Speak gentle word so tender
That it fingers in some ear.
Sing a song of gladness quickly,
And the world will stop to hear.
Bind the wound that's sore and bleeding,
Nurse to health and life again.
If a faint and helpless brother
Falls upon the lonely plain.
Clothe the naked, feed the hungry,
Whisper words of gospel cheer;
Live the life of Christ's sweet story,
And the world will stop to hear.

in progress at the town-hall, where the old Star
Saloon used to be. Along side of the lamp
lit room seated the larger portion of the femin
inc population of Hardscrabble, gay with ribbons
and radiatng atmosphere of geniality. Grouped
about the outer door the masculine contingent:
the cowboys from the ranges and Binford.
Bracing himself against the wall, his moral cour-
age under an almost intolerabe pressure, Binford
looked upon the with vague feeling that it
might have been interesting had it not been so

was to make his coup detat proceeding which,

his trail" He turned and again met the fixed
stare of the now thoroughly objectionable Bow
legs. He did not doubt that the expression referred
to himself although he had exchanged the offensive
golf-suit for his travelling clothes. At the same
moment Towhead passed close to him and whis-
pered: It'll go off all right. Let her flicker at the
end of this first dance"
With an inward groan Binford braced himself
for the crisis. All hope of anything but dis
graceful retreat cut off.
Partners for a quadrille!" the rousing
command, with rude shock to Binford's analysis
of things temporal and he made way for the dancers
There a general agitation of the crowd at the
door and perceptible futter on the feminine side

Get a move on you'll Lots of good music going

in a voice which fairly made the windows rattle

two sets of dancers to their feet Bowegs led forth
the fair Miss Ellie, Respondent in crimson lawn
and white streamers of satin ribbon. More than

Bowlegs, in response to first impulse, looked
around for Towhead. Some directed him to
the hotel, and thither he fastened. As he opened
the door he was confronted by the spectacle of
Towhead astride chair, his head buried in his
its back, his burly frame shaking con-
vulsively With firm two-handed grip the
inviting collar Bow1egs jerked him to the floor

An hour later Binford and Towhead emerged
from the little frame building known as the jug ="
"We shake hands then and be friends, hope"
the cowboy said they paused at the hotel door.
The tenderfoot extended his hand. Il swear III

I'll thresh him as you would have done if you
could have got hold of him.
Glad you do not regard this a personal
matter" Towhead assured him; "but it seemed
to be the only way l could get at Shaw"

tons he could to the mystifed and indignant Miss
Ellie. Il reckon that tenderfoot meant all right;
but he jest nacherally amt got brains enough to

store clothes and four-n-hand tie which caused
Binford to comment with some spleen: And he

yelled Towhead from his commanding position
top of an empty barrel.
"Swing the like swinging a gate;
Now your partners and pull your freight"
The dancers did his bidding enthusiastically, the
fiddler quickening his time to keep pace with the
flying feet. When the gents" had ''cut a caper"
and everybody had chasseed and "put

and in response to final admonition to thank

seats, Towhead shot a meaning glance at Bin
ford. who made supreme effort to shake off the
n11mbness that seemed to be gathering around his
heart. Then suddenly a loud whack sounded

plemented: so fashion, and with a none too
gentle motion rammed the pistol under the tail of

Then shutting of feet sounded in the adjoining
room he pushed Binford toward the door. "Now
scoot!"
Bnford obeyed with haunting sense of an undue
dorsa protuberance
Did you talk that Teller out of his spotted
socks?" Bowlegs asked tauntingly as the crowd
came in from the dining room.
No." replied Towhead, with significant grin;
"but he told me he was going to make you hard to
catch Says he doesn't like the Extensively imper-
tinent' way you look at him, and that unless you
wipe the expression off your face he will punch
1t off. That fellow IS wolf" Bowlegs was bristling
and Towhead continued 'He says he's going to
dance every dance with Miss Ellie, and if any little
bow-legged cow uncher doesn't like it he can
Il sorter believe you are lying" Bowlegs inter-
rupted, eying the other narrowly; "but if you

robbed him of the power of further speech.

crestfaen. He half resented the implied espersion
cast upon his cherished weapon, weapon he had
shown to the folks at home with much pride and an
unconscious air of bravado.
Towhead outlined his plan briefly. 'When the
affair is in full swing walk in, looking unconcerned
and then accidentally drop your six-shooter.'
Binford uttered quick =" Oil"
Yes, just pick it up coolly, put it back in your
hip-pocket and walk and ask Miss Ellie to
dance Miss Ellie is the damsel who has just
served us with this de1ectable repast.'
You will introduce me? l haven't had the
pleasure Binford began with foresight
That's not necessary at all, Towhead assured
him. Its one of our ree-and-easy ways, you
know. Then that little bow-egged, ong-chinned
critter over there" again Towhead glanced at the
other table where Bowlegs being boisterously
merry, will side up to you and say something
sassy. He keeps pretty close tabs on that little
girl and he doesn't like the cut of your jib, mean
the hue of your hose.
Binford followed the direction of Towhead's

finching, and as he thought not alto
gether friendly gaze of the man in
question. He lowered his own eyes
hastily. 1--WE noticed him taking

Extensively impertinent.
"Then's your chance" Towhead
continued impressively. Pull that
gun and tap him alongside the ear,
and your fortune is made"
Binford shifted uneasily in his seat.
Meanwhile what will he be doing?"
Towhead stuffed couple of oyster
crackers in his mouth before reply
ing. Before he has a chance to do
anything, some one will grab you
and some one will grab him. They
are always on the lookout for such
affairs. In fact, to make yours i'm
pressive you must pull it off first on
the program. When you are grabbed
you must play wolf. Struggle for your
life and boiler: Let me at him, let me
at him!' They will hustle you both
out of the hall"
And them"
Towhead appeared to choke on
bit of the cracker. That's all.
You will have arrived at the point
for which we are striving. Cow
boys like fellow with nerve You
will have proved yours and have
established your right to be respected.
1t is the only way. You will have
to do it sooner or later, and this is
your best opportunity. There will
be no slip, for shall be on hand to
grab Bow1egs'
That's good of YOU" Binford's
tone was mirthless but appreciative.
You know best"
They passed out of the room before
the noisy tableful had dispersed.
From a peg in the office Towhead
took a belt and scabbard from which
he distracted long-barreled Six
shooter. Binford eyed it with a not
altogether perfect assurance.
Stick this down in your jeans"
Towhead admonished, and then as
Binford looked his uncertainty, sup
plemented: So fashion," and with

upon him, as he coolly stopped down
and picked up the six-shooter and
replaced it in the band of his trousers.
A significant stir followed, and
Bow1egs made an inpulsive move
toward him, muttering something
incoherent. Binford looked steadily
and defant1y back and then walked
across the room to Miss Ellie. Bow
ing low before her, and blushing
like a peony, he asked her, with
what composure he could muster. for
the pleasure of the next dance. The
girl looked at him in bewildered en-
barrassment; but before she could
reply Binford found himself whirled
about and facing the angry Bowlegs.

game, is it? Well, you're too slow at
it, you pieded-shanked hiptopoto-

had stretched the surprised Binford
his length on the floor. Pinning him
there with one knee, the irate cow
boy continued: "I'll tell you some
thing right now that'l1 be good for
you to know. When you go to
make a gun-play on me, don't be
a week gittin' your gun, and don't
use my gun to do it with. I'd like to
know how in thunder you got a-hold
of that anyhow
He was cut short from further ex-
postulation by a heavy hand on his
shoulder and a gruff voice command
ing him: "Get up! I want to arrest
this teller for carrying firearms in the
town limits. I wonder if he thinks
he can come into a law-abiding
community and disturb the peace
this away. He'll have to get some
body to go his bail or he stays in the
jug"
Binford began to demonstrate; but
was promptly silenced by a curt re-
quest to "Shut up! You can have
your say later on" Wisely he fol-
lowed the town marshal from the hall
