The key turning in the lock inter
rupted the conversation.
"You two birds get up. Court is

constable eyed them coldly through

startled.
"Sure-right in front of the Prouty

doubted if she would ever speak to

Pinkey and Wallie looked at each

The court vouchsafed glance at

The Prouty barber lathering the
face OF a customer, after the manner
of a man whitewashing a chicken
coop, paused on an upward stroke to
listen. Then he stepped to the door,
looked down the street, and nodded
in confirmation. After which he re-
turned, laid down his brush, and
pinned on nickel badge, which act
transformed him into the town con-
stable.
The patron in the chair, a travelling
salesman, watched the pantomime
with interest.

officer excused himself and stepped
out to the edge of the sidewalk, where
he awaited the approach Of a pair on
horseback who were making the
welkin ring, with time-honored bal
lad Of the country:
I'm a bowler from the prairies of the
West.
If you want to die with terror. look
at me.
I'm chain-lightnin'-
AS they came abreast the constable
held out his hand, and the pair auto
matically laid six-shooters in it and
went on without stopping in their
song:
if I amt, may be blessed.
I'm a shorter of the bOundless, lone
prairiee.
Other citizens than the barber rec
ognized the voices, and froWned or
smiled as happened, among whom was

rear of his secondhand Store"
Returning, the constable laid the
six-shooters on the shelf among the
shaving mugs and removed his badge.

since the barber offered no explana-
ton.
"Os, them toughs-'Gentle Annie
Macpherson and 'Pinkey' Fripp," was
the answer in wearied tone. Il
hate to see 'em come town."
After attending to feeding their
horses oats, the two set forth with an
air of definite purpose.
Their subsequent actions confirmed
it, for they approached divers per-
sons of their acquaintance as If they
had business OF a confidential nature.
The invariable result was negative
shake of the head.
After another obvious failure, Pink
ey said gloomily:

We'll try some more prospects
before we give up. It's m any
months since I've gone out of town
sober and I don't like to establish a
precedent. I'm superstitious about
things like that" said Wallie. At this
unQuestionably psychological moment
Mr.. Tucker beckoned them from his
doorway.
Mr.. Tucker winked deliberately when
he invited them in, and Wallie and
Pinkey looked out on an areaWay. No
explanation was necessary as he took
Ratchet and pried up plank. This
accomplished, he reached under the
floor and produced a tin cup and a
two-gallon jug.
He filled it with fluid of an I'M
familiar shade and passed it to Pink
ey, who smelled it and declared that
he could drink anything that was wet.

"Well?" Mr.. Tucker waitedly ex-
