After Il few days of this Tranquil.
iull there came II sunny morning when
HE hilarious ycls of Bill Lee and
bunch pierced The peaceful periphery
of Marshal Carr's jurisdiction.
As the bunch began to huddle ia
front OF The earliest coflin-paint palace,
Marshal Carr approached Foreman
Ice, who had already dismountcd, and
aiiably remarked:

bill Lee is handle enough" that
person replied.
Yes. Well. Bill Lee, | have some
Information for YOU" said Carr with
something Of Guinness in his accent.
who the III are you, sonny?'
queried Bill Lee, as if he had detected
the tabasco in the voice of his Wis
avis.
Il am the marshal of Caldwell
see? was the marshal's reply, at the
same time pointing with Il finger to
his silver insignia of office. AS he
smiled. And he added, the infor-
nation that | wish to offer is that l
Shall conduct the peace of this town
| for a season and you must not dis
turb it
With a laugh of cheerful allegro
mingled with facial indications of CON
tempt. Bill Lee shouted to his bunch,
still mounted:
Look at it, boys, This is the new
marshall" Addressing Carr, he said:
Go on away, kid. Don't come acod-
din me. l amt safe"
From somewhere out of that we'll
fitting and somewhat fetchy suit Of
clothes that Kid Carr wore, came a
pair of heavy Colt revolvers, one in
each hand of the marshal, finger on
the trigger of each gun, the muzzles
seeming to cover the whole case,
though the instruments swung non
chalantly from alongside the marshal's
hips. 1t was plainly evident to all OBJ
servers Foreman Lee in particular,
that the guy was eminently familiar
with the uses thereof.
Hands up he exclaimed in tone
as his former expression had been.
and the hands of the seven instantly
pointed toward l2-M. Further address
ing the bunch. the marshal said:
IF you men could see the sites of
the Winchesters and things that are
at this moment lined on you fellows

But take it from me that ut least fifty

That was about the longest speecl

On the following day Lee came bacl
