the atmosphere with hostility and quietly
rubbed him the wrong way. Whenever he
was in the presence Of the newcomer he felt
the tugging OF an irritating and insistent
antagonism and he did not always fully
conceal it. John Bar ,ett, Lucas and one
or two more had noticed it and they began
to prophesy future trouble between the
two The other man who disliked Elkins
was Red Connors; but what was more nat
ural' Red, being Hopalongs closest com-
panion, would be very apt to share his
friend antipathy. On the other hand, as
if to prove Hopalong's dislike to be unwar-
ranted, Johnny Nelson swung far to the
other extreme and was enthusiastic in his
liking for the cattle scout, and laughingy
twitted Hopalong for allowing "a lickin' at
poker to make him sore" This was the
idea that Elkins was quietly striving to have
generally accepted.
The affair thus hung fire, Elkins chahng
at the delay and cautiously working for an
opening which at last presented itself. BY
a sort Of mutual, unspoken agreement, the
men in Cowan's that night passed up the
cards and sat swapping stories. Cowan,
swearing at a smoking lamp, looked up with

but with sorrowfuI shake Of the head, he
turned away and passed out, not far behind
the others
"Clannish, amt they3" remarked Elkins,
gravely.
Those remaining we're regarding him
sternly, questioningly, Cowan with deep
frown darkening his face. "You hadn't
oughter said that, Elkins." The reproof
was almost an accusation.
Elkins looked steadily at the speaker.
"You hadn't oughter let me say it, he
replied How did / know he was so
touchy?" His gaze left Cowan and lin
gered in turn on each Of the others "Some

The faces about him cleared and heads
nodded in comprehcnding consent.
Yes, ! reckon you have, agreed Cowan
slowly "Yes, reckon mcbby--you

Il was noon by the sun when Hopalong
and Rec. shook hands south Of the old ford
and the former turned to enter the brush.

called earnestly. "Ill be here waitin' for

You needn't fear for tn market prices will

suit Of thought and study, and it paralleled
Bucks own private opinion.
Needless to say Elkins was welcome

as good fellow. AT the Bar-ao he found
only two men who would not thaw to him.
and he was possessed Of too much tact to
try to force them to like him. One was

seemed to be growing, the Bar-ao puncher

tn .moa that counts. an' TIL best shot gets
in tn most. wouldn't want to stand up
agin' Hoppy an short gun, not in that
game, and Red shook his head with de-
csion.
The argument waxed hot With the ex-
ccption Of Hopalong, who sat silently watch
ful, everyone spoke his opinion and repeated
it without regard to the Others. Finally,
above the uproar, Cowans below was
heard. "Shut up! Shut nbl For Gods
sake, gut! What does it natter Who
cares2 Never saw such bunch Of tinder
here, all Of you, play cards an forget about

"All right" muttered Johnny. "But tn

ing for a bucket Of water. This is a game

The chairs scraped on the rough focr as
the men pulled up to table. Il don't care

shuffied the cards. I'm no fancy Colt ex-
pert, but I'd take chance With any man
as totes gum. Leastaways, Of course, |
wouldn't want to take no such advantage
OF lame man."
The effect would have been ludicrous but
for its deadly significance Cowan, stoop-
ing to 60 under the bar, remained in that
hunched-up attitude, his every faculty CON
centrated in his ears; the match on its way
to the cigarette between Reds lips was held
until it burned his fingers, when il was
dropped from mere reflex action, the hand
still stiffiy aloft; Lucas, half in and half out
, Of his chair, seemed TO have got just where
he intended, making no effort TO seat him

Hopalong saw him torn from his shelter
and whisked down the raging torrent like
an arrow from bow The Bar-2o puncher
leaped from the bank, shot under the yellow /,
flood and arose, gasping and choking, many
yards downstream, fighting madly to get
the muddy water out Of his throat and eyes.
AS he struck out with all his strength down
the current, he caught sight Of Tex torn
from a jutting tree limb, and he shouted
encouragement and swan all the harder, if
such thing were possible. Texs course
was checked for moment by back cur
rent, and as he again felt the pull Of
the rushing stream Hopalongc hand
gripped his collar and the fight fog safe-7

a grin and burned his fingers as a roar Of
laughter marked the point Of droll reminis-

They was both bad, an neither of 'em

went unseen by all but Hopalong, who stiff
fened with the raging suspicion of being
twitted on his own deformity. The humor
Of The tale failed TO appeal to him, and when
his full senses returned Lucas was in the

grinning. 80 ~F+ss

turning. "They won't give us no peace till
&c iskcs all their money from en-
@open game" prompted Cowan, glanc-
ing at Elkins.
"Shorel Everybody in that wants to, :"
replied Lucas, following the Others to the
table.
When the deal began Elkins was seated
across the table from Hopalong, facing him
for the first time since that day in Muddy
Wells, and studying him closely; but he
played good game and Hopalong' custom
airy good luck was not in evidence That
instructive feeling which singles out two
dueists in a card game was soon expe-
rienced by the Others, who were careful, as
became good players, to avoid being caught
between them; in consequence, when the
game broke up, Elkins had most Of Hopa-
longs money. At one period of his hfe
Elkins had lived on poker for five years and
lived well. But he gained more than money
in this game, for he had made friends with
the players, Hopalong alone treating him
with reserve; and this was cleverly swung
50 that it appeared to be a temporary
crouch caused by the sting OF defeat AS
the Bar-2o man was known to be given to
moods at times this was accepted as the
true explanation and gave promise Of hotly
contested games ior revenge later on.

thicket, and two Of his three shots went
home. Elkins groaned with pain and fear
as he realized that his right kneecap was
broken and would make him slow in his
movements. But he had plenty Of courage
and he returned the fire with remarkable
quickness.
Hopalong wiped the blood from his face
and jeered again. " won't let tn man you
came with wait long-I'll tell him as soon
as get back to Redp He wormcd his way
to a new place and when he got half way
there he called out again "I8ows yore
health" in mock sympathy
Elkins lied manfully, and when he looked
for another shot his enemy was on the fur
ther bank, moving up to get behind him.
He did not know Hopalong' i new position
until he raised his head to glance down the
dried river bed, and he was informed by
bullet that nicked his ear. He swore and
hazarded return shot, and heard Iiopa
long laugh ring out again.
"Like til story Lucas told tn best shots

and unusual sound had caught Hopalongs
