SHOTGUN WEDDING

its top against the sill of Ellen's
second story window. Clambering
up, Sam discovered the window to
be raised. The schoolteacher had
apparently locked herself in a
closet, and Cigarette was loudly
threatening to shoot her.
SAD SAM was unobserved him
self, but not Cigarette; the bright
glowing coal pasted to his lip gave
him away in the darkness very
nicely. Explaining this to him, plus
the fact that he was going to blow
his head off if he didn't drop his
guns, Sam climbed into the room.
Cigarettes guns hit the floor.
Don't shoot, se1or," he said.
''You might hit the schoolteacher!"
Sam secured the prisoner, un-
locked the door, turned him over
to Hank, and lit a lamp. Ellen ap-
peared from the closet, calm and
composed. Arthur B. Skies came
in.
II certainly wish / was a mar
ried woman" Ellen said, IF this is
the kind of thing that goes on in
Central City"
Il would have killed him." Sad
Sam said, "but was afraid of hurt
ing you"
Ellen's eyes fastened upon him,
Perhaps it would have been bet
ter if you had killed me, too. A
broken heart is a painful death" ="
"A man is either the head of his
home or he's not, Miss Jackson"
Sam said despairingly. I'm a man
of my word and behOlden to no
body. I said l was a rover, so l
guess got to rove. ="
- JUST a minute, Sam," Arthur
B. Skies said. 1--WE got a terrible
social problem on our hands. It's
the middle of the night, and here l
find you in the dark with a young
unmarried lady that you hardly
know yet. Before that, Cigarette
was in her room. No matter what
we say, how are we going to ex-
plain this situation to the good
citizens of Central City, especially
when the lady is a schoolteacher?"
."You can't" Ellen said. Its
awful! Now I've lost my job!"
Miss Jackson" Sam said, mo-
body in this town will asperse your
reputation and live to tell it."
II have a better idea than kill
ing off everybody" Arthur B.
Skies said. THE simple way is for

Sam to do the right thing. He's a
better choice than Cigarette" J"
He picked up the sawed-off shot
gun in a meaningful fashion.
what we'd better have is one of
those quick weddings that amt
unknown in Central City,"
WELL" Sam said.' This is kind
of sudden, Mayor"
You're man of your word"
Ellen said. "How can you 60 down
to Santa Fe when you ought to
stay here and protect my name?"
That offer made" Arthur B.
Skies said, ''is still open, Sam. And
hate to remind you = but it was
on your say-so that / ordered a new
schoolteacher. What am l going to
tell her?"
Suppose when you're gone" "
Ellen said, that Cigarette starts
Dragging about where he was to-
night?"
II KNEW | should have killed
him." Sam said. "All right, Mayor.
I'm not the kind that backs out
on lady in distress.
''You have made me the hap
piest woman in the world" Ellen
said. Both Of you. I'll just have to
kiss you!"
She did, and Sad Sam and
Arthur B. Skies turned pleased,
dull red faces toward Hank, who
came to the doorway.
Cigarettes got a question"
Hank said. The schoolteacher is
paying him for coming up here to-
night, and the mayor is going to
pay his fine, but he wants to know
who pays for the busted windows
in the hotel. Nobody took that into
account, he says"
There was a short silence during
which something very close to
laughter seemed suddenly to be
twitching the corners of Sad Sans
mouth. He glanced over at the
schoolteacher. Ellen didn't turn
away. She just stared searchingly
at Sam.
"Well, sir," Sad Sam said, II ex-
pect | might as well be good for it
as long as everybody is throwing
in on this play"
And that's all there is to the
story. But it explains why my
grandfather and grandmother al
ways laughed when the hero of a
western movie rode off into the
sunset. They knew what the right
ending ought to be. The End
