page. Every man In the room now took
a crack al the hat. and when the smoke
cleared away Doe was reading as serene
ly as ever. but the hat looked as IL II
had been through the Thirty Years war.
After the last volley the crowd in
stead OF growing worse by reason OF
failure and more determined TO succeed,
took the other tack and became calmer.
Here was something they had never heard
OF or seen in all their previous expert
ences. Every silk hat wearer they had
sought TO make a target OF had either
surrendered at discretion on the Nrst in
timation Of a shooting match. or II ne
were taken unawares and a single shot
was fired he went down on his knees
and promised anything for peace. This
was an entirely different proposition.
Here was a supposed soft she'll in a silk
hat who had more nerve in a minute
than they could shoot out OF him IN n
month, and he was wearing q silk Int
in spite of the ordinary remedy which
had never failed before. II stumped the
crowd completely, and they became as
still as a lot OF children who had been
caught doing something they shouldn't
have done. Then Doe, after waiting a
moment, closed his book quietly. reached
around TO hts hip pocket. took out box
OF cartridges. and turning 10 the crowd,
he said, with a bow:
IL you are out Of ammunition. gem
tlemen. here are some cartridges | can
recommend. l am selling them as a side
line, and II you try them / am sure you
will use no other.
His hat was canted over 10 one side
q bit. but his face was as straight az
string, and when the crowd fully COM
pretended the situation, as he stood there
with the cartridges in one hand and the
book in the other and his plug hat al
most pathetic in It's dilapidation, they
hesitated a moment and broke into
shout OF approval that meant everything
for Doc Vincent. They fairly made a
hero OF him. ordered a barrel of his cart
ridges, and the whole town WAS his.
las for Doc, he almost had brain fever
as a result of the terrific strain he had
undergone but he pulled himself to-
gether. got sloriousty full with the gang
TO loosen his nerves and as long as he
remained in Lampasas he wore that
wear his crown. II was a passpor. ev-
erywhere he went too. for the story
went further than he did. When he left
town they gave him a banquet and a new
silk hat which they had sent East for,
and they formed procession to the train
with Doc AT the head. wearing his new
hat. Two men carried the old shot hole
plug on a kind of a bier at the rear OF
the line. and after Doc had gone they
buried Il and put up wooden monu-
ment with this inscription on It;
