"Well, since we was drinking with
Shorty, we thought it only a friendly

stairs. The fellers In the back room
comes in and stands In the door and
grins, and a lot of people comes In off
the street to stand around the wall
and look on. The barkcep wants to
shut us off, but llo;,aii sees lots of
good money coming over the bar so he
says to let it go as she looks
"Then Caddo and Posthole gels Into
an argument about what is the proper
Apache yell. And everj time one of
them opened his mouth to give the
yell, we all veiled so he couldn't hear
himself, think, which makes both of
them slightly hostile. Hogan sees that
they was on the peck and begins sell-1

what to say Caddo has the big chief
' cornered with two revolvers, one of his
own and one he yanks out of Shorty's
holster. Tip- hlef puts up both hands
and begins calling Caddo all kinds of
drunken fools.
"But Caddo holds the guns on him
Stead) enough and says You used to

.no chances but every time Posthole
shools. he jump;! stiff-legged hack and

Then ffogan lakes a hand. Look

such doin's n my place."
He starts to reach under the bar
but two of the other boys has him
covered quicker 'an scat and he thinks
better of it.
We have him come out front and
line up with tie- iat man hut he re
fuses to dance till Posthole shoots off
one of his boot heels and then he tries
to hold up both hind legs at once. Ills
act was most as amuslh' as the chief

sion Me savs, That haint hardly
right boys. 1-un is fun, but '
Uight away Caddo turns a gun on
him and aays, If you don't like this
show come and see how much better
you can do.' oh, the excitement was
becoming Intense, all right, and all six
of us was handling guns by ihis time
"There wasn't room in the saloon
for all the performers to dance so we
marched em out front and lined cm
up In the street under a lamp. Then
Shorty done some fane- shooting and
them fellers danced a trlette or what
ever you would call it and the CTOWd
just roared.
"But it is easier to start a thing like
that than it is to finish, and We fin
ally had to turn them loose telling
them to march straight up main street
and not to look back, but to keep a
gom which they done.
"When they was out of sight we all
goes back Inside and Shorty gets be
hind the bar and serves drinks free
to all the riowil 'till t K,. I... I
comes In through the back door and
says; I don't wish you fellers any bad
luck, but the sheriff is getting up a
posse to take you in. Youd'd better
be gftltin' across Into the territory.'
'florae of the crowd thinks tins is
just a scheme to scare us away from
the keg:, and bottles, but Shortv
scratches his head, I dunno," ha savs,
but what the gent Is right. Anyhow,
I think we'd better get back to the
livery stable where our horses and
Winchesters i.'
' And we hustled and runs nearlv
all the way to the barn win. r-- the p..n.
ics look surprised to See us b.u-k so
early. W saddles up in a hurrv, vou
bet, and paid for the horse's feed We
; looks at our guns again and rides out
On the street .
"Uptown you can see bunches of
j men standing out in the street vvateh
lng: so we turn our horses south to
wards the bridge but Just before we
gets to It a man steps out in the road
and says. 'Halt! 1 command vou to
surrender In the name of the people of
Ka 1183 5.'
'We don't do it. With Shorty In
tne lead, vvi d.eic,. suie-.isc 0,,t n( the
1 .mphght, go through a front gate
I across a lawn, around a house and out
the back gate Into an allev, taking
iwlrh us a whole back yards full of
clothes lines.
From the alley wo come out on a
side street away from the lamps and
we find it is. a might) dark night. We
are In the residence part of town and
find our way along hv the lights in
the houses. Wc can hear men yelling
to one another and horses galloping
down town but wc keep following
Shorty up one street and down another
'till we fitch up gainst a barb wire
fence.
Shorty has wire cutlors In hi3 pocket
so the fence don't stop us very long
and we ride across a field. In about
a quarter of a mile we runs pumb
against a small ha- stack and Shortv
halts and calls a council of war.
" T figure' he says, 'that we are about
a mile out of Caldwell but I can't tell
In what direction.'
"Someone says to guide by the north
star and go straight south, but Shortv
says 'How are we going to get across
that creek and not get stuck In the
quick sands'" Then he thinks we are
Just about as safe one place as another
and we decide to stay where we arc
till It gets daylight.
"Just then we hear a bunch of men
riding fast along a road not far away
and talking and we decide to keep
pretty ijuiet.
"We select one man to stand guard
over the horses- and the rest lie down
behind the stack and go right to sleep,
being tired from riding all day.
' About midnight we hears a yell
that brings us all up standing. And
then we see that the whole country
is light as day, because the haystack
Is afire and burning to beat the band
"The chump on guard, being lone
some, had rolled a cigarette and
throwed the match down loo close to
the haystack. hen ho found the
stack was on fire he tried to put it
out himself and didn't bother us un
til It was too late.
'That's the great curse of the clg
ar tte habit. It takes so many
matches Its plumb dangerous.
' Well, we left in a hurry going due

"Blue Danube Waltz"
The "Blue Danu'e Wahr" ranks
easily as the waltz of waltzes Popu

there was a time, not so many years
iC, when the whole world seemed to
have gone waltz mad. At the height
of this time the beautiful "Blue

world by storm Ita appeal is truly
irresistible omethtrig that never can
be lost It is doub'.ful if anything yet
has approached, for sheer beauty and
perfection, the present recording, on a
new Victor Record, by the Philadelphia
Orchestra.
The Flonzalev Quartet this month
has choren a little masterpiece from
Tsehaik-owsWy's th.rd quartet in E
Flat Minor for recording on a new
Victor Record. This scherzo is rnt'ier
more in Fastern style than in pure
Ru ssian and r cher tone colors we--?
never called for by a string quartet
compocr and proriurd by a quartet
organization. The che-:' theme is viva
cious and brilliant; th? second theme
.-nno inccrd by the viola be ng in con
trasting style heavy with the desert
languar' The joyous first theme re
turns, bringing the movement to a
rippling close, in which a pizzicato
r.ote here and there touches it otT as
a bnoht rem touches off the colorful
folds of some , 5! r.inge Oriental rat
meet. Those who enjoy listening to
each instruTT-ent "voice" ai a thing
