packin'," said the outlaw called Jim.
Blacks head came up with the ac-
ton of a hawk about to swoop.
Duane glanced from Black to the
road. where he saw a crippled peon
carrying a tin bucket toward the river.
This peon was a half-witted Indian
who lived in a shack and did odd jobs
for the Mexicans. Duane had met him
often.
Jim, I'll take you up" replied
Black.
Something, perhaps a harshness in
his voice. caused Duane to whirl. He
caught a leaping CLEAN in the outlaws
eye.
Jaw, Bill, thet's too fur a shot,"
said Jasper, as Black rested an elbow
on his knee and sighted over the long.
heavy Colt. The distance to the peon
was about fifty PAGES, too far for wen
the most expert shot TO hit a moving
object SO small as a bucket.
Duane, m~arvelously keen in the
alignment of sights, was positive that
Black held too high. Another look at
the hard face, now tense and dark
with blood, confirmed Duane's sus-
piciOn that the outlaw was not aiming
at the bucket at all. Duane leaped
and struck the level gun out Of his
hand. Another outlaw picked 1t up.

The Simple Breakfast.

Over, under and through all eating,
the simple breakfast still stands SUI
preme, declares A. ]. r., in the Mime
apolis Journal. A glass of water, a
cereal or wheat biscuit with cream In
abundance and a peach from Colorado
sliced in, two slices of bacon not so
crisp that they break, two slices of
homemade bread comfortably toasted,
a cup of coffee poured upon the cream
and sugar and stopped at exactly the
right color, two of mothers dough-
nuts and, as you leave the table with
a sigh of relief, if it be possible to get
the hooks on one of baby's bits of choc-
olate candy for a topper, no great
harm is done. With that breakfast,
one may leave the house feeling that
he is fortified until the noon hour rolls
around again.
