"Wal, what in thunderation do we care for him, when we've got the coin an' are on our way to thet roost we're due to find?" "T don't just like the idee, fellers," replier Hays, evasively. Jim Wall, studying the robber lead- er closely, imagined that Hays was not exposing all the details of his plot. "Let's put my idee to a vote," said Smoky. When this suggestion was solemnly complied with, making use of the deck of cards, it was found that Slo- cum had won. "So far so good," said Hays, as if relieved. "Now let's see. . .

But they'll pay you. Just divide with your outfit an' save our share." "Short an' sweet. I like it more all the time," declared Smoky. "We'll want to know where your camp is," went on Hays. "Reckon Yd better ride out with you tomor- I row." "No. You rustle for Grand Junc- tion. We'll see thet Happy an' Jim know where to find our camp." Jim thought of something: "Men, has it occurred to you that you can't drive cattle up this road and through the ranch?" "Shore. No need. It'd be a sev- enty-mile drive if we came this way. But we'll drive round by Limestone, an' up the other valley road. About the same distance to Grand." The conference ended. Hays turn- ed to the open fire, and seeking a seat in the shadow by the chimney he pondered. It was Jim's opinion that the chief had vastly more on his mind than he had divulged. Lin- eoln gave him a suspicious stare. The others seemed eminently pleased with the outlook, though no more was said in Jim's hearing. They ioked and smoked. Jim bade them good night and went out. His last glimpse of Hays was thought-provoking. Lighting another cigar, Jim strolled up and down the porch, revolving in mind the confer- ence. It was a spring night, starry, with an edge on the mountain tentions to- the suspicion. "Hang the girl part of it anyhow," he muttered, flinging his half-smoked rigar out into the noisy brook. Why did a woman have to come along to upset the best-laid plans of men?" The next morning brought somber faces and action. Five of Hays' out- fit rode away with six of the pack horses and most of the supplies. Hays watched them until they disappeared among the cedars. "Wal, now Ill brace the boss," he said. "What excuse will you give him?" aeked Jim. "Anythin' would do to tell Herrick. But Heeseman will see through me, Tm afeared." "Very well. You tell Herrick that your outfit split over me." "Over you? Dog-gone! Thet ain't go poor. But why?" "Both Slocum and Lincoln are sort of touchy about gun-throwing, aren't they?

His father determined to break him of the habit, He interviewed hls schoolmaster one day ,and sald: "1 want to cure my boy of his betting habits, so if you can get him to make a bet with you and you are certain he'll lose, take him on; then, when he loses hismoney, he'll be sorry 'for himsell." The master consented. Next day Willie said to him, "I'll bet you sixpence you've got corns, sir!" "Good!" thought the master. "1 know 1 haven't, so he's sure to lose." Aloud he said, "Right, Willie, I'll bgt you I have no corns." And he re movéd his shoes and proved it. "You's won," sald Willie, and paid Dp. Next day the master met Willie's father, and said, "Well, I won sixpence off your boy. He bet ms I had corns, and I showed hint he was wrong." "What!
