Cherokee alludes al. comes over from
Tucson a little while before this. He
has long white ha'r an beard, an jedgin'
from the rings on his horns, he was
maybe a-comin' sixty. He seemed like
he had plenty OF money, an we takes
it hes all right. Ills Twin Tucson show
ed he had sense So We cashes him at
his figger OF course. we al never asks
his name none, as aslin' names an
lookin at the brands on a hoss is
speshul roode in the west, an shows
your bringin' up, an frequent your
bringiu' down; but he allows he's called
Old Bin Gentry to the boys, an he an
Faro Nell are p2rJic,er friendly.
"'Talkin TO him. says Nell, is Jest
like a layin' in the shade He knows
everything, too. al about books an

she'd give pony for smile from Cher
okee-was sittin' up at his shoulder on
the lookout stool. The game was goin'
plenty lively when along comes old
Gentry. Cherokee takes q look at him
an seems worried a little thinlIin', no

up with the procession, too, an stood
thar with his gun in his hand, mis- eycl
a glitJerin' an his white beard a curl
in like a cats. He was clean strain,
