Turing them on.
There was sand and tents and more
sand and lizards and a little more
sand, and then nothing until you
struck the river and could look UP at
the ragged purple line of the foot
hills stretched out against the western
<siSy.
Nothing much happened. Some
times there came a sunset, so glorious
that it made little Put get out his
mandolin and go mad until star time
came and we put him to bed gently.
There was the stage from Florence
three time a week. Sometimes there
was a sudden flash of excitement over
on the other side of the wash. where
the copper diggings stabbed the hill
side. Little Put or some one else had
init a new run and was celebrating.
The celebrations usually lasted 10 min
utes. then we woke up again and went
back to grubbing. The stage and sun
sets We're perpetual. The celebrations
were accidental. So was the Angel.
Put said she was beautiful that day
when she faced us all. 1t had been
over year since any of us had viewed
angels, and we agreed with Put Her
hair wasn't any special color, just
fluffy and undecided and the deep soft
Brown gold that the frost brings to the
cottonwoods on the hills in October.
There was a long wavering knot of pale
blue ribbon, tied sailor fashion, at the
collar of her white shirt waist. We
wondered why all the other angels in
our hearts had never thought to wear
blue ribbons. 1t was another Impress
ion, but we Were glad little Put had
called her Angel.
isn't Jack Raymond here?" she
-
Put. We felt for him. It was the
toughest proposition he had ever faced.
LAT that moment he bore all Piety Flat
ton his shoulders and answered for it.
He was here said little Put en-
couragingly.
The Angels lips did not tighten or
compress. they did a little act all their
own that would have wrung the heart
of dead Apache. A little pursuing up
of the special center nerves, a little
wistful dropping of the side curves and
the deed was done. Piety Flat behind
and bowed in alteration. So did little
yPut.
'.But he will be back?"
Put rallied, and there was the red
tight of battle in his eye. We knew
he would carry his colors to the death
Amy day at all. Just struck out
little farther west to see how the land
lay"
How long has he been gomez"
Put swallowed back the lump in his
khroat and smiled rehectiveiy.

Broken Arrows village, reVolvers in
hand, a troop of sinewy, sunburned,
resolute American boys, looking for
their own.
That night a memorial jubilee was
held up at the headquarters tent They
lifted Put up on a table, and he broke
the news, while the Angel smiled sadly
at the eager, joyous faces of Jack
chums.
~ found the dirty little beggar out
under a cactus shade, sprawled out
like a lizard, fast asleep" said Put 1t
was the getting back that broke me
I'D. I had to leave the horse back there
somewhere when he FELL and rolled on
my foot, and 1t was hard dragging
along with dawn chasing you up, ana d
squalling starved Indian cub hanging
to your back And that's all poys' Elk
cept that we fixed it up all right with
Samantha as witness. She's going to
be Mrs. Putney Chadwick, and III Try
to take Jacks place.
That was the cue. Put had passed
the word around when we nrst reach-
ed camp, and every one was ready LOT
the memorial service. Put led. He told
how Jack Raymond had come out with
Sim Rogers among the first bunch 10
hit the Flat; how his hope and jolly
GOOD Fellowship had kept the rest
Then Big Tom started to tell how
Sim had caught the fever, the horr1-
BILE insidious fever that steals like pois-
onous quicksilver through the veins
of a man, and leaves him as the fever
in India leaves it's thousands.
1--WE were towards" said Tom husk-
lily. 1--WE left the boy alone over I'M
der the cottonwood, and Jack took
him home and nursed him all through
the night"
"E4e battled with the fever" put in
Len Mason with gloomy emphasis.
"And beat it," concluded Tom. And
then before we knew it, he was down
himself, and he died like hero in lit
tie Puts arms"
Putt" The Angel rose, and stretch
ed out her hands to him. Put, and
you never told me that"
We stood back to let them by. Put
limped and she made him lean on her
arm. 1t was awfully pretty, we
thought at the door they looked
back. The Angels face was wet with
tears, and Puts was a study in hap
py misery.
81 shall ride to Florence tomorrow,
boys" he said. And I'll bring one
back with me. You're all invited to
the wedding"
Piety Flat cheered. Gathered en-

of little Put, and danced for the hon
or of his fair lady until they were out
of hearing.
Then there was a strange dead 81
lence.
Big Tom broke it. He gently moved
the box on which the Angel had sat
over to the doorway, where he could
see the stars. We watched him medi-
tatively take out his bag of Seal of
pipe bowl with it's golden brown treas
ure. Then he spoke
And he was the dog-gonedest,
meanest, white livered, lying cheat of
a kid coyote that ever came over the
desert, and got a bullet in the right
place." he said softly. as he passed
the bag on to the rest. "Only I'm
glad we urged Sim to move on across
the border, for her sake"

'She. isn't real handsome. but you'll
need her. and she belonged to Jack"
"She's dear" said the Angel low
ingly, as she stood tall and slim and
sweet as the morning in the doorway
and surveyed Samantha. Are all bur
ros like her?"
mo, she's little more so than the
rest" laughed Put, stroking Saman-
tha's hide. 1t was a faded gray color,
like the old soiled Indian blanket he
had thrown around her, and many
trips over the hills through the thorny
mesquite browth had deprived her tail
of its natural bushy glory, and left
worn spots here and there on her gray
hide like the moth-eaten patches on
the Indian blanket.
But she's the best one on the Flat"
he added.

said, merrily. What boy he is, isn't

watched her in silence as she walked
slowly toward the new shack under
the cottonwood.
There was a counsel of state held
that night, and little Put made a
speech. Speeches were one of his
strong points. Piety Flat held that
he had many. He stood on a wooden
box up at Eddie Barton's tent We
chose that one because it was farthest
from the shacks. 1t was a great
speech. Eddie told him if he would
write it down for him to learn by
heart he'd give him Samantha. Put led
Samantha up to the door of the new
shack the next morning and gave her
to the Angel.

He nodded.

That night in the big tent, he told US
all which was Angels claim, and that
he was going to work it for her until
Jack came back. Then the spirit fell
upon us all. Len Mason logged his
best side of bacon, and swore Jack had
loaned him bacon when he was starv-
ing. Big Tom Wyndham slipped over
one evening when we couldn't see him,
and left his pet frying pan on the door
step, together with a brand-new oil
lamp from Florence that he had flaunt-
ed at us for weeks as an evidence Of
superior civilization. Little Put was
all in at the end of a week. Eddie
Barton gave him a shakedown in the
corner of his tent. and he never MUIR
