The hand was attached to a museular arm, which in turn was at- tached to a burly stranger of unpleas- ant mien, Gray voleed a good- natured protest, but the fellow scowl- ed and refused to acknowledge his mistake. Noting that the man was flushed ,Gray shrugged and allowed the incident to puss, This bootleg whiskey from across Red River was of & quality to scatter a person's eye- sight. For some time the game continued befors Gray won agaln, and the dealer deposited thirty-five stiver dollars be- side his bet. Agaln that sun-browned hand reached forth, but this time Gray seized it by the wrist. With a wrench the man undertook to free his hand; he uttered a threat- ening oath. The next instant he was treated to a surprise, for Gray jerked him forward and simultaneously his empty palm struck the fellow a blind- ing, a resounding smack, Again he cuffed the fellow's face, this time from the other side. ~When he final- ly desisted the stranger rocked in his tracks; he shook his head; he blinked and he cursed; it was a moment be- fore he could focus his whirling sight upon his assallant.

Gray was in a better mood now than for several hours; he had vented his irritation; the air had cleared. After a while he discovered that he was hungry; no longer wWas he too resentful to heed the healthy warn- ing of his stomach, so he left the place. omfortable, out and 50 wil CHAPTER XIX. A Bold, Bad Man Newtown's eating places were not appetizing at best, but a meal could be endured with less discomfort by night than by day, for at such times most of the flies were on the cellings. The restaurant Gray entered was about what he had expected; along one side ran a quick-order counter at which were seated several customers; across from it was an ollcloth-covered table, perfectly bare except for a re- volving centerplece—one of those silver-plated whirligigs fitted with a glass salt-and-pepper shaker, a tooth- pick holder, an unpleasant oil bottle, and a cruet intended for vinegar. Here, facing an elderly man in wide gray felt hat, Gray seated himself. When a departing customer left the door open, the elderly diner grumbled bitterly at thé draught and draped his overcoat over his bent shoulders. Most of the counter customers had How To FORGET TROUBLES | | Tmum.Es knock up your svs- tem like Jack Dempsey knocks || Jown his opponent. | Troubles deal blows both in the head and stomach-—-and they hurt the stomach more than they do the head!

The street door burst open, a noisy crowd poured into the room, a volley of excited questions was raised, Amid the confusion Gray heard his own name shouted, and found him- self set upon by two agitated friends, Mallow and Stoner.
