 q knowed you didn't understand that Reds off the trail forever Mig zoo rejoined gently. 't'I knowed you wouldn't be accusing him so rancid had you been posted on his funeral. y
 Wilfreds felt great relief, then a great wonder.
 eeYes. he's dead. I don't say he's bet. ter off don't know-but l guess the world is.l--I don't like to -censureS Sthens that's departed; Brick Willock is stiii with us, and him the county can't say enough against His life wouldn't be worth two bits if anybody; laid eyes on i'm. Consider his high handed do- fncs. Wasn't it enough in the past to kill Reds brother, but what he must needs collect his pals, stop the stage coach, shoot two men trying to get, Red, and one of 'em the innocent dr1V- CT? You say yes. But hold on. That ain't all he done. No, sir. The very next day after Red sWOre out that war rant-and it was yesterday, if you ask me-what is saw when we men or Mangum comes out of our doors! Three corpses lying on the sidewalk
 
 Wait. I'm coming to that One was that driver, one was the pard that got shot with the driver, the other was Red Kimball his own seIf.''
 'sI knew the bodies had been carried away from the trail,'' exclaimed Will fred in perplexity.
 ssBut you didn't know they had been brung to town all this distance to be laid beside Red. You didn't know Red had been stabbed so he could be added too. You didn't know the three of them had /been left on the asttsaet to rile up evefy man with blood ln his veins Why, Wilfred, it's an insult to the whole state of Texas. Such highland ed doings ain't to be bore If Brick WNlock don't want to be tried in court, is that an excuse for killing off all that might witness against him? It might of been once. But we're deter mined to have ae county of law abiding citizens. Such free living has got to be nipped in the bud or we'll have an other No Mans Land. am the-er- as sheriff of Greer county I am al am the angel of civilization, you may say.''
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-11-03

time to display a sense of the 1udicrous. The young man hotly burst into passionate argument and Reasonable hypothesis.
 Waving aside AIizzoos protest, Will fred elaborated his theory of an Indi- an attack, described Bricks peaceable disposition, his gentleness to Lahoma. then dwelt on the friendship between himself and Brick and the relations be- tween himself and Bricks ward.
 .sIt' all comes to this,'' Mizzoo de clared: eff you could make me think WiI1ock harmless lamb, and as in nocent, it wouldn't change conditions. This neighborhood calls for his life and'd take it if in reach, and my war rant calls for his arrest. All I can promise is to get him, if possible, be- hind the bars before the mob gets him in a rope.''
 7 Wilfred permitted himself the pleas ure of taunting Aizzoo with the very evident truth that before Wilfock was hanged or imprisoned he must first be caught.
 Mizzoo grinned good naturedIy "Yap. We'll, we've got a clew locked up in jail right now that could tell us some thing, I judge, and will tell us some thing before set free. It's name is Bill Atkins. He's wise old coon. but as sour as a boiled owl-nothing as yet to be negotiated with him than if he was a bobcat catched in a trap. We're, hoping time'1 mellow him-,tinne and the prospect of being took out and swung from the nearest 1imb.''
 Wnfred insisted on an immediate visit to Bill. Brick declared he wouldn't tell Bill his hiding place. he said, 'Efor he didn't want to get him into trouble. Hell tell me if he knows anything, and if he doesn't it's an out rage to shut him up, old as he is and as rheumatic as he's oId.''
 On the way to the rudely improvised prison AIizzoo defended himself. "He wasn't too old and rheumatic to fight like a wildcat. Why, he had to be lifted up bodily and carried into his cell. Not a word can we get out of him or a bite of grub into him. I be- lieve that old codgers just too obsti- natefto dieI''
 When they reached the prison door the crowd gathered about them, eager for news, watching Adizzoo unfasten the door as if he were unlocking the secret to sWilIock's whereabouts. There were loud inpreca tions on the head of the murderer and fierce prophecies as to what would happen to Bill if he preserved his discriminating silence. It seemed but moment before hurrying forms from many directions packed themselves into a mass before the jail.
 The cells were in the basement The only entrance to the building was by means of a flight of six steps leading to an unroofed platform before the door of the story proper. NIizzoo and Wilfred, standing on this platform, were lifted above the heads of perhaps a hundred nien, who watched eagerly the dangling bunch of keys. Mizzoo had stationed three deputies at the foot of the steps to keep back the mob, for if the excited men once rushed into the jail nothing. could check their course.
 Mizzoo whispered to Wilfred, "We'd better get in as quick as possible
 The words were lost in the increas- ing roar of voices. He spoke again:
