Amt there one of you ever went up
that way?"
They questioned each other with
their eyes. but man after man shook
his head.
Somebody around here?' Dave
urged. Must be somebody in this
country that's been up that way"
One of the older men who had
kept silence throughout the proceed

Dan turned to look at him. which
one?" he asked.
He sweeps out, at Jake's place.

Dunno as I ever heard" the other
replied. He don't look like he had
any particular name
We'll. let's go down and see him."
Paltrey urged. That's easy enough.
If he's been up there. he'll know

Well, Mrs. Bush wasn't anywheres

I dreamed your husband paid back

thoughts into momentary confusion.
He rose and stood erect. hands in the
air, and one of the men dismounted
to disarm him. He perceived. with a
sudden and appalling sinking of the
heart. that the matter was serious.
The countenances of these men were
grim and angry; and he was their
captive.
But almost at once he realized that
none of their faces were familiar. They
had not come from White Cow; they
could not know what he had done. Con-
fidence flowed back into the man: he
collected his faculties to meet the situa-
ton and managed the shadow of Il
smile
After Paltrey was disarmed there was
momentary silence. Paltrey studied the
mems faces intently, puzzled and
alarmed. Two of his captors were of
mature years. as old as himself or older :;
he recognized their rugged type. The
others-there were seven of them in
all-were younger: young man with
a round face and pale eyelashes a thin
young man with a dangling cigarette
and a hole in the right knee of his
leather chaps: red-headed young man
on a nervous horse. Paltrey's eyes
turned from one to another and he was
the first to speak.
Reckon l can take down my hands,
he said good-humoredly. What's all
the row.
The red-headed young man said hot
ly: You are dirty dog, amt you"'
Paltrey turned steady eyes upon him.
You folks are all strangers to me-" he
said easily. Il was just passing
through. You kind of have the advan-
tage of me now. But there's coffee and

if there amt enough. l didn't look for

The men who had removed Paltrey's s
pistol from its holster broke the weapon
and squinted through the barrel. She's
been shot off right lately" he remarked,
addressing the world at large. Hes
loaded up. but he amt cleaned her"
What about it? Let me in on it,
You're in it," the red-headed young
man told him. ''Oh. you're in it. Don't
make any mistake about that" Then
one of the older men said thoughtfully
We have been trailing along after you
ever since you held up No. 10 yest'day
afternoon
Paltrey felt a distinct and astonish-
ing relief at this specific accusation.
Whereabouts" he asked.
Down below
II come from up north, from White
Cow. Haltrey tOld MIN.
That's what you say" said the red
headed young man. But l guess you
stopped at Eds on the way"
Who's Ed ?" Paltrey asked.

man now explained. That's his horse
you got"
Paltrey nodded Sure" he agreed.
MY own horse busted a leg coming
down the hill above his place, SO 1
bought this one from him.
This statement seemed to interest
them; they exchanged glances with
one another, and the red-headed young
man drew two Of his companions aside
and talked to them in heated tones.
Then the older man interrogated Pal

red-headed young man, with an i'm

from the saddle and began to busy

American Folklore society has the
following Instance:
"A few years ago a young man in

Here, again. we have that form OF
sympathetic magic known ms the
magic OF contact-the ancient print

being brought into contact with him

As TO the selection of a dog for the
curative process. the dog was one of

Ing the lion and the gont-sacred "a

Pan. To put a goat or a lion In d
