There'll be one bloody Englishman less in the vcorld." He turned his back and dug into his order. "Come to my room tomorrow. Maule," said the doctor. "I've got some pointers for you." Hazel strolled into the lunchroom to see her mates. She was rap- iurously greeted by Chris Mauls. "What ho! Youjre lookln’ simply toppin'!" A shade of disapproval dimmed Miss Biggss habitual buoyancy of expression. "Why can't you speak English?" she demanded. "Eh? WIIIE?" he returned In genuine surprise. "What do you think I'm speakin‘?" "There you go." she said fret- fully. "'Speakin'. lookin’. toppln'.' Didn't they leach you better at school? Or didn't you go to school?" "Yes. I went.“ m» answered. a little dazed. "A public school, you know." "So did I. Number Three. They never would have let me speak that way. Yours must have been a very poor school." "A chap can't be always studyln‘. you know,"Mr. Maule pointed out. "Study-lug." "lrig." he repealed, meekly. "But. if it comes lo thai, uliy do you Americans talk as if you had your nose in a clothespin - ping — pin. dash it.“ "We dolft." she retorted wrath- fully.

"I got money on you. "Keep edgin‘ him over tn the Alhambra side. That's where Purvis'll be aittini" “I see, Ho's the umpire." “That ain't it." said the lady. "When you gel. thrown maybe you'll land on the greasy crook. If you feel yourself weakening. remem- ber Old Doc Gibson's prescription." Chris patted his poclrct and nod- ded. "Don't pass ii. out. any sooner Jllflll you have to, though.“ said Sonora. Betting had been heavy through- out ilie town.

It ivas too late- for Alma to turn from thc shameful scene, Stiffenlng her shoulders and her rxflression. she marched on in mil- itary formation.
