but stubborn. Very plainly they
ad been disagreeing about his line o( j
onduct.
The two yonng men took the trail :
gain. Ahout noon tho next day they
eaclied Saguache. After they had t
aten, Curly strolled oft by hiiffself to
he depot.
"Clmme a ticket for Tin Cup for this
vening. I want to go by the express,"
e told tlie agent.
The man looked at lilni and grinned.
You're so darned active, maybe you
ould get off No. 4 when she is fogllig
along sixty miles per. Hut urost
oiks couldn't, not with any comfort."
"Meaning tiiut the llyer doesn't
top?"
"Not ut Tin Cup."
"Have to take the afternoon truln
hen?"
"I reckon." He punched a ticket
nd shoved It through the window
ownrd Curly. "Sixty-live cents,
dense."
Fhindruu puld for and pocketed the
ieket he did not intend to use. lie
mil found out what lie wanted to
mow. The express did not stop at
rin Cup. Why, then, luid Soapy
narked the time of its arrival there?
le was beginning to guess the reason,
tut lie would have to do more than
;uess.
Flandrau sauntered hack to the hoel
on the lookout for Sam. He was
nit t'u + hut waiting for him was a
toy with a note for the geiitliniuni In
No. 81V.
"Kid looking for you," the clerk
called to the row-puncher.
"At e you Mr. Soupy Stone's ft lend,
!lie one Just down from Dead Cow
. reek?" asked the hoy.
Curly nodded and took the noU?.
This was what he read:
"Sam. route to Chnlkeye's place soon
is y.?u g< t this. There we will talk
iver the business.
"YOU KNOW WHO."
Though he did not know who, Curly
bought lie could give u pretty good
^11 ess both as to the author and the
luslncss that needed talking over.
Through the open door of the hotel
lie saw Sam approaching. Quickly he
muled the Hup of the envelope again.
"A letter for you, Sam."
Culllson tore open the envelope and j
read the note.
"A rricnd of mine has romp to town
und wants to see mo," he explained. |
To help out his hlutT, Curly sprang
the feeble-minded Jest on him. "Rloiele
r?r brunette?"
"I'm no lady's man," Sam protested,
content to let the other follow u wrong
scent.
"Sure not. It never Is a lady," FlanIrau
called after him us he departed.
Hut Sam had no more than turned
l he corner before Curly was out of a
ylde door and cutting through an alley
toward Chalkeye's place. Reaching
the back door of the saloon, he opened
It a few Inches and peered In. A minute
later Sam opened the front screen
ami asked a question of the man in
the apron. The hnrtender gave a Jerk
of his thumb. Sam walked toward tie
rear ami turned in at the second private
booth.
Curly slipped forward quietly, ami
passed unobserved Into the third stall.
The wall which divided one room from
another was of pine boarding and did
pot reach the ceiling. Flattened against
the wall. Ids attention strained to the

utmost, Curly began to catch words i<
and phrases of the low-voiced speak- p
ers In the next compartment. His po- n
sltlon was perilous In the extreme, but n
he would not leave now until he had t<
found out what he wanted to know. o

. . . then you'll take the 0:57,
Sam ..." f
After more whispering, "Yep, soon
as you hear the first shot . . . cover
the pussengers . . ."
The listener lost what followed.
Once he thought he heard the name
Tin Cup, but he could not be sure.
Presently another fragment drifted to
him. . make our getaway and
cuclie the plunder . . ."
The phonograph lifted up Its voice.
This time It was "1 Love a Lassie."
Before the song was finished there
came the sound of shuffling feet. One j
of the inen In the next stall was leav- 1
Ing. Curly could not tell which one, |
nor did he dare look over the top of
the partition to find out. lie was
playing safe. This adventure h.id
caught him so unexpectedly that he
had not found time to run back to his
room for his six-inch gun. What
would liapi>?n to him if he were
caught llstentng was not u matter of
doubt. Soapy would pump lead Into
him till he quit kicking, slap a saddle
on a broncho nud light out for the
Sonora line.
As the phonograph finished unex- '
pectedly?some one had evidently Interrupted
the record?the fragment ;
of u sentence seemed to Jump at Curly, j
"... so the kid will gut Ids In j
the row."
It was the voice of Soupy, raised
slightly to nuike Itself heurd above
the music.
"Take cure," unother voice replied,
uml Flnndruu would huve sworn that
this belonged to ltluckwell.
Stone, who hud been sitting on the
other side of the table, moved close
to the paroled convict. Retween him
and Curly there was only the thickness
of a plunk.
. don't like It," ltluckwell
wus objecting sullenly.
"Makes It safe for us. Resides"?
Stone's voice grated like steel
rasping steel, every word distinct
though very low?"I swore to pay ofY
Luck Culllson, and by (J I'm going
to do It."
Aguln they fell to whispers. The
next word that came to Curly clearly
: was his own name.
"Luck Culllson went his bail. I
learned it this ino'ning."
I "The son-of-a-gun. It's a cluch lie's
u spy. Reckon In knows anything?"
i "No. Can't." ,
"If I thought he did?"
"Keep your shirt on, Lute, lie don't
know a thing. And you get revenge
I on him all right. Sam will run with
him and his friends while lie's here.
Consequence Is, when they iind the
kid where we leave him they'll sure
guess Curly for one of his pardncrs.
Tell you his ticket is good as bought
to Yuma. He's u horse thief. Why
shouldn't he be u ^rnin robber, too?
Thnt's how u Jury will argue."
Once more the voices ran together
Indistinctly. It was not till Rlackwell
suggested that they go and get a drink
that Curly understood anything more
of what was being said.
The outlaws passed out of the little
room ami strolled forward to the bar.
Curly had heard more than lie had
expected to. Moreover, as lie congratulated
himself, Ids luck had stood up
fine. Nobody In the sunburnt territory
felt happier than he did that minute
when he struck the good fresh air of
the alley and knew that lie had won
through his hazardous adventure
ulive.

tli* tonu, where he could thiuk It

Arroyo street Curly came plum?
h 'ft lust his old rango-muto, SlHts
I>uvis. Fhimlriiu caught him hy the
arm. "Hello, Sluts. You're the man
I want."
"I'm pretty busy toduy," Duvls un- J
swered stlllly. !
"Forget It. Title Is more 1io|m>ptant."
"Well?" I *

Iteluctantly l>avls fell in heshle hint.
"All right. Cut It short. I've got to 1
see a man."
"He'll have to wait." Curly could 5
not help chuckling to himself at the
evident embarrassment of the other.
The Impish impulse to "devil" him had
ita way. "You're a man of experience, *
Slats. Kver hold up a train? Sopte of '
my friends are aiming to hold up one N
shortly. If you'd like to get lit I'll S
say a good word for you." '
Davis threw him a look that v
drenched like Ice water. "I expert 'I

"Won't have a thing to do with li
them. Is that it?" h
"Not till the cull comes for citizens f

inny men would have had the couruge i
o send that message to Soapy and his
utfit. For Stone was not only a uianlller,
but a mean one, at that.
Curly sloughed his foolishness and
ame to the point. "You're on, Slats,
'in making that call to you now."
Surprise, doubt, wonder, relief Oiled
a turn the face of the other man.
"I'm listening, Curly."
Ills friend told him the whole story
10111 the beginning, just as he had
"I'm Listening, Curly."
?een used to do In the old days. And
Davis heard it without a word, taking
he tale In quietly with a grim look
lettling on his face.
"So he alms to play traitor to
I'oung Culllson."
"lie means to shut Sum's mouth for
rood and all. That Is what lit: has
eon playing for from the start, to get
tven with Luck, lie and his gang will
jet away with the haul and they will
cave Sam deud on the scene of tlie
loldup. There will tie some shot ting,

mil he had a quarrel and parted emu

in alibi, too, to show he couldn't have

Is? At one lllp of the cards he killi

scores Cullison and he snulfs out Sam
who has had the luck to win the glri
Sotip> fancies. The hoy gets his and
the girl is shown she can't love unothei
man than Stone."
"You've got It about right," Slats ad
milled. "How about warning Luck?"
"The point Is, would he he willing tc
wait and let Soupy play his hand oul
till we called?"
"You would have to guarantee hit j
hoy would be safe meanwhile."

Curly gave Sluts a quarter of an
lour hefore sauntering back to town.
Ls ho was passing the Silver Imllar
.liloou a voire called him. Stone and
Hark well were standing In the door,
flandrau stopped.
Soapy's deep-set eyes blazed at him. |
'You didn't tell me It was Lurk Cul- |
Ison went hall fof you, Curly. So you
mil hliu are thick, are you'/"
"I've met liltn oner, If that's being
lilrk. That time I shot him up."
"Funny. And then he went hall for
'Oil?" I
"Yes."
"Now, I wonder why." ,
The eyes of the man had narrowed
o red slits. Ills head had shot for- i
vard on his shoulders as that of a
nake does. Curly would have given a
rood deal Just tnen for the revolver
ylng on the hed of his room. For It
vas plain trouble was In sight. The
lesperado had been drinking heavily
ind was ready to do murder.
"That easy to explain, Soapy. I
hot him because I was driven to It.
le's too much of a man to hear a
:rudge for what I couldn't help."
"You're a lltir II" ?ll?l I#
I
on promised to sneak up to my ranch ;
nd spy on us. That's why he did It."
With the lust word Ills gun jumped I
nto sight. That he wiih lashing him- j
elf Into a fury was plain. Presently j
lis rage would end In a tragedy.
(liven a ehanec, Curly would have I
un for It. Itut Soapy was a dead shot. |
>f a sudden the anger In the hoy , i
oiled 111? over the fear. In two jumps j *
e covered the ground anil jammed his '
nee close to the cold rim of tike blue- <
teel barrel. ,
"I'm not heeled. Shoot and he
niniied, you coward. And with my ,
ist breath I'll tell you that you're a , '

I'landrati had called Ids bluff, though j fi
e had not meant It as one. A dozen 1
ten were In sight and were wutchlng. '
they liafl heard the young man tell | j
tone he was not armed. I'uhllc opln- (
hi would hold hlin to account If he r
hot Curly down In cold blood. He
ling there undecided, breathing fast,
