Haven't / been tellin' We I'm think.
In of it? It's only yer way Of hintin'
that's funny to me, yer way OF sayin'
I'd make more money. because ye're
afraid Of preachin' Mt any Of us, partly
because We know the little good it'd
be and partly because ye have h'lmor.
Well, I'm thinkin' yell git yer way.
I'm willin' to go into the missionary
business with ye!'

Eyes, We arew cried Sheehan. Eyes,
sir! It's a thing We prob'ly haven't
had the nerve to say to yerself since
boy, but that's yer notion inside.
Ye're little better than missionary.
It took me long while to understand
what was drivin' ye but I do now.
And we've gone the right way about it,
because we know yell stand fer us
when we're in trouble and fight fer
us till we git square deal, as ye're
goin' to fight fer Happy now"
Joe looked deeply troubled. "Never
mind" he said Grossly and with visible
embarrassment "You think you could
not make more at the Beach IL you
ran it Old my plan?"
I'm game to try" said Sheehan
slowly. I'm too old to hold 'em down

"Held as a witness"
"I'm not sorry fer herv' said the red
bearded man emphatically. Women
O that kind are so light headed it's q
wonder they don't float. Think of her
pickin' up Cory's gun from the floor
and hidin' It in her clothes! Took it
fer granted it was Happy's and
thought she'd help him by hidin' 1t!
There's hard point fer We, Joe-to
prove the gun belonged to Cory.
There's nobody about here could
swear to it. / couldn't myself, though
I forced him to stick it back in his
pocket yesterday. He was wan
derer, too and yen have to send a
keen one to trace him, Pm thinkin', to
find out where he got it SOS We can
show it in court"
'T'm going myself. I've found out
that he came here from Denver"
'tAnd from where before that?''
Il don't know, but I'll keep on trav-

That's right, my boy" exclaimed
the other heartily. cit may be long

asked earnestly, leaning forward in
his chair-"did 1t strike We that the
Tocsin was amin more to do Happy
harm because Of you than himself?"

window. 1--WE thought that over, and
1t seemed possible that I might do
Happy more good by giving his case to
some other lawyer"
mo, sirr' exclaimed the proprietor
of Beaver Beach loudly. They've be-
gun their attack, they're bound to keep
it up, and they'd manage to turn it to
the dlscredit Of both Of ye. Besides,
Happy wouldn't have no other lawyer.
He'd ruther be hung with you fightin'
fer him than be cleared by anybody
else. ] b'lieve it. on my soul dol
But look here" he went on, leaning
still farther forward. Il want to know
il it struck We that this morning the
Tocsin attacked We in a way that was
somehow vi'ienter than ever before"
