(112 21-72 2ist St.,$ cracked or loose plates into’ FIFTEEN WESTERN TALES Big Tim stalled for time to think. Also, he felt he wouldn’t be so all alone in his new misery when the Mink crowd returned from the torcklight funeral. “TI don’t pay off until the other boys come back and tell me that Jed is definitely buried in the bone- yard.” a Having learned the lesson about ‘‘many a slip...” the Welch crowd agreed,to wait until proof positive came in that Mink had been duly interred. They had not long to wait. | _ When the burial party came whooping into the warmth of the saloon they were greeted by Big Tim’s anxious, but foolish, question, “Did you bury Mink in the bone- yard?” 3 : They had. Tenderly and with grim final- ity. Jed Mink had, beyond all shadow of a doubt, made the boneyard before Pike Welch. “In that case,” shouted Big Tim Mal- loy, “all you crooks what I paid off too soon, by mistake, will kindly give me back the money. I gotta’ give it to the rightful winners ; the ones who bet on Mink.” To the gathered railroaders, this was an hilarious remark. They howled the worried Malloy down. Although they had been split into two separate groups, there were no personal bad feelings. Neither Mink nor Welch had been especially popular—both being foremen—and the two factions were merely split when it came to the betting. Now they had suddenly joined together in a commion cause. Railroad builders versus Big Tim Malloy. *, , It took only a few minutes of rugged per- suasion to convince Big Tim that he would have to pay off—again. Tears were rolling down his fat hog-like cheeks as he doled out, for the second time, money to the win- ners. The new winners. ; Big Tim had nothing left, now, but his portable saloon and his, stock of cheap whis- key. Later that night one of the whiskey barrels exploded. The resultant fire com- pletely destroyed the saloon and its con- tents. SS Big Tim suddenly found out that he would have to demean himself and go to work, if he wanted to continue eating with regularity. Within a week he was reluc- tantly at hard labor—as a Union Pacific track layer. OGG COMICOOOKS. CO
