When the smoke cleared away in the
tnrroom there was another job for the
young frontier parson. Charley Nc
tartncy had killed the tenderfoot.
Charley explained grimly that he
needed killing; he cheated in poker.
The rest of them took his word for it
and turned the case over to the par
son
Il was only when the parson went
through the tcndcrfuOts pockets that
he found anything different in this
case from various others that hhd
come under his notice.
He found a letter there. He found
various other things. There weSr
money and some pictures. The par
son burned the pictures. They were
not nice pictures. He figured it ont
that the truderfoot came west be
cause they could spare him from his
home circle.
But the parson saved the letter; It
was a pitiful thing.
Somebody's mother had written To
the tenderfoot as he was leaving for
the west She wanted him to hunt
for her boy.
"Tell him to come back to me- the
letter said. Tell him I've prayed to

Wanted Mr.. Henry.

At political meeting the speakers
and audience were very much disturbed
by a man who constantly called out:
"Mr. Henry. Henry, Henry! call for
Mr.. Henry!
After several Interruptions of this
kind at each speech young man as
cended the platform and was soon air
ing his eloquence in unemployment
style, striking out powerfully in his
gestures, when the old cry was heard
for Mr.. Henry.
Putting his hand to his mouth like
speaking trumpet, the man was bawl-
ing at the top of his voice: Mr. Henry,
Henry, Henry. Henry! I call for Mr..
Henry.'
The chairman now rose and remark
ed that it would oblige the audiences IL
the gentleman would refrain from any
further calling for Mr.. Henry, as that
gentleman was then speaking.

turber of the meeting. Great dizzy!
That can't be Mr.. Henry! Why, that's

down toward the lake, whether il

Hi WAS KICKING HIS HEELS AND WRIG-
CLING LIKE A LITTLE EEL.
God every day of my life to keep
him And here the writing grew il
legible. The parson thought it looked
like tear stains.
The parson read on to the end. That
letter was the inside of mothers
heart. At the very end it told the
name of her boy. The parson had
heard of him by reputation-not the
very best of regulations. The name
Of the man was Charley Mccartney.
The parson was not squeamish. He
got over being squeamish long ago. He
was used to killings and sudden death
But there was something strange and
awful in this coincidence.
When the tenderfoot was decentiy
buried and the parson had said the
"ashes 10 ashes" and the dust to
dust for him he put on his hat and
walked down the line of the saloons
He turned in at the biggest and tough
est.
The big red faced man who seemed to
be the presiding genius of the place
looked up in surprise. He knew the
parson. Everybody knew him.
Going to take some chips and come
into the gamer as asked facetiously.
Eut he held out his hand, and the par
son took it cordially. Each of these
men respected the other in way. The
red faced man was gambler but the

from that did many a little act Of
charity that no one else knew Of.
I'll think I've come to copper your
ace" said the parson. Then he asked
where Charley Mccartney could be
found. The gambler looked at him mar
across the room.
THAT guy with the chips piled In
front of him is Charley Mccartney" he
said briefly.
The parson walked slowly across the
room to Charley Mccartney. He never
had seen him close to before. >McCart-
ney had fine face. But the parson IN
stinctively found himself hocing that
his.old mother back home hadn't seen
many gamblers. Mccartney was be-
ginning to look like a gambler. He
had the face, especially the eyes.
His eyes twitchod at the corners, and
they were getting puGry underneath.
His face bal begun to take ON that in
scrutable T., kite look which is oac ia

The parson watched him for mo

foot on rung of the gamblers chair.
Mccartney turned on him like fash

rung of your chair sends your luck

cry one knows. But when he saw who
it was he sank back abashed. with a
murmurcd a" ngy on his lips.
"Mac." said the parson gently, "cash
in. want to see you"
Mccartney looked back at the table
where stiff stud poker game was go
ing on, and then at the parson. There
was a CLINT of suspicion In his eyes
But he cashed in and the two walked
over to distant corner of the room.
The parson handed him the letter
without word. Mccartney looked ur
