Jim Wallace—and him. and bis wife, who was purttier than a peach, | and sweeter, and his kid, who was| seven years old and as likely a little | chap as God ever made, was thorough- | breds—all three of 'em—and the camp cottoned to ‘em from the start The Rev. Jim wasn't any of your long-faced, puling pulpiteers who thinks everybody who aie't hitting up the trall along with them is on the road to the bad place not him He'd take a drink with anybody-—always drinking lemonade, of course—and if one of the boys happened to cuss when he was around he never battled an eye didn't cuss hisself, that's all We may have been a rough crowd and | reckon we was, but we wasnt slow tumbling to what was trumps with the parson, nor to folluwing sult peither. Even Three finger Bill, who was the profanest man in Cat Hollow, didn’t renig no oftener than he had to Said he'd cussed, man and for 40 years and It was like going with- out breathing to quit It ain't for Jim,” he says, “nor yet the missus, it's the kid. I'd rather be cinched for stealing cattle, than caught cussing by Jim's kid. That youngster thinks I'm all right, | can tell by the way he looks at me Calis me Mr Bill too. Ain't that cute?

So It got to be the regular thing to hold out a per- centage on all games for the “Jim Church Fund,” as the boys called it “It come over me all of a sudden says Three-finger, when he was telling about It at Big Mike's one evening, “that maybe Jim wouldn't waut to bulld his church out of money that had been raked out of a kitty, so I just asked.” “That's all right,” says he. di@n’t rob anyone, did you?" “No,” says L “Nobody's going hungry on account of 1t*™ “Not in Cat Hollow,” says I. “There ain't anybody's wife deprived of anything by reason of it? “As far as | know, you're the ouly married man in camp,” | says “If that's the case says he, “the money's cleaner than most that goes to bullding churches. Where | come from they was after all the coin they could rake in, and they didn't make no bones about how {t was come by, neither.

There's lots of women what would be ladles if they had a chance,” says he I remember Splke Kennedy taking me aside that night and asking me if it was true what he'd heard about Jim saying his wife would be glad to meet! the women of Cat Hollow ‘l only got t second-hand,” says he, “and 1! bought maybe it wasn't straight.” When | told him It was dead straight thought for a minute, then sald I guess Jim's right alout some wom «nh not being ladles because they never had a chance This morning. when and Kate was standing in front of the Resort, along comes Jim's kid— ue Hae mes straight! un to us ‘Howdy, Mr Spike, and is this your wife® Being sort of fabbergasted, | Answers And what does Kate she blushes to beat the band, then picks the kid right up in her arms and kisses him, and when she puts him iown I'll be darned if | don't believe here was tears in her eyes though ain't sure because she run right into the house” : During the rest of the wasn't much talked about In camp going to church Everybody | wanted to know what everybody else was going to wear, for all thy world like a parcel of women Three-finger Bill allowed was going in a biled shirt want to do the right thing you'll all wear ‘em.’ says he ain't nothing righter than a shirt’ “Are you going to wear a collar, asked Abe Fenton “Nope,” says Three-finger “| ain't A collar keeps me cussing under my Ureath every minute | have it on, and I'm going to church to hear what Jim bas to say, pot to hear myself cuss; but I'll tell you, boys, right here-—not one of you steps through the door of Pat Sheedy’s dance hall next Sunday moruing if you ain't dressed proper, and by proper, you know what | mean.

Then in comes Jim, Mrs Jim and Jim's kid Mrs Jim was the purttiest thing | ever seen—by a mile. She had on some kind of swishy dress all cov- ered with little piok flowers, and Jim's kid was dressed up to the limit; but Jim—I'm a son of a gun if Jim didn't have on his everyday clothes, corduroy pants and a flannel shirt Say, maybe you think Three finger Bill wasn't surprised!
