"Oh, l did like it-but this is more the setting

with me, you know-to look after some OF his
interests in the mines here. Maybe you know
him--Mr. Sherman Joyce?" she said the name
very proud.
ND what do you think? did know him-he was

slow TO be accommodatin. She jerked up ner
horse along side of me and said, sort OF out OF
breath, I'm all turned round don't know which
road is which. l don't know which road to take to
get back to Keystone"
T LOOKED at her a minute I don't know just what
it was 1 liked best about her face. You know
how IL is in San Francisco when you're lookin' at
a lot of flower punches there the corner First,
you think it's the violets that makes them all look
good-then 1t appears to be the carnations-then
all of sudden, it surely is the daisies, and so on.
Her hair was the blow-away huffawuy kind,
but still it didn't act like it wanted to get very
far away from curln' round her face, which was as
much like a pink and white apple blossom as

she had the most speakin mouth ever saw.
She didn't need to say word-her lips Kept

looked mighty good to and it didn't take me
long to make up my mind.
"Tm going to Keystone" l says, turnin my
horse around 'just come along with me and I'll

But you going the other way!" she says,
surprised.

but what did 1 care? 81 was just turnin back TO

So she rode right along side of me, real

"How did little lady like you ever get out in

If you carry pistol?'
''You bet your life" 1 says, Jack Bruce amt
