both lawyer and banker, he would
not go.
But, like I was saying" Cole
Cody went on, Having done with
wishing, here is the tall, straight
and shining fact of the matter. I've
got in my hand a legal-looking pa
per. It calls itself a will, last will
and testament. 1t gives and be-
queaths and etcetera, all his be-
longings and properties and Access
sories-with some to wits and some
more etceteras - the King Cole
Ranch thrown into certain gent
name of William Cole Cody, which
is me! And could you tell me, Judge,
without straining yourself-whose
time is it right now to laugh? To
laugh, my good friend and counsel
lor, like a whole pack of hyenas?
Mine? You're sure shoutingI Haw!"
Rance Waldron was as interested
as any. More interested than the
others, from the look of him. He
said, speaking smoothly,
II might help you folks out, may
be. My uncle-Mr. William Cole,
you know-was pretty DID, What's
the word for it? Senile? It's my
thought that he was dying and was
out of his head-what you call non
compos mentis-in plain English he
was as crazy as a bed-bug when he
wrote those wall-eyed wills. He told
me-Hell's bells, he told me fifty
times that all he had was going
to be mine! Now here's Miss Lee
and here's Mr.. Cody, both of them
saying they've got a will, giving
them the whole shooting works.
That sounds kind of funny, don't it?
It might pay to see how these wills
were dated, and how they were wit
messed and all that. Whether, may
be, they were made while the old
man was dying, and was so clean
off his nut that both wills are worth
about"
He did nice job of swapping his
fingers.
Cole Cody laughed.
Ann Lee smiled; it was tight
little, slight little, bright little smile
that spelled Triumph.
"I'n be glad to have you read
this paper, Mr.. Waldron," she said.
Here's a document for your
eye," said Cole Cody.
And, though both Ann Lee and
Cole Cody were speaking to Rance
Waldron, they were looking straight
at each other.
Waldron, his eyes become like

even laid eyes on Mr.-Mr. Early
Bill"
ME, too" said Cole Cody. "He
says here-It's a funny thing. I
never knew Bill Cole, never saw
hirn!''
The Judge and Doc Joe looked at
each other.
Don't you kids be fooling your
selves" Doc Joe said crustily. 81
don't mean any disrespect to the
dead-or do I? Come to think about
it, / never could see why dead
dog was any nicer than live one.
Well, be that as it may, and no dis
respect meant, old Early Bill Cole
was jackass if ever there was one,
no-'count rambling wreck of wick
edness and sin; the same dirty dog
he names this here gent, Mr.. Ar
thur Henry Pope. Just the same he
warn't no liar. If he says to Miss
Ann she was sweet to him, then she
was sweet to him, and somewhere
he knowed her. If he says to this
young Cody that they had fun to-
gether, well they did. Am I right,
Judge?"
Fright as rain, Doc" said the
Judge. Hell taking old Early Bill
to the contrary Notwithstanding,
you're right"
whats all this about wills?" said
Rance Waldron, as sharp as new
tack.
''You shut up!" cried Ann Lee.
''You and your wills! We're talking
about" She spun on her heel like a
small whirlwind. doc Joe! Here's
your five hundred dollars! Gollyi
Here-here's your five hundred dol
lars, Doc Joew
Thanking you kindly, Miss" said
Doc Joe, and took his rightful WIN
ningS.
WELL" said Cole Cody, "here's
yours, Judge. Like Early Bill says,
I'm hoping you and Doc Joe choke
to DEATH"
The Judge cleared his throat, &C.

throat again. Beyond that, being

Untapped Mines
This country is full of possible
stars and potential athletes who
have never had a chance to prove
their place in the shining sun of
competition.
There has been entirely too much
concentration on the few who, as
football players, fighters OF baseball
players, could attract crowds at the
gate.
Some stars had more color than
others-although they may not have
been better athletes. The build-up
always has been important.
War is a terrible matter. But at
least it will give several millions
the opportunity to find themselves
through hard training possibly not
the opportunity to be champions
but to discover the important fact
that they are much better than they
ever thought they were.
This may not increase to any
great extent the number of natural
stars.
But it will lift the average well
beyond what the average used to be
in self confidence, determination,
skill and stamina. And it is only the
average that really counts.

teaching, in charge of boxing at Am
herst along the lines of war train
ing.
His name is David Morton, one
of Dan McGugin's favorite football
players and one of Amherst's best
liked professors.
Dave Morton couldn't hit the line
with Thorpe or Nagurski, or pass
like Baugh. But he was still 1853

But neither of these men could
box with him-and neither could

quite the same effectiveness.
