Bat Masterson, welcomed them
with a glad hand.
Unlike most of their kind,
these two gun-fighters died in
bed. Holiday died of consump-
ton in Colorado in a few years,
but Wyatt carp lived to a ripe
old age before he died twelve
years ago in Los Angeles.
Before we leave Curly Bill in
his unmarked grave l want to
tell you about the only funny
thing he ever did. That was the
time he went to church.
He and a tough bunch of his
outlaw friends marched into a
little church down at Charleston,
another mining camp near Tomb
stone, and clattered down on one
of the benches.
All the good people took one
look and started edging toward
the door. The preacher was act
ing like he'd seen a ghost, too.
Everybody JUS sit still!"
Curly Bill yelled. I'VE amt
amin to hurt nobody. Go right
ahead, parson. 1t can't hurt us
an it might do us some good"
Well, the preacher was pretty

which is not a mythical winged
serpent as generally believed, but
"A very tangible and venomous
reptile.

game. Besides, he didn't have
much choice. 1t was the first
time he ever tried 10 save any
souls with a dozen six-shooters
clanking against the pews.
AS soon as the congregation
sort of settled down again, the
preacher thumbed over a few
pages in the Big Book and cut
loose. Yes sir, he gave the boys
a blistering hot sermon about
sinful ways. He told them folks
that lived by the sword had the,
short end of the odds on dying
by the sword.
When he got through Curly
Bill stood up.
Nov, parson, that was mighty
good" he said. Some O. these
fellers never heard nuthin' like
that before. II yuh don't mind,
I'd like to pass tn hat for yuh."
Why, of course, I'm sure no
one would mind" The preacher
had put in his best ticks. II was
Curly Bills turn now.

Doc nodded.

But they didn't get the drop

laws gave up the chase after

his chest.

One of Billy Clanton's shots,
fired after he was on the ground,
hit Morgan carp in the shoulder.
Billy kept shooting until an carp
bullet put a finish to him.
The two McLowerys and Billy
Clanton were dead!" Doc Holli-
day had a bullet burn. Morgan
carp had a flesh wound in the
shoulder.
Ike Clanton ran when the
shooting started and escaped.
The battle of the O. X. corral
was over. II lasted about thirty
seconds, but more lead flew in
that half-minute than in any
other gun-fight in the West.
THEY turned the Earps and
Doc Holiday loose on the old
western plea of self-defense, but
that didn't end the feud.
Curly Bill, Johnnie Ringo and
the rest of the outlaw bunch
were still riding high and swing
ing n wide loop. The killing at
the O. X. corral just gave them
another excuse to get the Earps.
Virgil carp was walking down
n dark street in Tombstone one
night when a blast of gunfire out
of the darkness knocked him
over. He was hit pretty bad,
but lived.
A few months later Morgan
carp was playing pool in Bob
Hatch's saloon. A high window
was open at the back of the
place. Just as Morgan leaned
over to make a shot a gun-bar-
rel was pushed through the open
window. A forty-four slug
crashed through Morgan's chest
and dropped him lifeless over the
table.
Wyatt and Doc Holiday sus-
pected Frank Stillwell and Pete
Spence, pair of stage robbers.
In a couple days Wyatt carp
and Doc Holiday were on their
way to California with Morgan's
body. They piled off the train
at Tucson just to look around.
They'd heard something about
Stillwell being there.
Well, he was there all right,
and he stayed.
The next morning a body was
found at the edge Of town. There
was just enough of it left TO be
identified as Frank Stillwell. He
had been riddled with rifle bull
lets and buckshot.
When Wyatt and Doc Holli-
day got back to Tombstone
things were getting pretty hot
for them. There was a lot of
talk about the killing of Still
we'll. 1t looked like pious idea
for Wyatt and Doc to enjoy a
change of scenery.
SO they had a few farewell
glasses with their old friends at
the Oriental bar. climbed on
their horses, and left the dust of
Tombstone behind them.
There's JUS one little piece O

want TO see any more KILN
here"
But while the sheriff was talk
ing. trying to patch up a truce,
he got a squint up the street.
There, strung out from one
sidewalk TO the other, came four
men. Wyatt. Virgil and Morgan
carp. thanked by the dapper Doc
Holiday They were walking
sort of slow, but their jaws were
set tighter than a corner fence
post. Their cold gray eyes were
riveted on the bunch around the
horses in the corral.
There they are now" Behan
hollered. Don't start nothin'.
I'll stop EN-"
Wen. Johnnie made a nice talk
about law and order and no more
gun-play, but he might as we'll
have been trying 10 stop "A tor
nado. The Earps didn't answer
him. They didn't even look in
his direction. They walked right
on by him
They weren't taking their eyes
off the men ahead of them for
a second Time for talk was past.
They didn't want their tongues
getting in the way Of their trig-
ger fingers.
The gun-fighters kept their
order four abreast until they got
within a rod of their enemies.
"Yuh fellers been itchin' for a
fight" Wyatt said. "Now's your
chance"
The next instant lead began to
fly. 1t happened so fast nobody
ever could agree exactly what
happened. Friends of the Clan
tons and McLowerys swore the
Earps fired first. The Earps said
Billy Clanton and Frank Nc
Lowery started it.
Anyway, there was plenty
Of it.
Frank McLowery caught the
first bullet. He staggered out of
the arena dying, holding his side
with one hand and working his
siX-shooter with the other.
Billy Clanton was the next one
down. Every real gun-fighter
died game. Billy Clanton died
by that code. He crawled up on
one elbow and flied his pistol
with his free hand until he
Topped over dead.
Doc Holiday got Tom Nc
Lowery. When the shooting
started the gambler whipped
open his long-tailed coat. He
had a hort-barrelled shotgun
slung under his shoulder.
Just as he pulled it up to shoot
he saw McLowery pulling down
on him. He turned his thin body
sideways as McLowery pressed
the trigger. The bullet cut
through his shirt and creased his
skin. That turn saved his life.
1t was McLowery's last shot.
A full charge of buckshot from
Holidays gun pretty near tore
him in two.
Frank McLowery was still
stumbling around on his feet,
firing his pistol as fast as he
could work the trigger. but his
shots were getting wild. Holli-
day finally shot him through the
head as the wounded man was
steadying his hand to get a bead
on Morgan carp.

carp. The gun-fighter and his
clansmen took extra pains TO see
that their six-shooters were in
top working order.
It wasn't long before the Clam
tons and McLowerys were back
IN Tombstone. Ike and Billy
Clanton, Tom and Frank Nc
Lowery We're in the bunch. A
pack OF their friends was Turk
ing around the frinGes
The first night Doc Holiday
and Ike Clanton had a rumpus
in the Alhambra bar
"Yuh told Wyatt carp I was
in on tn Sandy Bob stage KILN,
yuh lynn :" Holiday
was still hot under the collar
about being arrested.
That was fighting talk.
Doc went for his siX-shooter.
Don't shoot, Doc" Clanton
yelled Il amt heeled "
"Yuh're a liar. Yuh been
tellin' everybody you'd kill me
tn first time we met. This is
it. Make your move!"
But ! amt heeled."
IAN right. Git your guns an
when yuh come back yuh' better
come a-foggin'"
Clanton went on his way, but
before the night was over he
bumped into Wyatt carp.
Il won't take that kind o. talk
from Holiday or nobody else. I'm
gonna git i'm tomorrow before l
leave town"
Better cool off, Ike" Wyatt
told him.
Cool off, hell We're gonna
have a showdown. Yuh fellers
have been bully-raggin' this place
long enough"
T HE next morning Tombstone
was on razor edge. Ike Clan
ton had spent the rest of the
night leaning over the bars, tell
ing what. his gang was going
to do.
Virgil carp, the city marshal,
found Ike staggering down the
board sidewalk with a rifle hang
ing in the crook of his arm.
What's all tn big talk / been
hearin' ?" Virgil asked him.
Clanton started to pull up his
rifle The next second he was
on the ground Virgil used one
Of WAITS old tricks. He buff
faloed him with crack over the
head with the six shooter.
Then carp dragged him off
to the justice Of the peace. He
got fined twenty-five dollars for
creating a disturbance. That
made him good and mad
He stormed out of the court
hollering for his guns and swear
ing he was going to clean up
the whole carp bunch.
Outside Wyatt ran into Tom
McLowery. Tom made a move
for his gun, but before he could
draw Wyatt laid another head
open by a wallop with his six
shooter.
That made the second one the
Earps had stretched out on the
sidewalk that morning.
The Clantons and McLowerys
began backing up. 1t looked
like they were up against a
tougher deal than they expected.
They had started toward their
horses at the O. X corral when
Johnnie Behan. the sheriff, came
running up Behind him the
three Earps and Doc Holiday
were ranged along the sidewalk,
waiting for the next play.
Them fellers are spoilin' for
a fight" Virgil carp told the
sheriff.
Now, wait Let me go down
an try an settle this without
any shootin'."
Down at the corral Behan
found Ike Clanton and Tom Nc
Lowery nursing their sore heads.
Billy Clanton and Frank Nc
Lowery were tightening the
cinches on their saddles
Got TO take your guns the
sheriff told them, ''or there's
gonna be a shootin' match.
"Yuh don't git our guns long
as the Earps got theirs, Ike
said. They got my siX-shooter
anyway"

terrupted impatiently. "He told me,
too. That's for where there could
be danger Of attack such as came
to Mr.. Mitchell. There can be no
danger here. Come, we'll have to
get going if we're to get back to
camp by dark"
He hustled Emilio, still protesting
and blackly reluctant, off along the
shore line, jumped back into the
launch, and was set down on the 9TH
er shore. As the launch boy headed
upstream for the rendezvous, Curt
took one look behind him. He could
see Emilio was watching him.
Curt was now in somewhat IA
miliar territory. On this bank rose
a considerable hill thickly covered
with a jungle of trees, lianas, I'M
dergrowth. Because of the hill, Fin
ca Urana, the Associates farm,
didn't touch the river at this spot.
Curt plunged into a path used by
the women of the farm laborers
when they came to the river to wash
clothes. He picked up mule trail
at the edge of the banana planta-
ton, broke into a trot.
Banana farms are laid out evenly,
the s'bits" planted twenty feet or so
apart. The plants grow rapidly,
shooting up suckers, of which the
strongest are allowed to remain,
and each single plant eventually be-
comes ring of plants, like bed
of gigantic cannas. Their long broad
leaves meet twenty to thirty feet
overhead, allowing only scattered
rays of sunshine to reach the earth.
A banana plantation is lovely,
peaceful spot-if one has the time
to enjoy it. Through these sunbeams
brilliant birds and butterflies dart;
there are rustlings underfoot of field
rats or iguanas-or snakes; and all
is hushed as a green-windowed ca
thedral.
1t was along such lane, hot, the
air still, that Curt trotted. If all
went well he could get to the farm
house of Urana and back to the riv-
er in thirty to forty minutes. He
would have to explain this lapse of
time, but he'd worry about that
later.
Out of breath and sweating heav-
lily, he reached the farmhouse. His
khaki shirt was dark with perspira-
ton.
There was only native time
keeper in the farm Office, which
was the ground floor Of the two-story
house, while another mozo was rak-
ing the corral. He looked up,
amazed, at the stranger who APP
peared out Of nowhere, but Curt
gave him no chance to put his Curl
osity into words. He took the initia-
tive.

time-Curt, Emilio, and the Carib
launch boy.
They reached without incident a
spot above the c. A. T. holdings,
past the point where the Rio Negro
levee made an elbow to join the
first arm of the Quebrado range.
Here Curt had the Indian pull the
launch in to the south shore. Then
he put on his carefully prepared
act. He appeared to deliberate.
Every well, Emilio" he said at
last, "here's our program. ] want
you to pace off the shore line and
plant these flags every forty steps.
Be sure they can be easily seen
from across the river. This won't
be hard to do, with the river now at
a low mark, though you may have to
use your machete on small brush.
When you reach that bend up ahead,
wait for us there.
Meanwhile, Esteban will set me
down at that hill opposite. I'll climb
to the highest point, get some pic
lures for further study, and come
down the other side. The launch
will pick me up, then we'll cross
and get you. Is that clear?"

Jewish Years

The Jewish calendar has years
of six different types, owing to the
harmonious arrangement of festi-
walls, etc., says Golfers. Thus a
defective year has 1853 days, a
regular year 354 days and a per-
feet year 1855 days; and a month
is added to each when it is a
leap year. Hence this new year,
which is 5703 and began on Sep
.tember IL, 1912, will contain 1888
days because it is defective leap
year.
