WANTED FOR MURDER
Will be Seniors Next Year
Carter Wayburn, sheriff of the Lone*Pine district, Arizona,
mopped his forehead fiercely.
This was one of his life-long
habits. His being so fat and waddly accounted for it, but this
time he had a reason: He was to find the murderer of John
Holmes, banker of Ixme-Pine. who (the murderer) had shot
Holmes and then made away with twelve thousand dollars. No
clues could be found. In this tho murderer had be4n too wise
for the sheriff and all the volunteers hunting for him. Sheriff
Wayburn mopped his forehead once more, then arose and went
to the window of his dingy little office. Seeing nothing to in­
terest him, he opened his door, stepped out. mounted his big
bay horse and started away nt a gallop.
A short distance out of Lone-Pine there rode a stranger, a
middle-aged, sharp-looking, weather beaten man with keen
eyes nnd skin like leather, as tough and as brown.
Nobody
around Ixme-Pine knew the stranger and nobody knew his
name.
His keen blue eyes scaled the barren cliffs along the
narrow road.
Ho smiled to hinvelf and spurred his horse on
to greater speed.
’ .

On his way along the road. Sheriff Wayburn met his right­
hand man. Brethwatt.
"Hello!" he called out as he saw him. but Brethwait did hot
volutneer to answer, although the Sheriff repented his greeting.
"What’s new ?” queried Wnybum. "Any trace of the mur­
derer?"
"It looks pretty fishy to me, Wayburn,” replied Brethwait.
"No clu< > at all.
We found one of your boot-tracks there
though. Whnt were you doing there?”
"Investigating.”
The sheriff mopped his forehead again
and they rode on in silence.
Past fields of dry grass, sage and mesquite they rode until
a rocky cliff loomed close to them.
"Halt!” cried a voice which ■ >med to come from nowhere.
Sheriff and assistant both stopped short.
"Hands up, yog!
cried the voice again, more menacingly this time and nearer.
•
He look«d at Brethwait keerh’. “Get out!” he said, then tuni-
•iiig harply to Wayburn. "YoiK canted for the murder of
John Holme'.” he said imply, nnd t imed Wayburn’s horse

The stranger
grimly reached for a dirty old wallet and from it he drew a

these words: "Hob Holmes,” New York Detective Agency, New-
York.” Convicted by the son of the man he had killed.!
After the trial, when Waybum had been sentenced to hang,
he mopped his forehead and said, "I guess this'll teach me to
do as I would be done by."
