4. Drink this here down, says Uncle
/ Emsley, handing me the glass of wa
ter. You've rid too far today, Jud, and
got yourself OvereXcited. Try 10 think
about something else now
DO YOU know how 10 make them
pancakes. Uncle Emsley? 7 asked
Well. I'm not as apprized in the
anatomy OF them as some says Uncle
! Emsley; but 1 reckon you take q sitter
OF plaster Of paris and a little dough
and saleratus and cornmeal and mix
EN- with eggs and buttermilk as usual
/ Is old Bill going TO ship beeves 10 Kan
sas City again this spring. JUDI
THAT was all the pancake specifica-
! tlons / could get that night. I didn't
wonder that Jackson Bird found il up
! hill work. So l dropped the subject
and talked with Uncle Emslcy a While
/ about hOll0w-horn and cyclones. And
! then Miss WilIella came and said good
night and / hit the breeze Tor the
ranch.
| About a week afterward I met Jack
! son Bird riding out Of P.mienta as I
! rode in. and we stopped in the road for
few frivolous remarks.
| Got the bin OF particulars for them
| flapiacfs yet?' I asked him.
Wen, no. says Jackson I don't
seem TO have any success in getting
hold of it. Did you try?'
did says 1, and twas like try
ing to dig a prair'e dog out OF his hole
with :eanut hull.
I'm most ready TO give it up, says
! jackson; but l did want TO know how
10 make them pancakes 10 eat on my
lonely ranch says he.
You keep on trying for it, tells
him. and I'll do the same. One of US
Is bound 10 get rope over It's horns
before long. Well. SO long, Jackey.
You see BY this time we was on the
peacefulest of terms. When I saw that
ne wasn't after Miss Wilella I had
more endurable CONCENTRATIONS OF that
sand-haiTed snOozer. In order 10 helm
out the ambitions of his appetite I keut
on trying 10 get that receipt from Miss
Willella. But every time ! would say
pancakes she would get sort of remote
and fidsety about the eve and try 10
change the snhject If | held her To il
She would slide out and round up Tn
Gle Fmslev with his pitcher of water
and hip-pocket hOwitZer
One day / Gglloped over to the store
with q fine bunch Of blue verbenas that
cut out of herd Of Wild flowers over
on Poisoned Dog Prairie Uncle Ems
ley looked at EN- with one eye shut and
says:
Haven't ye heard the news?'
W leila and Jackson Bird was
married IN Palestine yesterday. says
he Just got letter this morning

down toward my upper left-hand shirt
pocket until it got to my feet.

was $50 on the hoof. or something like
that
Married Yesterday says Uncle
Emsley. and gone to Waco and Mag
ara Fails on "A wedding tour Why.
didn't you see none of the signs all
along? Jackson Bird has been counting
Willella ever since that day he took her
out riding
Then, says I. i'm a kind of yeu.
what was all this z'zzqNaroola he give
me about pancakes? Tell me that
When I said pancakes Uncle Ems
ley sort of lodged and stepped back.
SOMEBODY'S been dealing me pan
cakes from the bottom of the deck / !
says, and I'll find out. ] believe you /
know. Talk Up.' says I. or we'll mix |
q painful of batter right here
Il slid over the counter after Uncle i
Emsley. He grabbed at his gun. but it /
was IN drawer. and he missed Il two /
inches. I got him by the front of his
shirt and showed him in a corner.
q" Talk pancakes says 7. or be made I
,Dto one. Does Miss Willella make |

She never made one in her life and !
| never saw one says Uncle mslev. |
'oothinsly. Calm down now, Jud, caiIr

wound in your head Is communicating
your sense of in'elligence. Try not !
think about pancakes
Uncle Emsleya says I. Tn not
wounded in the head EXCEPT so far as
my natural cOgitatve instincts run 10
-unts. Jackson Bird told me he was
Ealing on NJ SIS Willella for the purpose
IF finding out her system of producing

done 50. with the results as YOU see.
