(Copyright, 1914, by the Nowspaper Munterpriee Association) The new preacher, busy nafling Up several notices for the edifica ton of the Wolf Passites, gave Kimself an impatient hitch as he stepped on the edge of his long and flowing robes, and then yanked two feet of them up through the Jeathor holster belt he had buckled around his waist. After a last touch on a corner tack, the minister descended se dately by tho steps and went his way, totally ignoring the stares of @ dogen Joungers. The tallest of the fdlers, Cran- @all Felock, headed for the notice @s soon as the preacher was out of te He read the few lines, and then slowly and thoughtfully ejaculated “Hell!” # “Vy you not read him alout? quavered old Hasenstab. “Spit it out!” urged an tmpatient chorus behind Hasenstad. “Notice is hereby given,’ read Crandall, ‘that the church for se lect Christians will open in the Warren building tomorrow. The gallery will be for scrubs, the first two floor lines in the rear for old all the rest ts for select only. “"The common herd will be ad- to Any seat tomorrow for first and last time.

An eager crowd assembled to watch the shooting, and a very fan- cy exhibition took place, given by the Texan, who then turned a chal- lenging eye on his attentive antag- onist. “Not bad,” approved Hazzard, quiet. But now you're done) markin’ round inannymate things, I want you to silhouette me.” _ The preacher stalked dramatic ally to a screen of pine boards and set his back against it. “Give us a good outli son, and put your bullets close together,” Felock raised his revolwer, met the calmly smiling eye fastened on | him from Hazzard’s composed face —and let the pistol fall to his side. “I can't,” he said, briefly, “I'd hit you sure I'm skeered.” “Then if you—" the preacher indl- cated his desire with a gesture, and Crandall coolly took his place. There followed an exhibition of skill which outlined Mr. Felock's head and shoulders with a com- pleteness which was flawless, that gentleman sustaining his rather try- ing position with admirable nerve. | Wolf Pass increased in population i and prosperity, The fame of its a measly Maverick.
