his spurs jingling nartially.
Old Idan Ellison sat at the kitchen
table, having a tin cup of before supper
coffee. He looked contented and pleased.
Hello, Sam said he. "Pm darned
glad to see We back. 1 don't know how
l managed to get along on this ranch,
things up. I'll bet we've been skylark-
ing around with some of them Frio City
gals, that's kept We so late"
And then old man Ellison took another
look at Sans face and saw that the min
strel had changed to the man of &C
ton.
And while Sam is unbuckling from his
waist old man EIlison's ix-shooter that
the latter had left behind when he drove
to town, we may well pause to remark
that anywhere and whenever a trouba-
dour lays down the guitar and takes up
the sword, trouble is sure to follow. 1t
is not the expert thrust Of Athos nor
the cold skill of Aramis, nor the iron
wrist of Porthos that we have to fear
it is the Gascon's fury-the wild and
unacademic attack of the troubadour-tne
sword of D'Artagnan.

you no more"

while he slipped his coffee.
you bet it was. And they took me-
before the country Judge; and the wit
nesses what saw him draw his gun first
put me under $500 bond to appear before
the court, but there was four or five boys
on the SPOT ready to sign the bail. He
won't bother you no more, Uncle Ben.
You ought to have seen how close them

Then there was a little silence in the
castle except for the spIuttering of a
venison steak that the Kiowa was cook
ing.
Sam" said old man Ellison. stroking
his white whiskers with a tremulous
hand would you mind getting the
guitar and playing that 'Huile, huile,
palomita' piece once or twice? It al
ways seems to be kind of soothing and
conf rting when mans tired and
tagged out"
There is no more to be said, EXCEPT
that the title of the story is wrong 1t
should have been called 1.-The Last Of the
Barons." There never will be an end
to the troubadours; and now and then
it does seem that the jingle of their
guitars will drown the sound of the
muffled blows Of the pickaxes and trip
hammers of all the workers in the world.

Now, let's re-talk over some things that
we discussed a few days ago. They call

pasture for your bunch of sheep and
their increase for a long time to come.
Aunt Caroline used to cut out sheep in
cake dough and bake 'em for me. You
keep your sheep where they are, and use
all the range you want. How's your

The old man related his woes in de-
