Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1918-02-01

Bucks presence. AS he climbed the
bluff and mentally relived the last
hour he wondered how he had kept
from shooting Buck as soon as he saw
him. Still, that would have defeated
his main purpose, which was to make
Buck suffer. He was afraid he could
not make Buck suffer as Buck had
made him suffer, because there were
obstacles in the path of a perfect retri-
button.
Ward was not cruel by nature at
least he was not more cruel than the
rest of us-but as he went after Rat
tier and Bucks horse it pleased him to
know that Buck Olney was tied hand
and foot in his cabin and that he was
sick with dread of what the future
held for him.
Ward was gone an hour. He did not
hurry; there was no need. Buck could
not get away, and little suspense
would 90 him good.
Bucks face was pasty when Ward
opened the door. His eyes were a bit
CLASSY. And from the congested APP
pearance of his hands Ward judged
that he had tested to the full his help
lessness In his bonds. Ward looked at
him minute and got out the makings
Of smoke. His mood had changed
in bis absence. He no longer wanted

WV had gone out long ago, and ses
the dishpan on the stove with
water to heat lie remsde his bunk,
spreading on the army blanket which
! he took from the saddle on Rather.
He swept the floor as neatly as any
woman could have done it and laid
two wolf skins down In their places
where they did duty as rugs. He
washed and wiped his few dishes,
keeping Bucks knife always within
reach and sending an inquiring glance
toward Buck whenever that unhappy
man made the slightest movement,
though, truth to tell. Buck did not
make many. r. brought two pals of
water and set them on the bench in
side, and In the meantime he had cook
ed a mess of prunes and set them in a
bowl on the window sill beside his
bunk, where the air was coolest. He
stropped his razor painstakingly and
shaved himself in leisurely fashion and
sent an occasional glance toward his
prisoner from the looking glass. which
made Buck swallow hard at his Adj
ANS apple.
And Buck during all this time never
once opened his lips. except to lick his
tongue across them, and never once
took bis eyes off Ward.
..I've sure put the fear Of the Lord
into you, haven't /, Buck?'' Ward OBJ
served maliciously, wiping a blob of
hairy lather upon page torn from an
old mail-order catalogue. 81 was
kind hoping you had more nerve. /

prove I'm not joshing."
Buck swallowed again. but he made
no reply
Ward washed his face Ll a basin OF
steamfng water, got can of talcum
out of the dish cupboard and took the
soap shine of his cheeks and chin. He
combed his hair before the little mir
ror, trying unayailingly to take the
wave out of it with water and leaving
it more crinkly over his temples than
it had been in the first place, and re-
tied the four-in-hand under the soft
collar OF his shirt.
II wish you'd talk, Buck he said,
turning toward the other. He looked
yea boyish and almost handsome, ex-
cept for the expression Of his eyes,
which gave Buck the shivers, and the
