Up to This Time Judge
Had Not Been Suspected

A man was being tried in the
local court for Incorporating a
pig, and a conscientious witness,
to whom the accused was said to
have confded, was on the stand,
being examined.
"Now then, can you repeat the
exact words in which the prisoner
confessed to you to taking the
pig?" asked the counsel.
"He said, sir, that he took the
pig" replied the witness.
The judge tried to simplify the
question: "Did the prisoner say,
He took the pig or did he say, !
took the pig?"
ooh, no, your honor, he said
that he took it. Your honor's
name wasn't even mentioned.

Judge played Hebe, Doc Joe stepped
out into the patio.
Fortunately both Doc Joe and the
Judge knew pretty well what Early
Bill Cole had in mind, though the
definite thing the old fellow was go
ing to do had yet to be told. Merely
taking into consideration the facts
of the case, the whole thing should
be simple enough, since it was
merely the making of will. But
they saw the old familiar CLEAN in
Early Bills eyes and were dead sure
that right up to the last he was
plotting some sort of devllment.
Hadn't he said to them on one occa-
sion, "I'm having me a barrelful OF
fun when I'm dead" Both his listen
ers remembered that remark and
were to recall it more than once In
days to come.
They figured that they knew Early
Bill Cole pretty well, though they
had to admit they'd had the pleas
ure of his friendship for something
like twenty or twenty-five years
only. And that much longer ago
than that he had had two friends
who had meant much, very much to
him. Forty years before, and more,
there had rioted through the noun
tains a small company known far
and wide as Hell's Triplets: Early
Bill Cole, Dusty Lee, Buck Cody.
Dusty Lee and Buck Cody were hap
ly dead these many years, having
been swept away together in a night
of violence, and about all that they
had left behind them was their va.
rious offspring. Dusty Lee had left
a daughter with little dover save
her loneliness, and Buck Cody hac
bequeathed to the world a son ano
not much to go along with him. They
knew that little Ann Lee was teach
ing school somewhere or another

and living with her Aunt Jenifer-
her aunt living with her, rather;
and that young Cody was trying to
make mining engineer out of him
self. All this they knew because old
Bill had told them-and that, with
the first creeping of the shadow over
him some months ago, he had piled
into the stage and had been away
for a couple of weeks-and had come
back with that devil-saint-Santa
Claus CLEAN in his eye.

And now he was getting ready for

''Hold on there, Bill! Just because
there are two legatees you don't
need two wills!" He looked at Early
Bill narrowly; maybe the old devil
was too far gone already to know
enough to make any sort of will
Then in that case, everything, lock,
stock and barrel would go to Rance
Waldron as nearest of kin-the only
kin, so far as Early Bill knew,
though luckily distant.

grunted. ''I'm leaving everything

"We had only three factors to con-
slider then-power, speed and dura-

advance all the complex things that
might happen to an offense or de-
