A SHATTERED VISION

STIN ! NISION
In the gathering twilight she came
to him, arms outstretched, lips half
parted and hungry for kisses. He
stopped and gazed at her, his eyes
taking in every curve of her body
as he swayed with intoxication as
he drank in her ravishing beauty. The
baby-blue eyes, the rosebud mouth.
the soft glistening tint of her skin,
and her delicately nodded ankles
shimmering in silk. He missed moth
ing and his heart leaped so high that
he was afraid to open his mouth. He
took a step forward and heard her
deep signing and he was helpless. A
sweet smile slowly grew upon her
up-lifted face and once more he took
a step forward, when the girls father
shouted: "Mariah, feed the hogs
while ye're out there, will ye?" Then
his vision of the lovely dove was shat
tered when she answered: Eyes,
Paw" and heaved a pail of swill over
into the pig stye.
A little bird told the Wickenburg

of the butcher. ooh, yes, mum; they

warm weather." he replied.

jenny mule. Ike watched the old bel
lows handle move up and down to
keep the forge going. All at once Ike
whipped out his knife and cut a big
hole in the bellows

When he faced the wall Tony tied
him to post, put up his gun and be-
gan sharpening his bowie knife.
"Whatcher gonna do?" said Ike in
alarm. looking over his shoulder as
Tony cut his waistband from the
back.
Coin to find out where the wind
comes from, said Tony, as he ripped
the seat of Ike's pants clear to the
crotch.
