interrupted by the spectacular appearance
of the Sheriff. The bad deputy had put up
a good fight One Palm Beach suit was
a total casualty. Cupid's nose was bloody
and leaned to the left. But one of the
Judges eyes glittered; the other was closed.
Dirty, blood-bespattered, their knuckles
wrecked, they stood and laughed at each
other. Then they hurried out to the Jail and
interviewed the prisoners, who, since the ar
rival Of Sheriff supposed to be dead, but
firmly set upon administering justice by
means of a "fust-class KILN" were willing
nay, anxiOus-to get headed for the near

Cass blackberry, deputy sheriff, had been
"hidin out" his brother, Mr.. Amos Hack
berry, until propitious time for crossing
the border together. Cass, having shot and
supposedly slain the sheriff, who had been
too DANCED nosey,' had robbed the treas
urer's office and was en- his way to loan
the sheriff's horse to Brother Amos. Here
he paused in his confession to give said

Before the injured Sheriff could escape
from his bed of pain and deal justice to his
deputy, the pair of thugs had been hauled
thence by pair of citizens hastily deputized
by the local Judge and pair of Spanish
War veterans, looking like the war had but
recently ended, wero~headed back into the
oil fields in one rented flivver. Cupid had
hired local mechanic to gas up and return
his conveyance to its rightful owner.
AS they rode, the old pals discussed the
diversions of the preceding two hours. "You
are a fine-looking district judge" jeered
Cupid. THAT big stiff Knocked most of

to the PROSTATE deputy, who had partially
recovered, and like his companion in crime
was glazing silently at the captOrs. "An'

But the victim of cowardly attack from

while the sweating Cupid continued to hold
the quarry by the neck, searched him hastily
and brought forth not only one, but two pairs
of handouts. But his head was working
well-he didn't stop at that. He con-
tinued the search, throwing pocketknife,
loose change and fat wallet aside until
he had found one handcuff key. The key
to the other pair was fastened to the con-
Meeting link with a piece of Irvine. Next
the pair of hard specimens were dragged
against the locked CRATE door and cuffed
securely around bars. Not until this bust
ness was properly finished, inspected and
passed did the tall Judge and his short
friend stop to invoice themselves. When
they did, both broke into roars of laughter.
But it seemed that events were rolling up
SO fast that they were not to be allowed
even the privilege of uninterrupted mirth.
A shadow darkened the outside door and

LORD KELvINs REPRIMAND

The English scientist, Lord Kelvin, who
for many years held the chair of natural
philosophy at Glasgow university was the
subject of an amazing story told to illus
trate his singular force Of habit.
AS professor Of science, Lord Kelvin could
use long words in such formidable array as
to paralyze the average layman, but the
Glasgow student is made of sterner stuff.
During course of lectures on magnetism.
he once defined an ideal magnet as ian
infinitely long, infinitely thin, uniform and
uniformly and longitudinally magnetized
bar" and the misguided students voeifer-
ously cheered, which caused the venerable
professor to say:
Silence
This definition was mace ana eheered,
with the usual reprimand, frequently during
the lectures. One, near the conclusion,
however, the students did not cheer, but
Lord Kelvin promptly raped out "Silenee"
as before.

plish sudden speech, the warriors stared,
Open-mouthed, at the apparition. A huge
man, at least $50 pounds weight, lowered
in the doorway-filled it. In his hands,
at the position of ready" was Winches-
ter rifle. But it was not the gun which
drew most attention. One side of the
giants head was a mass of clotted blood,
which ran down over his shoulder and his
shirt. Instinctively both men were sorry
for the newcomer. His mild blue eyes gazed
uncertainty at the stragers, but frightened
as they became more accustomed to the in
ner gloom and made out the deputy sheriff.
With an effort, Judge Van Fleet spoke:
This man over here is crook who held
me up on the road. This deputy sheriff is
also crook, who locked us in this Jail and
was preparing to escape with the robber,

His hearers cringed at the thought of the
suffering this old man had been through,
and without waiting for the rest Of the
story, besought him to sit down while they
"doctored'' his head. He seemed slightly
dazed as Cupid grabbed the overturned
bucket and dashed out in search of the we:.,
and Judge Van Fleet began tearing REM
nants of shirt from the fallen deputy to use
for bandages. While they worked, carefully
soaking the silky white hair from a deep
bullet cash across the scalp, the old man
continued his story:
