School Nom for Big Arroyo.

r T was shortly past noon when Joe
Poison drove by the big blowout
CHANGING at his watch, he saw that
i he had scant time in which to
reach Crystal City and bank the
money his employer had intrusted to
him before he must meet the train.
The new School-mom whom MisSuS
Tanning had selected for the Big Ar
royo district was coming in on the
local and must be conveyed with care
to the Tanning ranch.
Joe felt deeply the Importance of his
two commissions, but his sense of
pleasant self-gratulation cooled as he
saw another outfit approaching.
"Old Man Raines' buckskins and Sile
Robbins handlin' en-" he said to him
self.
The circumstance was untoward. At
their last meeting Joe had promised
Sile a thraShing, and he saw clearly
that he would have no time for it now.
Just my luck" he muttered. But
I've got to attend to business even if
/ have to postpone the pleasure of
lickin' SHES" And he sighed because
of wasted opportunity-a sigh which
was nipped short by spreading smile
of surprise. For he now saw that Sile
was not alone. Tucked in under his
shoulder was woman whose hat looked
like an eager little flame against the
barren overripenesS of the Fall prairie.
Only young woman would wear hat
like that. Where had Old Sile picked
her up, and where was he headed for.
AS the distance lessened, Joe could
see that the woman was not only
young but pretty and that Sile seemed
to be all taken up with her. OF course
he would be- But what could such a
nifty looking little piece of calico see
in that hulking, gum-shoeing critter?
Not that Joe cared. There was only
one girl in the world for him and that
was Dolly Bindle, whose letters he
carried with him night and day. Still

LOS ANGELES, December 3.-With
% unlocked films already seized and
three men indicted, Federal inspectors
declared yesterday they expected to in

ly while she handled snub-nosed
deadly thing of steel with convincing
skill. II don't fire to miss. You under

You're queer school-mom," Joe
sneered.
"School-mom! I'd be ashamed to be
anything SO ornery. I'm big Jake Dury's
wife, she snapped. "You-all heern of
him?" proudly. Get out of that

team for my getaway. And hand over
the money-pronto"
Joe got out of the blackboard and
she got in. He handed her his wallet.
Sile might have grabbed her then, all
business though she was. but all he
could do was to shake and google. She
seized the lines and whip and was gone.
MY poor horses!" groaned Joe, Il
wish they'd run away and break her
neck, but she sure knows how to drive"
do you reckon she is that hell-cat
Big Jake brought up from Tulsa?"
quavered Sile. The very name of that
famous bandit subdued him.
"Pears like it-got any speed in
those buckskins?" Joe asked.

coaches were already moving. He raked
their windows with his glance At one
he caught glimpse of a white face
