is a kind of q trick and a very
rational procedure. In the first
place, rubbing one eye causes tears
to form in both eyes and the tears
may wash the cinder out. More
important still is it that if you rub
the unaffected eye you do not rub
the eye with the cinder in it and
so you do not do yourself any
harm.
Since we are on the subject of
supcrstitions about the eye, we
should notice the widely held belief
that when a person becomes blind,

The Double Bar Cross punchers
stared. Ben Maynard. top hand and
generally considered an expert at all
things he tackled, which included gun
singing and rope throwing, grinned
broadly and got languidly to his feet.
He stood, with hands resting on his
hips, surveying the small one from
head to toe.
You don't say?" he asked in high
amusement. The great Lefty La
mont, eh? I suppose that's why you
wear your gun tied to your right side.
Bein' left-handed an smarter than
an ordinary hombre yuh just reach
around with your left hand an yank
the gun from your right laig an let
drive. Saves time, I suppose"
Ben's voice was bitingly sarcastic
Like the rest OF the Double Bar boys
he was and had been in an ugly
mood for several days. The Double
Bar had been having trouble with the
neighboring Haystack outfit over water
rights. 1t was a dry season and
Hank Fletcher, the Haystack owner
had claimed all the rights to the creek
that divided the two ranges. He
claimed there wasn't enough water
for both herds, which was true.
Hanks outfit was twice the size of
the Double Bar, and he backed his
play with force. Cart Wheeler ap-
pealed to the sheriff, and got little
satisfaction, SO, in desperation, Cart
wrote to friend and set forth his
problems. The friend wired back
that he was dispatching one Lefty
Lamont Immediately, to give Cart q
lift.
THE Double Bar boys were joyous,
for. though none of them had
ever laid eyes on Lefty Lamont, they
knew him by reputation to be the
fastest and deadliest man in the
Southwest with a six-shooter.
Just now Ben Maynard and his
comrades felt that their intelligence
had been insulted. This insignificant,
puny runt trying to pass himself off
as the great Lefty-it didn't help
dispositions that were already strained
to the breaking point.
A cold, defiant light had come into
the small ones eyes. He gave Ben
Maynard look for look
Since that's the way you feel.
mister" he said softly, why don't
yuh try me out?"
Ben Maynard guffawed. why, you

watching suddenly grew still, for

Lefty Lamont to fight his battles.
He paused and sneered and one hand
caressed the holster at his hip. 81
dropped in to say that there amt
nothin' would give me more pleasure
than to meet up with this gun-totin
buzzard named Lamont. Me, I've had
hankerin' to try out his speed with
smoke pole for some time back"
Then, mister, yuh don't need to
banker no more, fer now's your
chance"
Tex Rankin looked at the small one,
and astonishment, then annoyance
was written in his face. Outer my
way, squirt. I got things to do an
can't be bothered listenin' to the bab-
blings Of kids"
THE Haystack foreman made as
though to push the small one to
one side, whereupon, to the amaze
ment and concern of all present. the
little man reached out with snake
like motion and slapped Tex Rankin
hard across the mouth.
And now" said he. "either back
your boast or crawl"
The color disappeared beneath the
tan on Tex Rankin's face. He swore
fouly and spat and swore again, the
while crouching in an attitude that
was familiar to those watching.
Without warning, in the middle OF
an oath, he went for his gun. 1t
was a smart trick and a good one.
1t probably would have worked on most
men who boasted gun-slinging ability
Only one shot was fired. That
shot came from the gun of the small
one. No one had seen 1t appear. 1t
was suddenly there in his hand, belch-
ing fame and smoke.
Tex Rankin Strengthened up. A
surprised, incredulous look was writ
ten on his face. He groaned and
lifted hand to his chest and pitched
forward onto his face.
The small one resheathed his gun
and turned to face the Double Bar
Cross boys. 80" he said softly, look
ing directly at Ben Maynard, who
am I now?"
Ben Maynard swallowed and grinned
foolishly. Why" he said, IL
reckon made mistake, an I apollo
giZe for 1t, Mr.. Lefty Lamont"
The small one grinned. Names,
he said. lis funny. They don't al
ways mean what they say. Take me

they call me Lefty" And he jerked
