I yet has something left for the bottle,"
Dlnsdale mnrmured.
Webb's drunken malevolence slowly
died out and he stared thoughtfully at
Dlnsdale. "Huh. I ’ll drink with you,"
he mumbled.
A fte r bolting bis drink Webb slyly
rem arked:
"You tote a likely lot of paper
money round with you, I reckon."
"Always Ilk« to be well heeled—w ith

Webb tugged at his muataclie mid

"Have another." he grunted.
"Thanks. But not tonight.

As he strode to the exit he could
feel Webb’s gaxe boring Into Ills back
As he stepped Into the darkness of the
street a hand touched Ills arm and
caused his own band to close on a
gun. Two round yellow eyes were
biasing at him. The voice of Scissors
addressed him, and he knew the eyes
belonged to the big owl.
“Got my two ounces." exultingly
whispered Scissors “T hat satisfies me

"You'd better keep that talk to your
