 T should think that would he sirnply inviting thieves to run away with them, said her friend That is handsome clock. and thieves like handsome clocks
 They do.' said the woman Out they never will steal this clock It ticks too loud. No wise thief will run away with clock that goes like a threshing machine. It isn't the alarm about his person that he is afraid of. for he can stop the clock but the occupants of the flat are likely to return before he gets safely away. and if loud-ticking clock is gone, they will miss it the minute they step in side the door and maybe give him hot chase for his plunder'

Du Sang" With his right hand he snapped the dice under Du Sang's nose and looked squarely into his eyes .'Got any Sugar Ruttes money"
 Du Sang for an instant looked keen ly back; his eyes contracted in that time to mere narrow slit. then, sud den as thought, he sprang back into the corner. Kennedy. directly acros the table. watched the lightning,like move. For the first time the crap dealer looked impatiently up.
 It was a showdown No one watch ing the two men under the window ,breathed for moment. Whispering Smith, mctionless, only watched the half-elosed eyes. You can't shoot craps,' he said coldly. What can YOU shoot, Pearline? You can't stop a man on horseback"
 Du Sang knew he must try for a quick kill or make a retreat. He nedy's teeth gleamed only ten feet away. and with his right hand halt under his coat lapel he toyed with his watch-c ham. McCloud had moved in from the slot machine and stood at the point of the table, look ng at Du Sang and laughing at him. Whisper ing Smith threw off all pretense. Take your hand away from your gun, you albino! I'll blow your head of1 left-handed if you pull Win you get out of this town tonight? If you can't drop man in the saddle at 2S0 yards. what do you think you'd look like aft CT break with me? Go back to the whelp that hired you. and tell him when he wants friend of mine to send man that can shoot. If you are within 20 miles of Medicine Bend at daylight I'll rope you like fat COW and drag you down Front street."
 Du Sang. with burning eyes, shrank narrower and smaller into his corner

As to the luncs.

The lungs are the life When a man can breathe lnstily no ordinary malady can kill him. l know an old chap who was given mp three years ago by seven able" physicians and one able" surgeon. Their verdict was: He can't last over three weeks He is still in the ring. while three Of tho doc tors have eashed in their checks. A man can live 40 days without food. few days without water. and few minutes without air. The lungs are the soul A man can live without stomach. bowels. heart, liver. kidneys, spleen or brains-but he can't live without air. The air cleans the blood Drink air by the million cubic fee. and you will never die Don't wait for the tank of oxygen to come along Drink deeply of the common ether. Have it pure and plug yourself full every hour.

 Whispering Smith saw that he would not draw He taunted him again in low tones. and backing away, spoke laughinalv to McClaud While Ken nody covered the corner Smith hacked to the door and waited for the two to join hni They halted moment at he door. then they backed slowly up the steps aud out into the street

 Where is your hat, George-the one he put the bullet through?" asked Whispering Smith, limp in the big chair. Barn it up; he thinks he missed you. Burn it up now. Never let him find out what close call you had. Du Sang. Yes. he Is cold booded as wildcat and cruel as a soft bullet Du Sang would shoot a dying man, George. just to keep him squirming in the dirt.
