Steamy had to turn him over to the hospital
when he reached Las Vegas the next day.
The medical sharp said that the New York
mans condition was the result Of some
severe shock.
'Steamy Burnham never raised his voice
much above q conversations tone when
he was giving utterance to his little COM
plants about things, and there wasn't
anything vicious or alarming about his
looks, either. His face was as candid as
a red apple and he never reckoned on hurt

twists and kinks that Steamy ave to or

present to bear the brunt OF it, but, any
how, Steamy hadn't got through saying

worried look on his face, tasted that corn
starch pudding again and he was as mad
as a dislodged ella toad when he found
that IL was nothing but ourdled paste, as
sour as buttermlk and not even fit for the
ranch hogs.
AFTER that all Of the camp cooks In the
Cochise country used strategy or persuasion
or anything else they could think Of to
keep Steamy away from their cooking plants
while they we're working, for they didn't
want to take any chances.
'Steemy's cussing only struck In once;
but that ono kind Of alarmed him, 90 that
afterward he didn't give vent to his full
powers Of expression, except at long inter-
walls. Steamy was driving his six mules
into the outskirts OF Las Vegas one night,
after having been on a three weeks freight

one Of the big mottled brown and white
kind, flew smack into his face, and, being
surprised over the encounter, nipped away

before continuing his flight.
1T was moonlight. and Steamy fired

owl, without, Of course, having q chance
to hit It. for the bird only made q hardly

Ing pleasantly at the wharf rat barkeep
from st. Loo, started In to utter a few
thoughts that occurred to him at the mo-
ment with reference to whiskey that didn't
know enough to travel right.
"That wharf rat barkeep was the color Of
back yard red hollyhock In less than forty
seconds, and before Steamy had got through
unravelling his line Of ideas about contrary
whiskey that hard ombrey Of a rum singer
from the st. Loo levee had brokea out all
over his body In the worst case Of hives
ever seen In the Southwest from Santa Fe
to the Needles.
sThe sawbones found, too. that he had
q bad case Of shingles, standing out like

from Phoenix came into the Coohiso country
to help on q bit Of hacienda building.
Steamy, passing with his six mule team,
stopped of for q few minutes to rest and
enjoy the shade and watch the building
operations.
while looking on at the job a Piece CT
scantling fell on Steamy's foot. Steamy,
without q word, sat down, pulled of his bctt,
