drifted TO the winter days OF Dodge

IT, a profound silence fell upon the
several men present and Nuckols be-

minute Bassett looked at the qucs-
toner without saying a word. Then,

he knew he was safe TO act on. he
helped himself to a drink Of whisky all
alone. When he returned he backed up
to the stove. and surveying Nuckola,
said. In a mild. inquirlng tone:
