tween its legs"
The taunt diverted his mind. just as
Curly had hoped 1t would. He thrust
the revolver back into the holster and
reached for his foe.
Then everybody, hitherto parnlyzed
by the sight Of deadly weapon. woke
up and took hand. They dragged
the two men apart Curly was thrust
into barber shop on the other side of
the street and Stone was dragged back
into the Silver Dollar.
In two minutes Flandrau had made
himself famous. for he was q marked
man. The last words Of the struggling
desperate had been that he would
shoot on sight. Now half n dozen
talked at once. Some advised Curly
one thing. some another. He must get
out OF town. He must apologize ut
once to Stone. He must send friend
and explain.
The young man laughed grImly.
Explain nothing. I've done all the
explaining I'm going to- And I'll not
leave town either. II SOapy wants me
he'll sure find me-"
Don't be foolish, kid. He has got
four nOtches on that gun Of his. And
he's u dead shot"
The tongues Of those about him gal
loped But Curly was excited pleased
with himself because he had stood up
to the bogey man Of the Southwest
and too full Of strength to be afraid.
Maloney came into the barber shop
and grinned Mt him. II hear you and
Sonpy are figuring on setting off some
fireworks this Fourth"
1t did Curly good to see him stand
Ing there so easy and deliberate among
the excitnble town people.
"Soapy is doing the talking"
II heard him happened to be at the
Silver Dollar when they dragged him
in"
MalOney's eyebrows moved the least
bit. His friend understood. Together
they passed out of the back door Of
the shop into an alley The others
stood back and let them go.
Back to the hotel the two ran.
When Curly buckled on his revolver
and felt 1t resting comfortably against
his thigh he felt n good deal better
"Tve seen Stats Davis" Maloney
explained. "He has gone to find
Luck, who is now at the Del Mar"
"Had any talk with Slats3"

"Pm to walt for him on El MolIno
street to learn where I'm to meet Gull
lison."
THAT won't do. You'd make too
tempting target. I'll meet him in
stead"
That suited Curly. He was not hunt
ing trouble just now, even though he
would not run away from 1t. For he
had serious business on hand that
could not take care of itself II Soapy
should kill him.
Nearly an hour later Maloney ap-
| peared again.
