'I'm sort OF nervous. and any sudden
noise sets me on
AS for Glass, that corpulent indi-
vidual had disappeared as If into thin
air; only a stir in one of the hunks
betrayed his hiding place. At the
first sight of Willie's revolver he had
dived for refuge and was now fat
tened against the wall, a pillow
pressed over his head to deaden the
expected report.

Glass did not hear him

convulsion ran through the trainers

Glass, it's all over"
Larry muttered In a stined voice,

1T was mistake"
He opened his tight-shut lids, rolled
over and thrust forth a round, pallid
face. He saw Slower laughing, and
beheld the white teeth of Carara, the
Mexican, who said:
Perhaps the Senior is sleepy"
Finding himself the object OF what
seemed to him particularly senseless
joke, the New Yorker crept forth, his
face suffused with anger. Strangely
enough, he still retained the pipe In
his fingers.
Say, are youse guys tryin' to kid
me?" he demanded, roughly. Now
that no firearm was in sight, he was
master Of himself again; and seeing
the cause of his undignified alarm
leaning against the table, he stepped
toward him threateningly. IF you try
that again, young Teller, I'll chip you
on the jaw, and give you a long
dreamy nap" He thrust a short
square fist under Willie's nose.
That scholarly gentleman straight
ened up, and edged his way to one
side. Glass following aggressively.
You're a husky, amt your" said
the little man, squirting up at the red
face above him.

he bumped violently into the other. 1,
was with difficulty he could restrain
himself from crushing him.
Slower gasped and retreated, while
Carara crossed himself, then sidled
back OF a bunk. Mr.. Cloudy stepped
silently out through the open door and
held his thumbs.
You start to kid me and I'll walloI

figured suddenly. An instant since he
had been a stoop-shouldered, short
sighted, Insignificant person, more
gentle hammered than child, but In
a flash he became a palpitating fury
an evil atom surcharged with such
terrific venom that his antagonist
drew back involuntarily. Don't you
make no threat'nin' moves in my di
rection, or you'll go East in an ice
