Hut those arms were, 'suddenly,' no haven, no shel ter, lie. put her from him, gently, hut wilh iron firmness, and walked out of the house, ihtoiiLth the news paper office, down the broad and sinister red road; CHAPTER IV i ex-,e,ov- Yancey put his (ucstioti wherever he came upon a little e,roup (1f three or four loimuini: on saloon or store porch or street corner, "flow did l'eedcr come to die?" The effect of the (picstion always was the same. One minute thev wete standimr sociably, eossipinc,', roll inu cigarettes; ciliens at '-ase in their shirt sleeves. Yancey would stroll up with his Imht, graceful slip, his white sombrero with ihe two bullet holes if? -its crown, his Prince Albert, his fine hi.L;h-heeled hoots. He would ask his question. As though by manic, the Kroup disiierscd, faded,' vanished. Yancey strolled out into the cdar ini; sunshine of I'awhuska avenue; Indians, .Mexicans, cowboys, solid ciliens louneed in whatever of shade could be found in the hot, dry, dusty street. On the comer stood I'ete I'ilchlyn talkine; o (he Spaniard, h'.stevan Miro: They were the i.'ossips of the town, these tW'. This Yancey knew.

I.atc in his haanloiis career as a scout on the plains Pilchlvn had been shot in ihe h ft In i I by a poisoned Indian arrow. 1 1 was thought he would surely die. This failing', it was then thoiipht he wuld lose that .',;. But a imn binalioii of iinlituiled whisky, a constitution made up of chilled steel, ami a determination that those varmints should never kill him, somehow caused him not only lo livi: but to keep the poison-' ravaged h'K clinin to his carcase. Stubbornly he had refused to haw it amputated ami by a miracle il had tain d to send Ms poison ihioiivh the i i st of i tint iron frame. But the had withered and shrunk .until, now it was fully twelve inches shorter than the sound limb. He refused to use crutches or the clumsy mechanical devices of the day, and fot about, with astonishing speed and ability. When he stood on the sound le he was, with his magnificent breadth of shoulders, a iiiant of six -feet three. But occasionally the sound leg tired, and he would rest it by slumping for a moment on the oth er. He then became a runt of five feet hieh. These two 'specimens of the Southwest it was that Yancey now approached, his sli p a saunter, his manner carefree, even bland. Al most imperceptibly the two seemed to stiffen, as thoueh bracing tluni sclvcs for action. In the old scout it evidenced itself in his suihlcii emergence from Touninu cripple to statuesque i-dant. In the Span iard you sensed, rather than saw, only a curiously rippliiiK motion of the muscles benealh , the smooth lawny skin, like a snake that edidwii before it really moves to i'o. They stood, the three, wary, sil ent. Yancey balanced hayly from shiniiiK boot te to hih heel and back attain. Yancey -put the eternal questim , 'SM.S 'iWI "Well, Boy, What Do You Know?" of the inquirint reported. "Well, boys, what do you know?"

Jle lifted his ireat head and turned his rare mvx full on the little Spaniard, llis ray eyes, piiieal, mocking, met the black eyes, ami Ihe darker ones shifted. "Are you at all familiar with the works of Socrates 'So crates . . . who well inspir'd the oracle pronounced wisest of men'?" Again Esteven Miro shrugged. This time the gesture was ex quisitely complicated in its mean ing, even for a low-class Spaniard. Slight embarrassment was in it, some bewilderment, anil a Riain t fie merest fleck of something as nearly approaching contempt as was possible in him for a man whom he feared, (Continued next week) Robert liurwick, of Fort JSar well in Craven county, says bis hofis pai'l him a profit of from 60 to 70 cents a bushel for all corn fed them.
