CHAPTER H..
De Spain Changes His Mind.

49," #
Before De Spain had walked far he
heard music from the open.air dancing
pavilion in Grant street. Stirred by an
idle curiosity, he turned the corner
and stopped to watch the crowded
couples whirling UP and down the
raised platform under paper lanterns
and red streamers to the music Of an
automatic piano. He took his place In
a fringe Of onl0okers TINT filled the
sidewalk. But he was thinking IS he
stood, n0t-of the boisterous dancing or
the clumsy dancers, but OF the broken
lever and the defeat at the fairgrounds.
1t still ranked in his mind. While he
stood thinking the music ceased.
A man, who appeared to be In au.
thorlty, walked to the center Of the
dancing-lO0r, made nm announcement
that De Spain failed to catch, aud
looked toward n young couple stand.
ing in an attitude Of waiting at the
hend Of the hall.
All Eyes being turned their way, De
SPANS attention rs well was drawn
toward them. The man was powerful
In stature, and rather too heavy, hui
straight as an Indian. His small, red
dish face was tanned by the sun md
| wind, and from the handsome hat down
10 the small, high.heeled and spurret
boots, he wore the distinctive cowboy
rig Of the mountains. De Spnir
seemed to recall TINT this particular
fellow had crowcd the Ioudest wher

 A typical Fairbanks picture, 'ir Again-Out Again presents the smil- ing Doug" at his best in subject Of rapid fire theme and hundreds of hearty laughs.
