vi VI yep" was the
M WA terse response. Traw-
HA|III.RX ley shook the snow
III from his hat and
VI reached for the bot
r tie.
Informative sort of cuss," said
Grigeson. undressing no one in par
ticular, after Trawley had set down
his glass and had given no evidence
OF continuing his remarks. Some
people sort of exudes information
spills II reckless-like all over the
landscape. I'd hate to trust a secret
to fellow like that"
'Twouldn't be secret long II you
knew It," said Trawley with a good
nAtured laugh, as he rolled and light
ed a cigarette. 81 saw Peters-which
is more than you did when you wen;
down last week. You was so Uusy
telling the boys I'm the Palace how
you licked that wildcat that you let
the professor get on the Denver train
and plumb out Of town"
There was lots Of time" said
Griggson. pacihcally. IL knew you d
be goin' down that way this week
You're better talker than | am
Il don't talk so much" was the
ready retort, but | guess | say more
when | do. Not havin' licked any
Wildcats or grizzlies this past we ak.
I fest GOT one drink and then chased
the professor up. He's plumb sorry,
but that Central City bunch got their
brand on him He's corralled two
days before Christmas, SOS the gang'll
have plenty Of time to round him up
In case We try to kidnap him
1They only want him to play for
the doings Christmas, but he's to re-
port two days before. He said he'd
rather come to us, but when you 1T
out OF town without leavin' word
for him, he s'posed we didn't want
him and he hitched up with the Gem
tral City outfit when he got back"
1--WE might telegraph to Denver"
suggested Griggson quickly, noting
the dark glances cast his way. I'VE
can get a band there and 1t will be
a big town band, too"
II did better than that" declared
Trawley. II telephoned a chap Peters
put me next to. He's an agent for
those sort of things. He says there
amt even a German band nor Jews
harp player that hasn't had an en-
gagement for Christmas this last
three weeks. I guess it'll have to be
Blonde Betty and the piano after
ALL"
II guess I'll go over and see Miss
Bennett and tell her." said Griggson
with grin.
BY telling Nell Bennett he not only
escaped the caustic comment which
he knew would follow Bob Trawley's
announcement, but he would prevent
Trawley from having the chat with
the girl which he knew Trawley had
counted upon.
The whole camp OF Amara (re-
named from Bitter Creek was in love
with dainty Nell Bennett.
She was different from the other
women in the absurd little town Her
father had been newspaper man
in the East before he was ordered 10
Colorado for his health, and he had
started a newspaper in Amara be-
cause II was all he knew how TO do.
The men had seen to IL that the
paper had prospered, and when Milo
Bennett early passed to his reward
Nell assumed editorial command and
the paper grew with the town.
II was she who, in her editorials,
had famed the fires OF civic pride to
glowing flame. but 1t was to Bob
Trawley that she had turned for the
editorials chiding the rival town OF
Central City. His unlimited vocabu-
larry had given Trawley an advantage
