Jack, "that is Judge Davenport, all
right And the man who has just
gone out is Carl Scott, who runs cars
of booze from the Canadian border as
far as to California He wants to
keep posted on judges, marshals and
sheriffs. And I am sorry the judge
has got prejudice against me-tak-
ing me for tough without evidence.
And the pretty little thing who attend
ed our wants is the daughter Of one
of the best men in this section. He
used to be over on the plains-Tom
James. Yes, the little piece of geor-
gette shirtwaist, wavy hair, and just
so skirt is Nancy. 1 suppose her
sweetheart will call her Nan. I'll in
troduce you now we're alone and she's
not Illustrated with serving the
meals"
She returned at that.
The Wolfer rose to his feet and
said: "Nancy-Miss James, allow me
to present to you Mr.. Fiske."
Jack rose and made his bow.
:, PLEASED to meet you!" said Miss
James.
II suppose we can fix up to stop
over here tonight, Nancy?" the Wolfer
asked.
"Why sure, Mr.. Dewar!" she said
The stage cracked outside. The
crackle whirled away. And then, tc
Jacks establishment, a telephone bell
Tor so it seemed) rang. Yes, it was
indeed telephone bell with two per
emptory rings. The wire dropped into
MacIntyre's Bluff as into many place
as small among the mountains. Nancy
inquired: "Now that ring! Was thai
, once twice, in hurry or twice once:
/ It's party line Of course and the
rings puzzle me sometimes"
Walt laughed and calculated
"Once twice or twice once! Better
take off the receiver and find out i
it's for YOU"
II hate to listen-in if it's not TO-
u.s." she said.
Nancy whirled on her heel, however
, and drawing a curtain, disappeared tt

;, "Hullo! Yes! Yes! Right here
, Hold the line, please. Mr.. Dewar!"

the room, slipped from sight. The1

, "Hullo. Yes. Speaking. Yes
we're here. He hasn't. Well 20
! wait day or two and see If he doe
? and then you know what news to Gil
, culate. So-long."
J, Fiske, waiting, wondering what tn

from that thought by the picture mad
by the Wolfer and Miss James as the
!. came back to the room. Indefinable

On log before the door he sat down
and slowly filled his pipe.
well, that's good enough said the
Wolfer. "All goes we'll"

"Yep," said Dewar, and striking q

J from Blunt just to say that Larry
Shanks hasn't come back to Jaffery
I'm willing to bet he will, that he's
only gone out to give us chance te

show up in day or two Blunt will sci
out to meet U.S."
