You must've needed money about that
time mighty bad
Now, listen, you damned lizard
hearted, carrion-souled buzzard:
There's a train through here at 40.
You'll be settin' here when she comes
through, and you'll get on her and re-
move yourself from this respectable
community, where they amt nothin'
low-downer than a gentleman coyote.
And if you come nozin Ground these
parts again, I'll diyulge your plans and
specifications to some Of my friends
out to the Lonesome L., and there's
a nice big blackberry tree CROWN on
the side of mesa all by itself over
to Eagle Draw that you could see plain
and conspicuous for seven miles.
at shore would be a real inspirin'
sight to watch Hyena swingin' IN
the breeze seven miles away, off where
you can't get no SMELL"
So jeff goes away from there,
leavin' the guy huddled up on that
there truck. He united old Firefy and
heads him out toward the country,
and then he has thought and turns
him back again and rides around by
the Empire Restaurant. Old Firehy
is so used to that place that he stors
and let's his head down, and jeff goes
in. There amt nobody around but
Peter, the waiter what helps them
that amt fayorites and demands the
services Of divine Annette. jeff sits
down on a stool.
where's the gal?" he says when
Pete slouches up. There amt no re-
spect at all in Pete's SLOUGH and he
amt none particular to conceal the
fact that he's giyin' jeff the quiet hos
laugh.
"Her?" says Pete. Hell, amt you
heard about her? There's been u
travelin' guy sellin' safety razors in
town for two days, and him and her
left together on the 1906 tonight"
"The hell you say" allows JEFF, AMI
then he orders ham and eggs, just to
show Pete that he don't worry none
about no skirt.
When he's out on the home road,
headed for the Lonesome L. JEFF
reaches down in his inside coat pocket
and pulls out letter and some kind
of paper It's plumb good moonlight
and he opens the letter and reads her
over. She's shore short, like this:
''Will meet you as per your letter
at the depot at Bedding, arrival of
east-bound passenger train on date
named. JEFF tears it up into little bits
and scatters it along the road and
then he opens the other piece of
paper. It's one them circulars like

you see stuck up in sheriffs offices
with guys picture on it and his Burt
Along measures and how much reward
is out for him. Well, this one says
there's five hundred dollars reward;
and the picture-well the picture was
shore a perfect likeness of Slim
Bursby. You could never have seen
that profile and not knowed him.
Jeff steps off Firefy in the road ana
touches a match to the end of the
circular and it goes up in a little blaze.
Well, it worked out jest like Slim
allows. There amt no trick to slip
pin them valuables back into that old
tin box in Toms old desk and the
next day, when the outfits paid off
Jeff makes a straight talk to old Tom
and asks him for another trial. and
the old coot kind of likes the kid any
how, and he says all right, and so
JEFF stays. And there warn't no more
cause Of complaint, him maxim a resi-
efficient cowpuncher thataway, con
siderin Of his size.
For atime the silence was unbrok-
en-, the two ponies maintaining their
steady gait. the great panorama of the
Western World sweeping away the

Shorty struck match to light his
newest cigaret Then he explained:
Hell, there wasn't no Dawson"
mo Dawson? Oh. see And there
was no Annette and no Slim and NJ
convict and no reward and no money
stolen from the ranch. You were just
spinning me a yarn. Very kind OF
you"
The little puneher sat up.
Wait" he said, shore that was
all so. Dawson-wen, there wasn't no
guy named Dawson. You see, 1 was
Dawson myself"

and plumb disturbin' all them silences
of the landscape. Jeff starts like he's
goin' to the door, but Slim stops him
with one word, and when he turns
he's lookin' down a As, and Sims
smile is all gone again. They stands
facin' each other, and the train stops
minute, then starts out agin.
When she's plumb gone, Slim lays
down the gun and unties the apron
and hangs it on peg behind the bar
Well, JEFF is standin' up straight
now and lookin Slim in the eye, when
the barkeep comes out from behind
the counter. He don't look like the
same boy, and he's actual smilin
when he holds out his hand friendly
like.
"Slim," he says, you're called. I
guess there amt nothin' for me to do
but go straight if man1l give me
the straight deal you've pulled to-
night. I'm going back out there and
and get Tom to take me back, and
there ain't goner be no better puncher
nor better man than your humble
servant.
Slim slams his hand into Jeff's.
That's the stuff, son." he says. Go
to it. Good night"
jeff climbs on that old cayuse of
his and starts out. But he circles
after a while and comes back to town,
SOS Slim won't see him none. He
rides quiet down there to the railroad
depo and ties old Ffrefy in the deep
shade of the baggage room. Then he
ducks along in the shadders until he's
until he's up at the end, where there's
some crates and chicken coops waitin'
for the fourteen express train goin
west. There's man sittin' Cd one
of the trucks. He's kind of short,
heavy set guy, with a square face and
plug hat.
When he sees JEFF he slides down
off the truck and waits till the puncher
is up clost

halfway. He shore amt got a pleas

his eye catches onto somethin' kind

The Department Of Labor says that
twenty seven out Of forty-three ar
ticles going into the family market
basket have decreased in price with
in the month. The same Department
found that ten out Of fourteen repre-
sentative industries showed a decrease
in the number Of employees last month.
Wheat, -four. cotton, textiles. auto
mobiles, leather and even sugar, has
moved downward. Most Of the read
justments are arriving gradually, and
there is evidence that the country is
returning to the sanity of normal
periods. Many leading manufactur-
ers have reached the conclusion that
they can help in getting things back
to normal, by pocketing loss on sup
plies on hand. They believe that this
policy will eventually work out to
their own good, and that of the coun-
