smiled to himself as he recognized
the diminuitiVe little lady as a being
with a spirit Of her own. Then he
rode on his way, thinking of another
certain little lady who filed his mind
continually It was a rough commU-
nifty among which he had cast his lot
at the gUlch, but he had found a jewel
rare amid the incOngTuous environ
ment. It was Velma Dalton, the
daughter of the district judge Grit
iths, as a rising young lawyer, had
won the good opinion of the Judge.
The latter represented the reform
element of the border settlement. It
was by his influence and support that
Grifiths had been elected mayor.
That position was proving anything
but a bed Of roses. The rough ele-
ment Of the gulch was opposed to in
novations. Defeated at the polls, they
went about crOss-gTained and Venge-
full There were mUtteTings of dis
content and yelled threats. The out
cast element, however, feared the
law, and the dignity and determina-
ton Of the judge had so far prevent
ed any serious outbreak.
Grifiths reached the gulch just aft
er dark. AS he passed the Red Beaver
tavern he caught the echoes of some
wild jubilation. He learned its cause
when he reached home. His Iandlady
looked frightened and agitated.
"Oh, am so glad you have gotten
home safe," she exclaimed. "They
have been here"
''Who has been here?" questioned
Grifiths.
1.-THE committee from the rustlers.
It's about renewing the license of the
dance hall, sir"
81 answered them once" spoke
Grifiths, his lips setting firmly.
''They have my ultimatum"
Eyes, sir; but they threaten a big
row They had Giant Gabe with

ugly, and bound to do you up if you
don't grant that license"
GTifiths paid no attention to this
warning. He felt it beneath his dig
nifty. He called upon Vienna that
same evening. Her father was seri-
Gus and she was anxious over the sit
uatiOn. Neither, however, attempted
to influence him to recede one step
from his fixed position regarding the
carrying out of the law.
The next morning Grifiths pro-
ceeded quietly to his Office. He had
heard of a wild debauch at the tav-
ern and Of this imported bravo, Giant
Gabe, and his gang. 1t seems they
had appeared in similar Circumstance
es as hirelings to help the half-sub-
dued rOwdy element of the towns
voting for reform, hoping to intimi-
date the champions of the new moves
ment.
The convivialists Of the evening
previous were sleeping off the effects
of their debauch during the morning.
Just after noon, however, as Grif-
fiths was crossing the public square,
he saw a hooting, struggling mob
pouring out through the doors Of the
tavern.
At their head was a Ted-shirted,
brawny-fsted fellow over six feet
in height and viciously intoxicated.
Grifiths doubted not that this was
Giant Gabe. Urged by the crowd he
hustled along to the spot where Grit
fifth had halted. He squared off in
front of him, egged on by his turbu-
lent cohorts.
You're the mayor, they tell meT'

ties. Rattlesnakes-I eat EN-"
Giant Gabe glared horribly, leaped
two feet in the air and cracked his
heels together.
