smaller ranchers like Hamp Brig
ham and Vance Ketchel. Heren-
deems riders, with few townsmen,
made up the rest of the crowd.
Hack Breathitt got bottle, two
glasses, and bunch of cigars. They
went to corner table and sat down.
Hack Breathitt passed the cigars
to Morgan, poured a drink for Hill
house and for himself and settled
deep in the chair. For that little
interval he was as relaxed as he
could ever be, still smiling little,
still with the sparkle of secret
amusement in his eyes. He said,
ITO law and order" and downed
the drink.
"You," said Hillhouse tolerantly,
"are an ornery son-of-a-gun.
1.-THE country amt the same,"
murmured Hack. There's one hell
of beautiful ruckus comm. The
sheep and the goats. That's it. The
sheep and the goats. Accordin' to
Ben Herendeen I'm one of the goats.
Ben's about ready to work on the
goats"
Charley Hillhouse, who was a
quiet workhorse of a man, slowly
nodded.
Breathitt started to speak but was
stopped by quick-rising talk on the
street. A man struck the swinging
doors of the saloon with both fists
and rushed in. He said, in a half

and ran out. The conversation in
the saloon rose at once to a noisy
pitch.
Hack Breathitt grinned. "Id like
to see Ben Herendeen's face right
now"
Charley Hillhouse answered irrita-
bly,. 'If it was your beef, Hack, you
wouldn't make joke of it."
Hack Breathitt had his moments
of wisdom; he had his far thoughts.
There's two kinds of people in this
world, Charley. Those that have
got beef-and those that have got
none. People that stick and people
that drift. The Lord made you and
me different. It amt my fault and
it amt your fault. But ! like my
way-and no man can make me
change"
"Ben's got nothing against you,"
said Charley Hillhouse.
Hack Breathitt showed Hillhouse
a smart, dark expression. "When
folks get heated up, Charley, there
amt no halfway. It's one thing or
the other. The sheep or the goats"
He poured himself second drink.
"You know what I'm thinkin', boys?
