8M0KE OF THE
(Continued from Pago 2)
Well folks I has got to admit that
this made the hair on my head .sorta
raise me hat up but I didn't back
down a bit 'cause I had heard many
a time that there wuz lots of money
hid in that there ole shack and I
seeded it to git mart led on. I shore
zn't agonna back out now not
I since I wuz this fcr in the game. And
besides I would git a razzin' from
all of them men if I didn't go through
vlth the job.
"Well fellers I am agonna try it a
vhlrl anyway and in case I don't
ever come back I want someone to
ike good care of my hosscs whose
names is Snake and Nig."
At this statement the men begin to
auarrel over who got my good lookin'
aosses 'cause they knowed that I
wuzn't acomin' back. I wheeled
Snake and Nig around and headed
out northeast of town follerin' a ole
cow trail leavin' the men to fuss over
which one got me bosses and to hol-
ler smart remarks at me back which
made me sorta mad fcr a short spell.
It wuz about nine miles out to the
ole shack. They told me to keep goln'
las near northeast as I could. I wuz
also informed that I couldn't sec that
there ole shack till I got in about a
half a mile of it as the house wuz
down in a low place in the neck of
the country that wuz a little lower
than the surroundln' country. That
town wuz the nearest place where I
could git human help if I needed any.
Nothin' of importance happened on
the way out to the ole shack and I
reached me destination about one
hour before sun. As I rid up to the
ole shack it appeared to be nothing
more than a ole abandon house.
There wuzn't any corral to put me
hOBsea in but there wuz a small
spring back of the house that we
could git water from. I turns me
bosses loose knowin' they wouldn't
go very fer from where I pitched
camp. This I jedged from past ex-
periences. Well I drags me bed up
to the door along with me cookin
stuff intendln to go in; but when I
got to that danged door I drops me
bed and cookin' stuff and Jerks out
me smoke wagon. I shorley Intends to
Inspect this place afore I pitches the
camp In it.
"That would only make a scary fool
out'n me If I did this" I says to me-
elf. Then I grins to meself and
thinks I am already one fer ever
coming to a place like this one any-
way. I put me gun back in its scab-
bard then and pushes the door open
and walks in. The shack bad two
rooms in it a north room and a
"' I I ! SHHiSMH HHiSMSMSiSiSM K. .Lttw il VjCk- 111 !! ismsmsf smsisisisisis
the Finest Tobacco
south room. The south room had
two winders In it one in the south
wall and one in the cast wall; but
there wuzn't no winder stall in the
west wall- which did not seem queer
to me then but it did later as you
will soon hear.
The north room had a winder in
each wall except the wall where it
joined the south room. In this room
there wuz a bum ladder leadin' up
to the loft. I'll jist be danged if I
didn't git a crasy idee in me head
about that there loft and right here
is where I decides to do some tall
inspectin'. I climbs up the ladder
and pushes up on the trap door that
leads into the loft. I'll be danged if
I didn't git shakey and drop that
there door and jerk out me smoke
wagon jist ncause that there door
makes sort of a ssueekin' sound when
I pushed up on it. Well as sure as
me Snake boss has four legs I looks
around silly-like to see if anybody
wuz watchln' me jist like everybody
uocs when they pulls a foolish or em-
barrassin' stunt.
I cusses meself out purtty bad and
goes on up into the loft jist as calm
as if I'd been In me own shack back
home. I explores the thing good all
over but I didn't see any ghosts or
And any money. This didn't disap-
point me much 'cause I knowed that
if there wuz any gold in the ole house
it wouldn't be up in the loft or it
would have been found long ago. I
came down and fired up the fire place
in the north room and cooked sup-
per. I ett all I could hold 'cause I
wonted to unravel the mystery if
there wuz any with me stummick
good and full.
When supper wuz over I set down
to think out what me plans would be
to start the works agoin'. I could
not come to any conclusion; so I
rolls out me bed in the south room
and crawled in fer a good night's
sleep. Well I admits I expectin to
be woke up In the night by some kind
of a ghost or other and git kilt; so I
puts me ole smoke wagon under me
plller. I dosed off to sleep in about
thirty mlnltes.
Well it seems klnda funny but it's
the truth I didn't wake up until the
next mornln'. A funny tblng hap-
pened the sun wuz a lookin' me
right in the face and I'll be danged
if I didn't grab me shootin' iron out
from under me plller and start to
smoke it up a tblnkln' that it wuz
a ghost's flashlight abinln' in me
eyes. But Z gits to me senses purrty
quick-like and soon decides that Z
has only woke too quick.
I rolls out of bed and cooked break-
fast as fast aa Z could 'cause Z wus
shore anxious to fit started to ex.
and only the
1
plorin' that there haunted shack I
mainly wanted to find the hidden
treasure.
Thcto must a been a millyun rats.
The danged scoundrels ctt up more
than half of me bacon which wuz
about all I has to fill me stummick
with. Right here while I wuz eatin'
me breakfast is where I discovered
somethln' that led me to solve the
inystety of the danged place. I no-
tices that there wuz four more one-by-twelve
boards past a extra-large
knot-hole in the partition wall be-
tween the two rooms four more
boards I say in the partition wall ot
the north room than in the south
room if I wuzn't mistook about it; so
I goes into the south room looks at
the partition in here and shore-enuff
the board with the knot-hole in it
wuz jam-up agin' the west wall of
the shack. Next I goes back into the
north room jist to make shore that
I am right shore enuff there wuz
four more one-by-twelve boards be-
tween the knot-hole and the west
wall. And them four boards past tho
knot-hole in the north room made
that there north room four feet wider
than the south room.
I runs outside and shore-enuff the
outside wall of the shack wuz very
straight. When I walks back inside
that there west wall in the south
toom without no winder in it and
them extra four feet in the north
loom and thet there straight wall on
the outside of the shack shore sets
me to thinkln'.
It didn't take me long to figeer
that I wuz on the right track now;
so I loads up me ole hog-leg ready fer
action gits me ole water-proof match
box out and fills her up and gits
ready to git busy. I make shore that
me knife is In me pocket and every-
thing else that would prove hard on
ghosts. Then I walks up to the west
It didn't take me long to flger
wall in that there south room jist as
cr and as straight as a Injun ever
went to camp.
I gives her a hard shove on tho
north end but nothin' doln. Then
I walks over to the south end of that
west wall and gives her a hard shove.
I'll be danged if it didn't move west
two or three Inches. This made fe
feel purrty good; so I shoves on her
some more. It didn't move much
further this time. I backs clean
across't the room and took a run and
busts into that there west wall jist
as hard as I can with all of me
might. Creak creak creak I that
there wall jist slips complete west
four feet. I lets out a bit-dog howl
and jumps back half-way across't the
room with me gun out and ready fer
action.

Center Leaves
I stood there a minite and as noth-
in' happens I walks over to the new-
tliscivercd space Jist u shakin' like
a leaf.
"Well I'll be danged" I murmurs
to meself as I looked on a section of
the floor that had been hid by that
extra wall that I had jist shoved west
four feet. The hidden floor wuz in
two sections a small one about four
feet by two and a bigger one which
wuz about four feet by six. Them
floors looked jist like any ordinary
floor but I Aggers that the small
section of it wuz jist a common trap
floor. Anybody with common hoss
sense woulda figgered this too.
I walks up to it careful like to ex-
amine It. Shore-enuff it wuz a trap
floor. I thinks I will try it out and
right there is where the works start's.
I put me foot on it. It gave under
me weight. I mashes down on it
with one foot while me other foot is
on the other section of the hidden
floor. I mashes down purty hard
and then things begin to happen fast.
Click squeck! that there trap floor
as I thought it to be only goes down
about six inches and then it come to
rest on some bracin' under it. That
six inches wuz enuff to trip the latch
that held the bigger section of that
there hidden floor up when there wuz
any extra weight on it.
Right here I will explain how them
two floors worked before I goes on
with the story. Tho small section of
the hidden floor wuz fixed so when
it went down about six Inches it
k xqStsc
would trip the latch that held up the
bigger section of the hidden floor.
Naturally when anybody steps on any
thing that sinks with them they will
jump backards. Backards I jumps
when it sank down with one of me
that squeekin' sound 'cause mo
nerves Is already flusterated. That
fet o nit while it wuz a making
backards jump wuz jist the undoin'
of me. When I lands on the main
part' of the hidden floor down she
goes so fast that I lost me hat and
also me breath.
Well this big floor wuz counter-
balanced so when there wuz no extra
weight on it it would stay up; but
when a little more weight wus on it
down she would go after the little
part of the hidden floor has gone
down as far as it will and has re-
leased the latch. And the way they
works Is this; at each corner of the
big floor wuz a pully attached to the
sleepers of the stationary floor of
the house; and runnuY through them
pulllcs wuz a good stout rope that
wuz tied to each corner of the big
bidden floor; and then after it run
through them pullles it hung down

.. .one reason
whyLuchies taste
Letter smoother
In Turkey too only the finest tobaccos
are selected for Lucky Strike -the mild-
est leaves the most delicate the most
aromatic. Lucky Strike is the world's
largest user of fine Turkish tobaccos.
Then these tender delicate Turkish
leaves are blended with choice to-
baccos from our own Southland to
make your Lucky Strike a cigarette that
is fully packed so round so firm-
free from loose ends. That's why Luckies
taste better smoother. "It's toasted"
for throat protection for finer taste.

that wuz a hangln' down to the floor
of the cave. All of them weights
wuz jist a little heavier than the
danged big ttrap floor itself.
