Jud Prentiss had his thick, hairy arm hooked under that of Lamprey. Jesse's feet moved reluctantly, dragging the floor. He was not here to get a drink, but because he could not help him- i AND OF CRUSHING YOU I SHUX I HOW FIND ME IN A INSTALLMENT Collie pup at heel, Jim Silcott wandered into the Trail's End looking for a game.

It was early, and there were no customers yet. Back of the roulette wheel stood Kroelling, piles of chips and silver dollars in orderly array within reach. Soon he would be busy, but just now he was at leisure and enjoying a He nodded at Jim, giving the wheel an idle whirl. A professional gambler, he had lived in tolerable peace because he minded his own business strictly. For a moment now he stepped out of character.

"Some of the Hat boys in town today," he said casually. "Drinking some. Jud Prentiss one of them." Jim understood that underneath Kroelling's indifferent manner lay a warning. Probably there had been threats. His eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'll make a note of it in the paper," he drawled. "They've been working right hard at the roundup and are entitled to a holiday, I reckon." EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE IMHl lb MO I WW, CUT WHrl 3 CITY THIS BIG. ANYWAY? A HOBBY. EH? COMES NOW CAN NOT BE- A sifa nt RECKON r-twtjBvsJBaav wa NOT. sell.

"We can't all live to be Me-thuselahs," Prentiss said, and his glance took in the man playing solitaire at the poker table. "If we did it would clutter up the world a heap. We got to think of other fellows pleasure and comfort, Jess." Silcott understood that the quarrel they were fastening on Lamprey was a cut-and-dried rehearsed one.

It was meant not only to punish him but to intimidate the editor. With Jesse disposed of, Jim would be next in line. If he started to leave he would be stopped. He was to sit there while Lamprey took his medicine, so getting a foretaste of what was in store for himself. For Lamprey he cared nothing.

The man boasted too much. He was a handsome, shallow bluff. Jim sized him up as certainly fool and probably knave. By the grapevine route word had reached Silcott that the fellow had tried to play both ends against the middle in the landgrants feud. It would be like him to do something of that kind, for his conceit would lead him to believe he could outwit those he was double-crossing.

"Fact is, I'm not well. I reckon maybe I better not drink." "Never heard you refuse one before," Prentiss commented. "Maybe you'd rather not drink with us." "Nothing to that, Jud. Nothing a-tall."
