Joe Macarthur, the chief, confesses to Gloster that he Killed the two pros- pectors. Samuel Carney, cashier of the Wickson Bank, gives Macarthur the combination to the safe; then double-crosses the bandits by set- ting a trap for them. The robber arc greeted by a storm of bullets The survivors take refuge in an old | stable, then escape in a stampede | of horses, Joe Macarthur, wounded | in the affray, lies dying. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | Perhaps a dozen men stood in the | room. It was a grocery store, Along the shelves the tinned food glitter- od like a thousand small, dull cyes. Glass cases shone faint also., The smell of onions and the carthy odor of molasses was in the air. As for the couch of Joe Macarthur, it was a saddle blanket spread upon the top of the low, bri counter over %hich sugar and flour were wrapped | and passed. The doctor was a busy little man. He had an ungracious pezsonality, and would have starved in a new | community. But he had grown up in Wickson, and therefore his pe- culiaritles were taken for granted. He now stood beside Macarthur looked down into the steady | ast fading eyes of the robber. | “What d'you want?" he asked, | | 80 that the fingers actually touched fer, They would go east and change their ruined name for a new one. “I got something to went on Joe Macarthur, “that'll give Sam Carney a lot of fun to write down.” He paused, and his wicked grin froze the very heart of the poor cashier, “Come closer the rest.of you," he commanded, “I want you to hear it ~— in case he ain’t golng to write it down — fast enough!” They glided obedlently closer. “Put something under my head. It's hard to talk lying flat this way.” Again they obeyed. “Whiskey!" A flask was instantly at his lips. “Now I'm ready—" Here he coughed violently, and again more weakly. A bloody bub- ble rose to his lips, broke, and he wiped away the red drops with the back of his hand. Then his arm dropped and hung limp down from the counter — a great long arm, the dust, And it flashed through the mind of Carney that this moment the out- law had actually come to death's door and that there would be no narrative, But no, now he was speaking. His volce was low and hurried, but cach word was perfectly distinct. If the stumbling pencil failed to re- cord those words, a dozen ears would be ready to swear to them the next day. “I ain't got much time. I got to hurry — T got to begin with the most important part of what I got to say.” He turned his head and rolled his eyes around the semicircle of faces. Is what 1 say going to be be- lieved 2" There was a general nodding of “BUT 1 GOT TO TELL THE T RUTH TO SAVE THE REST.” 177 murmured Macarthur, “What is there that you want?” Macarthur closed his eyes. His lips twitched. But when he looked up again his facc was once more | caim. | “I'm as far gone as that, en?" | “You're far Macarthur,” | apped the doctor. “So it you want | shout for it mow.| Whiskey?” | | gone, His brutality did not bother Mac- arthur. “How long have 1 got “Maybe five minutes, “No more'n that? m a doctor, not a prophet.

Boil rapidly for 20 minutes or until the grains arc soft. The age of the rice has much to do with the quickness with whicl the rice cooks.

The oranges are not sliced across the fruit, but are the sections free from the skin and pithy covering under the rind. ((Copyright, 1025, NEA Service, Inc.)
