Euchre, grufiy. '"Tie on. them two

"Euchre, I hope you're not going to
get in bad here. I'm afraid you are.
Let me do the rest now" said Duane.
The old outlaw eyed him sarcastic
cally.
"Thet d be turrible now, wouldn't
it? II you want to know, why I'm
in bad already. I didn't tell you tibet
Alloway called me last night. He's
gettin' wise pretty quick"
"Euchre, you're going with me?'
queried Duane. suddenly divining the
truth.
"Wal, l reckon. Either to hell or

you do some hard figgerin' while 1 go
nosin' round. It's pretty early. which

Euchre put on his sOmbrero, and as
he went out Duane saw that he wore
gun-and-cartridge belt. 1t was the
| first time Duane had ever seen the
outlaw armed.
Duane packed his few belongings
into his saddle-bags, and then carried
the saddles out of the corral. The
hour had arrived, and he was ready.
Time passed slowly. Finally he
| heard the shuttle of Euchre's boots
| on the hard path. The sound was
| quicker than usual.
When Euchre came around the
corner of the cabin Duane was not so
astounded as he was concerned to see
the outlaw white and shaking. Sweat
dripped from him. He had wild look.
Luck ours-so-fur, Buck!" he
painted.

I'm turrible sick. Jest killed a man.

Degers. Reckon he's askin' questions.
Anyway, was sure glad to see him
