It was not difficult to find Henry

ton and drinks, knew him as they
knew their thumbs, and q casual round
Of the saloons soon located him In the
back room Of the Waldorf.
Say" began Bud, walking blufly
up to him. the proprietor of that res
taurant back there tells me l made q
mistake when l insisted on paying for
your meal Jest wanted to let you
know"
"Oh, that's all right young mar"
returned Old Henry, looking up with
humorous smile; I'VE all of US make
our mistakes l knowed you didn't
mean no offense and so l never took
none. Fact is, l liked you all the bet
ter for 1t. This country is getting set
tied up with q class Of people that
never give a nickel to nobody. You
paid for that meal like 1t was nothing,
and never SO much as looked at me.
Sit down, sit down. want to talk to
you'll"
They sat down by the stove and fell
into a friendly conversation In which
nothing more was said of the late in
advertence, but when Bud rose to 60
the old man beckoned him back.
Hold on" he protested; don't 60
off mad. l want to have talk with
YOU on business. You seem to be a
pretty good young fellow-maybe we
can make some dicker. What are you
looking for in these parts?'
well" responded Bud, some kind
of leasing proposition, reckon. Me
and my pardner jest come In from
Mexico. over near the Chihuahua line,
and we don't hardly know what we
do want yet"
Eyes, I've noticed that pardner OF
YOURS" remarked Henry Kruger dryly.
"He's a great talker. l was listening
TO YOU boys out on the street there,
having nothing else to do much. and
being kinder on the lookout for man,
ANYWAY and it struck me liked your
line Of talk best"

served Bud, with grin. Il never said
a word hardly"
THAT'S It," returned Kruger signih'
cantly: this Job I've got calls for a
man like that"
"Well. Phil's all right" spoke up
Bud. with sudden warmth. I'VE been
MARINERS for two years now and he
never give nothing away yet! He
talks but he don't forget himself And
the way he can palaver them Mexicans

VERY likely, very likely" agreed
Kueer. and then he sat . while IN
silence.

All right. pardner," he observed;
If that's the deal she's probably look
ing for you. I'll meet you In the room"
Jaw, come on" urged the other, but
his heart was not in it, and he turned
gaily away up the main street.
Left to himself, the big man went on
to his lunch-counter, where he ordered
oysters. "A dozen in the milk" Then
he ordered beefsteak, to make up
| for several he had missed, and asked
the cook to fry it rare. He was Just
negotiating for a can Of pears that had
caught his eye when an old man came
in and took the stool beside him, pick
Ing up the menu with trembling hand.
Give me cup Of Coffee" he said to
the waiter, 'and"-he gazed at the bill
of fare carefully-"and a roast-beef
sandwich. No, just the cofsee!" he
corrected, and at that Bud gave him a
look. He was a small man, shabbily
dressed and with scraggy whiskers.
and his nose was very red.
Here" called Bud. coming to an in

"All right" anwered the waiter, who
was no other than Sunny Jim, the pro-
prietor, and, whisking up a sandwich
from the sideboard, he set it before
the old man, who glanced at him in
silence. For fraction of second he
regarded the sandwich alphabetically;
then, with the aid of his coffee, he
made away with 1t and slipped down
off his stool.
Say" observed the proprietor, as
Bud was paying his bill, do you know
who that old-timer WASP"
| What old-timer?" inquired Bud,
who had forgotten his brusk benefac-
ton.
why, that old Teller that you treat
ed to the sandwich"
"Oh-him! Some old drunk around
town." hazarded Bud.
well, he's that, too," conceded
Sunny Jim, with smile. But femme

need to punch any more cows. Thats

and apologize"
"Oh, that's all right" assured the
proprietor; The won't take any offense
That's just like old Henry-he's kinder
