walked along.
"Ain't you afraid" said he, "of be-
ing robbed?"
"Woll, you just bet your sweet life
the fellow who opens old Silas Tatman's
yalise will be sorry" and the Bunkum
farmer smiled inwardly.

seized the opportunity TO slip out Of the

he saw stream Of hornets sail after
the bartender.
Twenty minutes later, from his re-

man saw his five friends limp.ng out OF
the saloon TO the ambulance, which
had been called. and which had lacked
