckon he'd better be
invited ter take Sue an skip out O.
Rock City"
A slim, pale faced man, a stran-
ger to all, entered just then and
asked for a drink.
He remarked about the crowd to
the barkeeper, and by the latter
was speedily informed ofthe subject
of discussion.
Scents, there is but one way to do
this business so as to make it easy
for the little girl"
This, from the stranger, drew all
eyes toward him.
"You will understand that it is a
serious thing to invite a man to
quit town. l will grant you all rea-
sonable excuse for wishing the
sport to leave. If he doesn't play
a square game, why, he becomes too
dangerous to be agreeable.
Now, am a stranger to all of
you, also an entire stranger to the
sport whose absence is desired. He
might become suspicious if any of
you, who are known to him, should
approach his cabin, and some one
might get hurt. A fracas would
render the little girls position dan
gerous.
Il will 60 and tell this Light
Haired Harry, as you call him, that
he is respectfully invited to vacate
this part of the country, Gents,

The strangers proposition seemed
to meet the views of all, and after
receiving directions as to which way
he should proceed to reach the
sports cabin he departed, followed
by the good wishes of the crowd.
The next morning the following
notice was tackled upon the vacated
cabin:
DEAR FRIENDs-I thank you ever
so much for sending my father to
me. Mother and l have been wait
ing for him a long time. Don't you
think she looks well in mems
clothes? She is Light Haired Har-
