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

"Indeed!”
"You heard me! I ’ve been set to

double-crossed once— it won't happen

"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

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—

Larry forced his employer to a seat,

anatomy and hygiene, the while his

the cattlemen were intensely interest

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,

Wally's back and plowed a furrow up

“ Can a man run fast with one of

hung eagerly upon every word.
And— does it do—that?” they ques

was not easy to tell without bleeding

No. no! You can hear the spell-

“ That’s fine!”

"It’s a present!” exclaimed the ath

Even if he made a clean breast of the

do? De doubted Jack's ability to save
him, in the light of what had just
