HIE FLYING BELL
A Mystery of a Ranch and the
New Cowboy.
By CLARISSA MACKIE.
(Copyright, 1910, by American Praaa
elation.
They were gathered about the rap
per table In the mess house Gabriel,
"the Crane," Harry Barry and Jim
Lewis.
"The Crane" reached forth a long arm
and dug a spoonful of sugar from the
bowl and conveyed It successfully to
his cup of coffee. As he was repeating
this difficult feat some sound arrested
his band In midair and the sugar sift
ed slowly down upon his 'bacon and
fried potatoes. Ills black eyes were
fixed on Gabriel's face with puzzled
Inquiry.
"Hear it, Gabe?" he muttered anx
iously. .
Gabriel nodded sullenly. "Never misa
It X don't"
"Last time It was" Jim Lewis hes
itated and waited for "the Crane" to
complete the .' sentence, but ' Harry
Barry, a new man on the Lone Bull
outfit, was bursting with curiosity.
"What do you hear, boys? I ain't
heard a sound except the bacon sis
sllng out yonder. You all look clean
calrt What's up?"
"Ha'nta," said "the Crane" solemnly.
Harry '.Barry stared. "Ha'nta!
Where?"
"Hre on the Lone Boll."
"Is It straight V
"Listen!" said Gabriel sharply.
Then through the open door there
Bounded the sweet musical tinkle of a
bell. The sound seemed to drift down
ward from above the house and float
ed Into the silent room with almost
solemn Intensity. '
When It had ceased Horry Barry
turned wondering eyes upon his com
panions. "Thnt's what scant your' he
demanded. ' '
Gabriel nodded. "Sure thing. Ton
don't know half the story." '
"You're all plum locoed, every blame
one o you yes, you and you and yon
and you!" Harry Barry pointed a lean
"I BECKON THIS HERB IN IS HI AS HUN'S
. ABOUT OVXB, EH, BOYS?"
finger at each of them In turn with a
contemptuous flip of his thumb toward
the shivering cook.
They passed the insult, and this fact
'seemed to impress the new cowboy
with the genuineness of their dread.
He pushed his chair back from the
table, rolled a cigarette and lighted It
"Tell It," he said resignedly, and Ga
briel appeared to be relieved at this
opportunity for unburdening his mind.
"It's this way," began Gabriel, ac
cepting a light from Harry Barry's
cigarette and puffing nervously at his1
own. "You never beerd of a Lone Boll
chap being Bcalrt of ha'nta, have you,
Harry?" ' f
"Nary," returned that gentleman Im
patiently. : "You remember Asa Butler?"
"Sure."
: "And Collins and Havden and Der
rick?" ,
Yep." '
"They're all dead, as yon know," Bald
Gabriel impressively.
"I wasn't asking for mortuary sta
tistics," remarked Harry Barry coldly.
"I was asking about the ha'nta on the
Lone Bull."
"Them's the ha'nta !" Interpolated
"the Crane" eagerly. ;
"You mean those chaps come back
to hang around this outfit?" drawled
Harry Barry skeptically. "What do
thev want looking for work, or are
1 they trying to cut out a bunch of cat
ttle? Seems to me that act was But
ler's long suit" ,
, Jim Lewis brought his fist down on
the table until the dishes rattled. "Let
me tell it," he roared impatiently. "It
you'll recollect, Harry, all those four
chaps died within a year of each other.
Every time before one of them died
there came a warning, and after the
warning they Just died."
"What did they die of the warning
or something catching?" grinned Har
ry Barry Impudently. "Seems to me
J remember Hayden died of strangu
lation at the end of well, the end of
his life, eh? And Butler had shingles,
and Derrick fell down Into Canyon
creek and was drowned, and Collins
I forget about him."
"He was kicked by a steer," explain
ed Jim Lewis gloomily. "Well, every
one of them deaths was foretold by
this here bell." His voice lowered, and
the others gathered closer about the
table, listening intently. The cook hov
ered in the background, fortifying his
shattered nerves - by long drafts at
the coffeepot "Five years ago," re
sumed Lewis, "there was seven of us
just like that pome we used to recite
at school and we set around this table
much as we're doing tonight, and we
heard that bell ringing overhead. We
all run out to see what it was, but
nary thing was there in sight It. was
a dark night and the sound seemed to
drop right down out of the sky."
'Sounded like a sheep bell," com
mented "the Crane." -
"Maybe 'twas a dinner bell ringing
in some air castle," remarked Harry
Barry Innocently, but his grin vanish
ed under Jim Lewis' gloomy scowl.
"You'll laugh on the other Bide of
your face later on, pard. As I was
saying, we went out to see what the
noise was, and there was nothing to
see, only we could hear the tinkle,
tinkle, over . our heads, and after
awhile it stopped, and we went Inside,
and Butler acted just like you're doing.
Harry he laffed at the whole thing,,
and six months afterward we planted
him dead from, the shingles!"
"I had the shingles lots of timet
when I was a kid," remarked Harry
Barry thoughtfully. "Every time I
hooked it from school or went In swim
ming out of season my dad he'd take
down a big flat shingle and well, go
on, Jim. Why didn't all of yon die
when you heard the passing bell, eh?"
" 'Twan't our time; mebbe it'll come
next. It's likely to be any one of us
that heard it The next year it was
Hayden, and then Collins, and then
Derrick. This is the first we've heard
it for some time." Jim Lewis borrow
ed some tobacco from "the Crane" and
proceeded to roll several cigarettes with
lithe brown fingers.
Harry Barry sat up very straight
and solemn. - "Yon mean one of ns
here Is going to die because we heard
that bell?"
"Sure thing,'1' answered Lewis, and
the others nodded approval.
"Mebbe it will be yon." Harry. Bar
ry pointed his finger at Jim Lewis.
"Mebbe," said that gentleman, gloom
ily surveying the smoke stained wall
"Or you," again pointed Harry Bar
ry, this time at 'the Crane."
"I'm looking for it," shivered "the
Crane."
- "Or you." '
Gabriel shrugged his shoulders in
differently. "Quien- sabe?". he mut
tered between his teeth. '
"You're a mush hearted lot," sneer
ed Harry Barry, rising to his feet "If
I'd known you'd all sicken and die be
cause you heard a sheep bell" He
stopped short
Jim Lewis arose to his tall height;
with a queer light in his gray eyes.
"Sheep bells don't ring at night oat
of the sky," he said impressively.
"This bell only rings at night, only
once in awhile during the year, and It
rings slow like, Just tolling, and some
times there's a groan a hollow groan
like a soul in torment" He tight
ened his belt and spoke with lowered
voice. "It sounds like it was a Dell
flying through the air ' attached to
nothing, ringing, ringing Hark!"
Instinctively they arose to their feet
and stood with bent heads in a listen
ing attitude. Then there floated In the
soft tinkle, tinkle, growing louder and
accompanied by a snoring groan.
Once, twice, it seemed to pass close
above the mess house, and then It died
away into silence.
. They all looked at Harry Barry.
He stood rigidly by the table, star
ing out into the night, bis big eyes
wide with terror, his mouth open and
his chin wabbling shakily. The ciga
rette dropped unheeded from his limp
fingers to the floor, and the minutes
passed, and still he stood as if para
lyzed with horror of some invisible
evil.
' Suddenly he uttered an ear splitting
screech and flopped to the floor, where
be lay motionless as a corpse. They
stood In a circle, staring down at him,
not one lifting an eye to the other. In
the background the cook watched open
mouthed.
After a long silence "the Crane" un
join ted -his long body and stooped
above the prostrate man. He laM a
hand on Harry Barry's pale, forehead
and leaped np with a yell. ;
"What's the matter T demanded
Lewis excitedly.
"Done for."
. "You're Joking!" insisted the other
desperately.
" "Try him and see scalrt piomb out
er his life. Cold as charity and dead
as a doornail," quaked "the Crane." .
Jim Lewis knelt down and laid1 his
hand on Harry Barry's blue flannel
shirt above his heart He felt of his
forehead and winced, turned np an
eyelid and shivered. Then his hand
went around to his own hip pocket and
brought back a flask filled to the neck.
This he applied to the closet? locked
teeth of Harry Barry and- managed to
empty the contents down bis throat
"He s wallers!" he cried exultantly,
"Fetch me a pail of water, Gabriel 1"
Gabriel turned to obey and then stood
till in his tracks. With startling sod-
denness Harry Barry had returned to
consciousness. Jerked himself to a sit
ting posture and. rubbed the back of
his head thoughtfully. "That there
was prime whisky, Jim," he grinned.
"Boon's It touched my throat seems
like I beard tinkle bells and groans.
I don't wonder yon Lone Bull chape
lose your nerve when that old tawny
owl from the canyon flies over the
house trailing the sheep bell from her
claw. I reckon this here busMasnonfs
about over, eh, boys?"
They grinned sheepishly. "We reck
oned yon was dead from 'fear, Harry,"
admitted "the Crane." "We didn
count on your knowing I about that
there old bell owl!"
Harry Barry rolled another cigarette.
"I oughter explain that lotted the belK
on that owl," bo dnwledfmeekly.
