The place had a lunch counter, 'with eight stools and enough ,room for three tables. It was 1 about half filled with' customers. ,A Chinese cook could be seen through the opening that led in to the kitchen. A handsome .woman of about 30 was behind 1 the counter. - ' ' , ' She came up as Rosser took 0 stool. "Steak, beef stew, 1 steak and beef stew,!' she said. "Cof 'fee, tea or coffee." "Which do you recommend?" "Neither," the woman retorted, "the beef's tough and two days old,, but it's the best there is, and you look like -you've got a healthy set of teeth. Better have black . coffee, the milk's turning sour." - .. ' . "I'll leave it to you." "Then it's thf beef stew." She went to the opening into the kitchen and gave the order. She turned, looked back along the counter. . "Don't I know you?" "Ogallala," Rosser said. . . She winced. "You were the tewn marshal. Tom Rosser." A cloud came over hen features. 1 "Nine years ago, no, let's face it, 11 years ago. I I was 17 years old.!,, - "You were a very pretty girl," Rosser said, then adflcd quickly, ('you've improved." ' "Improved?" Bitterness came ' into her voice. "I've pent 1 1 years going from town to town." , "You own this place?"; "It isn't much, but what there l, I own.. Every stick,, every plate and saucer." She cocked her head to one side. "My name is Mary Donley. - That's my real name."-. , ,- A MAN who was easily six feet four, weighing in the neighbor hood ot 240, got ap from one of the tables and came forward. His face looked as if it had once en countered the kick of a horse. 1 . He said, "I heard your name, Rosser." 1 Rosser half turned, looked over hia shoulder. "Yes?" i "I wasn't in the Palace when you come in this afternoon,'' the big man said, "but they told me you was throwing your ' weight around." " ' - - "You heard wrong." "I hope so, on account of I ivork for Mr. Condor and my iob's throwing out people 1 who get rough in bis place' He showed blackened teeth In a sneer. "My name's Flon. Re member it." " "Your bill's a dollar, Flon," snapped Mary Donleyf 1 "I never paid more'n 75 cents." "From here on it's a dollar. From you .. ." : - J Flon took a silver dollar from his pocket, tossed it to the coun ter in front of Rosser. c ."Later," said -Flon, "I'll catch you later. Be a pleasure.". His hand still in nis pocicei, no lurnea and walked for the door. - The door closed on Flon. Mary Donley turned to Rosser, "I'm sorry." "Nothing to be sorry " about, Everv town has its Flon." t "He broke a man's arm last week." -.:v .- "He's broken heads, too, I Im agine, but someday a man half his size will send a bullet into him." . "Bef stoo," yelled the Chinese rook. - - ' Mary Donley went off and brought Rosser his food. Rosser was still eating some 10 minutes later when Wes Porker, the sher iff, came in and seated- himself on the stool beside Rosser. Town's buzzing," he observed quietly. "The big fellow wno was in here a little while ago?" - - "Flon? No, I, hadn't heard aoout that." The sheriff frowned. "He's a sort of bodyguard for Riley Condor. Don't know where Condor picked him up, but he's mean . . and strong as a buffalo bull." He paused. "Your show down with the tinhorn, Taven- ner." "I had a brush with him in St. Paul." He doesn't amount to much, but Sim Akins, Condor's lookout, has been making big talk." t. ROSSER hesitated. "This Akins ... he says I've lost my nerve? Is that it?" "He was just talking." "But that's the gist of it?" "I think he talks too much for a righting man." He grimaced. "So does Honsinger, for that matter. But Honsinger's got a record.", ' . - ' , "Parker," said Rosser wearily, "I've seen all of the fancy gun boys. 1 met John Wesley Hardin, 'way back in '71. s I watched Wild Bill Hickok dot i's in a sign. 100 feet away., I even knew Jacob Bartleg, who could shoot rings around Wild Bill. Johnny Hon singer's no better than any of those chaps." - "Probably not as good. .But Wild Bill's dead" -1 ! "Killed by a man nobody ever heard of." - "And John Wesley Hardin's in! Huntsville Prison. Downed. by a' Texas Banger nobody ever heard of. Pat Garrett got Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp hung up his guns.'!' A furrow creased Park er's forehead. "The . point , is, Johnny Honsinger's the best or the worst who's still around. At least he thinks he is, and that's important. Honsinger'd like noth ing better than to go up against "a man like me?" " Parker nodded. "He'll prove . PORTLAND GRAIN White wheat 196H. Soft' white, H.R.; applicable iMtt. White, club lSfiii. vt Hard white baarl ordinary no bid. Oats no bid. . , . ... . , ,..
