On the Road.
b wrong boy!

The wrong boy!
For a moment 1 could not under
stand nor believe; and when the mean
ing OF the words came to me l CROPPED
in mental darkness. But there was no
time for speculation. Half in a daze |
heard a roar Of curses, orders, a crash
OF glass as the lamp was extinguished,
and over all came the prolonged growl
OF a wolf-voice, hoarse and shaken
with anger. There was a vision or a
wolf-head rising above the outline or
faces a few yards away, dark, dis
torted, fierce, with eyes that blazed
threats, and in an instant l found my
self in the center of a struggling,
shouting, swearing mass OF savage
men, fighting with naught but the In
stinct of blind rage. / doubt not that
/ was as crazy as the rest. But IN
my madness there was n idea strong
in my mind. 1t was to reach the eveil
face and ~snake-eyes of Tom Terrill,
and stamp the life out of him. With
desperate rage l shouldered and
fought till his white face with it's
hatred was next to mine,
till the fingers of my left hand gripped
his throat, and my right hand tried
to beat out his brains with a six
shooter.
Damn you'll" he gasped, striking
fiercely at me. I've been waiting for

1 Enlightened my grip and spoke no
word. He writhed and turned, striv'
ing to free himself. l had knocked his
revolver from his hand, and he tried
in vain to reach 1t. A trace Of fear
stole into the venomous anger Of the
one eye that was unobscured, as he
strove without success to guard him
self from my blows. But he gave q
sudden thrust, and with a sinuous
writhe he was free, while ! was car
ried back by the rush Of men with the
vague impression that something was
amiss with me. Then a great light
famed up before me in which the
struggling mob, the close hall and
room, and the universe itself melted
away, and I was alone.
The next impression that came tt
me was that Of a voice from an i'm
measurable distance.

Christmas time, and | had just
begun when you rode up Can
you wait till I have SPANKED the
other nine?'
"Of course, bu. may | ask why
you do it? They look to me 10
