"You can't tell much about women.
There was a girl who surprises us once
iu n way out in Wolfvillc. Miss Ituolt
er, who runs tho O. 1C restaurant, gets
this female from Tucson to fry flap
jacks an' salt boss, an' he'p her deal her
little gastronomic game. This vero
girl's name is Jc "nlo Tucson Jennio.
Sho seems a nice, good girl, too, an' in
less'u tw o weeks there's half the camp
jest wliinins" to marry her. It affects
business, it's that bad almost changes
tho channels of trado. Cherokee Hall
tells mo there ain't half tho money
gets changed in at faro as usual, an'
the New York store reports men goin'
broke ng'in b'lled shirts and similar
deadfalls daily. Of course, this yere
first frenzy subdues a whole lot after a
month.
"If Jennio notices it, I don't know,
but she nover tips her hand to nobody;
jest shoves these foolish youth their
daily beans, an' Ignores all winks and
looks complete. At last one by one
tho various hands goes in the discard,
an' tho boys, gettin' discouraged,
shoves back an' quits. Finally they're
all out but two, an' ono of them was
never in so far as hitnso'f or anyono
else ever sees. Theso yere is Tutt an'
a man named Jim Wallace. Tutt is
tall un' good lookln' enuff, but back
ward an' bashful. No one ever detects
him once lookln' at Jennie an' I don't
think ho does. Ho confides in mo all
quiet after tho smoke cl'ars away, that
ho never thinks of It.
"Hut Wallace is different. He sots
In to win Jennio hard and heavy an'
tries to crowd tho game an' get action
for his money. It looks likes he's doo
to mike tho trip, too. Miss liucker is
backin' his play, nnd Jennie herse'f
sorter lets him set 'roun in the ketchen
an' watch her work, which thlsyero is
license an' riot itse'f compared with
how she treats others. Occasionally
some of us sorter tries to stack up for
Wallace an' seo.whar he stands with
the game.
'"How's It goin', Wallace?' Enright
asks ono daj
" 'It's too many for me,' says Jim.
'Sometimes I thinks I corrals her an'
then agin it looks llko I ain't in it.
Jest now I'm fcelin' some dejected.'
" 'Somothing pughter be schemed to
settle this yere, says Enright. 'It
keeps the camp in a fever an' maybe
gots serious.'
"'If somobody would only prance in,
says Doc Peots, 'and shoot Jim up
some, you'd have her easy. Females is
llko a rabbit in a bush pile you have
to shake things up a lot to make 'em
como out. Now, if Jim was dylu' an'
sho cares for him, she's shorely goin'
to show her hand.'
'"I wants to pause right yere to ob
servo Doc Peets was the smartest an'
best cdicated man I ever sees in my
life. An' what he don't know about
squaws Is valueless as information.
But to proceed:
" 'That's right, says Cherokee Hall,
'but of course it ain't goin' to do to
shoot Jim none.'
" 'I don't know,' says Jim. 'I stands
crcasln' a little too quick if I'm shoro
it fetches her.'
" 'What for a game,' says Cherokee,
'would it bo to jest play like Jim was
shot? Wouldn't that make her como a
runuln' same as if it was shore enuff?'
" 'I don't sco why not,' says Enright.
"Well, tho idea gains ground an' at
last gets to bo quite a cunspir'cy. It's
settled we plays it, with Dave Tutt to
do the shootln'.
" 'An' wn makes tho game complete,'
says Jack Moore, 'by grabbln' Davo
immediate an' ropin' of hlin bofore tho
committee, which convenes all reg'lar
and decorous in tho Bed Light saloon
a purpose: an' we all lines out llko
we'ro goin' to hang hlra for the kill
ing? Otherwise It don't look nacheral
no how, and' sho shorely detects it's a
bluff.'
"So wo gots things all ready an' in
tho middle of the afternoon when Jen
nio is draggiu' her lariat around loose
an' no thin' much to do 'causo wo ain't
comin' to disturb her none in her
dootlcs touching them flapjacks an'
salt hoss we all gets over in the New
York store an' lays Jim on some botes
an' a wagon cover over him for a
corpse.
"'Cl'ar things out of the way alonjr
by Jim's head,' says Moore, who was
taking a big interest. 'Wo want to
fix things so Jen gets at him easy. You
hyar me? She's goin' to como stam
pedin' in yere. llko a landslide when
sho gots tho news.
"When everything's ready Tutt nnd
Moore, who concloods it's well to have
a good deal of shootln', bangs away
with their guns about four times
apiece.
" k ,t shootln' once or twice,' says
Moore, 'might arouse her suspicions.
It would bo over a heap too quick for
tho real thing.'
"Tho minuto tho shootln' is ceased
we all takes Tutt and surges over to
tho Bed Light to try him; a pendln'
of w lrich Dan Boggs santers over to
the O. IC. restaurant an' remarks, all
casooal an' careless like:
" 'Davo Tutt down. Jim Wallace a
minuto back good clean gun play as
eer I sees, too. Mighty big credit to
both boys this yere is. No shootln' up
tho scenery, an' the bystanders, nor
sech klobbcrin' work, but cvorything
goes straight to centers.'
" "tVhar is he?' says Jennie, lookln'
breathless an' sick.
" 'Jim's remainder is In tho New York
store,' said Dan.
" 'Is he hurt?' sho gasps.
" 'I don't reckon he hurts none, 'cause
ho's dono fluttered from tho perch.
Why, girl, he's dead eighteen bullets,
caliber 45, plumb through him.'
" 'No, but Davel Is Dave shot?' Tuo
son Jennio says, a-wringin' of hor
small paws.
", 'Now, don't you go to fcelin' dis
couraged nono,' says Dan, beginnln' to
feel sorry for her. 'Wo fixes the wretch
so his murdcrin' spirit won't bo an
hour bohlnd Jim's gettin' in. JTho
Stranglers has him in tho Rod Light
makln' plans to stretch him right now.'
"Wc had just consoomed drinks all
'rtrand an Enright this in the chair,
an' we're busy settln' up a big front
about liearin' tha case, when Tucson
Jennio with a scream as scares up sur
roundln' things to sech a limit that
flvo ponies hops out of the corral an'
flies, comes chargln' into tho Red
Light, an' the next instant she drifts
around Tutt's neek like so much snow.
" 'What for a garao do you call this,
anyhow?" says Moore, who's a heap
scandalized. 'Is this yero maiden play
in' this camp?'
" 'She's plnm locoed wllh grief' says
Dan Hoggs, who follcrs her in, 'an'
she's done got 'ora mixed in her mind.
She thinks Davo is Wallace.'
'"That's it,' says Cherokee. 'Her
mind's stampeded with the shock. Me
an' Mooro takes her over to Jim's
corpse, an' that's shore to rovlvo her.'
An' with that Cherokee and Moore goes
up'to lead her away.
" 'Save him, Mr. Enright, save him!'
sho pleaded, still cllngln' to Tutt's
neck llko the loop of a lai lat. 'Don't
lot 'cm hang him! S.tvo him, for my
sake!'
" 'Hold on, Jack,' says Enright, who
is lookin' mighty thoughtful. 'Jest
everybody stand their hands yere till I
counts tho pot an' notes who's shy. It

young female a question. Young

you fully informed as to whoso neck
you're hanp;ln' to?'
" 'It's Dare's, ain't it?' sho says,
lookin' all tearful in his faco to mako
shore.
"Enright an' the rest of us don't say
nothin', but jest looks at each other.
Tutt flushes up an' looks pleased both
at once, but jest the same he puts his
arms around her like the dead game
man he is.
" 'What'll you have, gents?' Enright
says ret last, quite thoughtful. 'The
drinks is on me, barkeep.'
" 'Excuse me,' says Doc Peets, 'but
ns tho author of this yere plot, I takes
it the p'isen is on me. Barkeep, sot
out all your bottles.'
" 'Oents,' says Jack Moore, 'I'm as
peaceful a man as ever jingled a spur
or pulled a gun in Wolfville, but is I
reflects on the active part I takes in
this yere play, I w on't be responsible
for results if any man comes between
me an' payin' for these drinks. Bar

"Well, it's hard encomcratln' just
how many drinks we do have. Jim
Wallace throws away tho wagon cover
an' comes otcr from tho New York
store an' stands in with us. It gets to
bo a orgy.
" 'Of.course it's all right,' says En
right: 'the camp wins with Tutt In

" 'You should have asked me,' says'
Faro Nell, who comes in right then an'
rounds up right close to Cherokee.

tho vaulting salmon and the merry,
