 Well, if that's SO, m pay iiy sell and owe the rest to Brooke. Hut thesr he claims the wholo star atajo." .,
 "In that case you owe 'he wbole Of the money to Brooke" Nt +

 As it happened, Jcsse. WIS sp sct-e witness to Mir. BIoctes inspselior of the Star mules at thei, pasture bt low his ranch. Here is his rarr9sire;
 "The trouble for theso poor mules was that they followed a false rod dess. Their beii mare True ought fc have been old enough tn know hette; but at the ago of twonty.tbrcp, wiA gray hair and hald with lrr. rhc v,is still female
 "She and her mules had been graz ing maybe half d mic when my now stallion. young Jclotlipphat. happened along with bis hareni of twenty y-five mares. smelling down wind for Q drink. The mares looked 90 snug an6 grass-fat they could scarcely waddlo but Jehoshaphat was lfuli Of sinfu' pride. waltzins high stop at the sigb' of Prue. f.N ,4i,n
 "You should have ttep Prue play. ing up innocent modesty in front Of Jehoshaphat, pretending she wasn't there, making believe rhe was too sud den. didn't approve of tho gentleman fiattering his vanity with all sorts oi airs and graces. Prue paraded her self along in front of tho harem tc spite the married mares, ard all hei mules came worshiping along in ppr suit. Those mares gave the mulea th, biggest kicking you ever saw in you life. .e.r 'fi
 There was me lying on Face Rocl like a little boy at a circus, and there was the performance proceeding g, joyful that l never saw Brooke unti he rode down right Into the rn'ddl, of the fun. Jehoshaphat got mad aud went from Brooke, chasing him around the pasture. Prue chased J.hosha phat, the mules chased Prue, she har em bit and kicked at everybody Brooke galloped deliriops in all dlreo tions, and 1 laughed until corl' hardly hold down the rocks.
 "Of course. if Brooke hadn't beer a mere mistake on earth. he woulS have herded gently to tho neares corral. and cut the two outfits apart But Brooke proceeded to loso hi' temper. pulled his gun, jumped bi wretched sorrel behind a tree, and le drive. He missed the stallion. IT. shot Prue through the heart.
 There was nothing after that {, keep tho sixty Star mules together Some went up the canon, some down few even swan the Fraser, but n, heft of them climbed the big cliffs an' vanished into the forest
 f'I reckon Pete and his arriero could collect those mules and b-oal them to loving a new madrina. BG with Brooke as cargador. the srcR Star Pack.train's numbered vTitb h past. and Mathson's partncrFhiY I scarce worth arguing. r, rtsF
