In the afternoon following the lively

by a grave-faced man, who rapidly
said:

aloud said:
“They're getting organized. Society
for Warning Pete Dlnsdale Against
the Evil Plans of Bandy Allen. First
chap babbled about his luck, now
they’ll ambush me In relays.”
He had scarcely come to this whim­
sical decision when another man glided
from the doorway of a store and be­
gan:
“Mr. Dlnsdale, I want to warn
you—"
Dlnsdale caught him by the collar
of his ragged shirt and shot him
back Into the store.
“Still trying to build up a name os
a fighting man by Ill-using bummers,"
spoke up a rasping voice.
Red of face Dlnsdale turned and en­
countered the scornful gaze of Mrs.
Colt. Beside her and ducking her head
In timorous welcome was Lottie Carl,
trig and trim in new dress and serv­
iceable shoes.
"The man annoyed me, Mrs. Colt,”
gravely answered Dlnsdale.
Lottie Carl advanced to greet him,
but the widow swung her back from
contamination. Dlnsdale sorrowfully
returned her troubled gaze, lifted his
hat to Mrs. Colt and hurried on. For
an hour thereafter It would have been
hazardous for any one to have In­
truded upon his affairs. He had treat­
ed all his experiences as Jokes, but
the meeting with the widow and Lottie
Carl cut him deeper than he cared to
admit to himself. Consequently he
was In a bad humor as he walked back
to the Bed Rock and all but ran Into
Kitty the Schemer. He touched his
hat and stepped aside, bnt she blocked
his path and complained:
'Isn't any of your wealth to come
to poor me, Mr. Bad Man?"
'I'm taking them alphabetically and
haven’t reached the S'* yet,” he grave­
ly explained.
'Joe says you play poor cards," she
sweetly informed him.
‘Joe ought to know. He was In the
game when I was trimmed."
‘I f I tell him that he won't like
your saying I t ”
He smiled cynically and assured
her:
“You efln’t make bad blood between
Joe and me. So long as I don't fall In
love with you Joe won’t sniff any bat­
tle smoke.”
‘J'm afraid Allen will get you first,"
she Jeered. He halted his step* and
cwntemplated her curiously and mused:
"So you're the one who set the yarn
going about me fighting that rabbit."
"You're as poor at guessing as you
are at cards. You’ll know when I be­
come busy."
“Work fast, little woman, as I shall
be leaving the gulch soon."
Her pink and white face hardened
and the blue eyes squinted up with
malice.

dodged remember me, my bad man.”
“I shall remember you for a long
time; but I ’m not your bad man,"
he softly reminded her a* he passed
on.

fellow. "You gave me a bill thia morn­

“Excuse me, neighbor,” sighed Dlna-
