“ I’m sorry.” Stover did not Inter­

“ Your diet ain’t been righ t” ex­
plained Willie. "You ain’t wild enough
to suit us.”
“ Is this a Joke?”
” We ain’t never joked with you yit,
have we?”
“ No. But— ”
"This breakfast goes as she lays!”
Glass broke abruptly Into smothered
merriment. "When I laugh nowadays
it’s a funny Joke,” he giggled.
That grown men could be so stupid
was unbelievable, and Wally, seeing
himself the object of a senseless
prank, was roused to anger.
"Lawrence, get my coat,” said he.
“ I’ve been bullied enough; I ’m going
up to the house.” When Stover only
continued whittling methodically, he
burst out: “ Stop honing that shin­
bone! If you like It you can eat It!
I’m going now to swallow a stack of
hot cakes with maple syrup!”
"Mr. Speed.” W illie impaled him
with a steady glare, “ you’ll eat what
we tell you to, and nothin’ else! If
we say 'grass,' grass It’ll he. You’re
goin’ to beat one Skinner if It takes
a human life. And if that life hap­
pens to be yours, you got nobody but
yourself to blame.”
"Indeed!”
"You heard me! I ’ve been set to

boys '11 guard you nights. We been
double-crossed once— it won't happen
again.”
"You intend to make me eat this
disgusting stuff, whether I want to or
not?” Even yet the youth could not
convince himself that this was other
than a joke.
"No.” W illie shook his head. "W e
just aim to make you want to eat It.
Then Larry Glass made his fatal
mistake.
"Say, why don’t you let Mr. Speed
buy you a new phonograph, and call
the race off?” he inquired.
Stover, stricken dumb, paused, knife
in hand; W illie stared as If bereft of
motion. Then the former spoke slow­
ly. "Looks like we’d ought to smoke
up this fat party, Will.
W illie nodded, and Glass realized
that the little man’s steel-blue eyes
were riveted hatefully upon him.
" I ’ve had a hunch It would come to
that,” the near-sighted one replied
“ Every time I look at him
I see a
bleedin’ bullet hole ln his abominable
region, about here." He laid a finger
upon his stomach, and Glass felt a
darting pain at precisely the same
spot.
“ That’s where you hit the gambler
at Ogden,” he heard Stover say— It
might have been from a great distance
— "but I aim for the bridge of the
nose."
“ The belly ain’t so sudden as the
eye-socket, but it's more lingerin,’
and a heap palnfuller," explained the
gun man, and Speed was moved to
sympathy.
“ Larry only wanted to please you—

Jack-rabbit jumped at him this morn­
ing and he bolted to the outside fence.”
Larry forced his employer to a seat,
then, securing a firm hold of the flesh,
began to discourse learnedly upon
anatomy and hygiene, the while his
victim writhed. It was evident that
the cattlemen were intensely interest­
ed. “ Well, sir, when I first got him
his sploven was in terrible shape,”
said Larry. “ In fact, X never saw
such a— ”
“ What was ln terrible shape?” ven­
tured the tenor.
"His sploven.”
"Sploven! Is that a locality or a
beverage?”
Glass glowered at the cause of the
Interruption. " It ’s a nerve-center, of
course!” Then to the others, he ran
on, glibly: “ The treatment was sim­
ple, but It took time. You see, X had
to first trace his hedildo to its source,
like this.” He thrust a finger into
Wally's back and plowed a furrow up­
ward. "You see?” He paused, tri­
umphantly. "A fore shortened bedildo!
It ain’t well yet.”
“ Can a man run fast with one of

“ Certainly, cer-tain-ly— provided, of
course, that the percentage of spelldif-
fer ln the blood offsets it.”
Both cowboyB came closer now, and
hung eagerly upon every word.
And— does it do—that?” they ques­
tioned, while Fresno suggested that it
was not easy to tell without bleeding
the patient.
No. no! You can hear the spell-

"Put your ear to his chest. Hear

“ That’s fine!”
"W e are sure pleased, and we've got

W e’ll bring it ln.”
"It’s a present!” exclaimed the ath­
lete, brightly, when the three had gone

"Y e s !” Glass laughed, mirthlessly.

“ Well, how do you know 1 can't

"Just the same, I'm In pretty good

himself, and took a seat ln the cosey-
