Lucky Greenback 







"Could you change this,please?" Frank 
Forrel pushed a crumpled greenback 
across the counter to the teller in the Cat- 
tleman's Bank. 

The teller glanced at the bill doubtfully. 
Across the face of the greenback someone 
had scribbled little clover-leaf designs. 
"This bill's all marked up," said the feller. 

"I know," said Frank, apologizing. "I 
tried to change it all over fawn, but every- 
one figures the money's no good anymore. 
You see / scribbled those clover leaves all 
over it. It's my lucky greenback, but I guess 
my luck's run out. It's the last bill I have." 

"Well," said the teller, with a grin, "in 
that case I'll change it for you." He pushed 
four quarters across the counter and Frank 
took them gratefully. 

"Lucky Greenback," he thought, sarcas- 
tically as he stepped out into the street. 
There'd been a time when that greenback 
had brought him luck. It was the first money 
he had ever earned as a kid. Life had been 
easy then and money came easily too. 
Ranching, gold panning, trail driving . . , 
He'd earned small fortunes at each of 
these — and he'd always given that green- 
back the credit. 

But all that was long years ago. The 
money was all gone and now Frank Forrel 



was nothing but a middle-aged drifter. As 
for his luck — it was all badl 

If was a week later, halfway across the 
territory that Frank read the news— the 
Cattleman's Bank of Dobie, where he'd 
changed his greenback had been robbed. 
To Frank that merely proved his theory. 
That greenback brought luck all right — 
but if was all bad. The bill was a jinxl A 
hoodoo! 

Folding the newspaper, Frank put it 
down on the fable before him and ambled 
toward the cashier's counter of the restau- 
rant where he'd just finished his morning 
coffee. From his pocket he fished the last 
lonely quarter, that was the remnant of his 
lucky greenback. After that was gone 
Frank Farrel would be stone-broke, 

It was at that moment that a huge, un- 
shaven stranger pushed his way up to the 
cashier's counter and shouldered Frank' 
roughly aside. Resentment flared in Far- 
rel's eyes, but he held his temper. A jobless 
drifter in a strange town couldn't afford 
trouble. 

He watched the man pay his check with 
a greenback, and then heard the cashier 
say, "Hold on there. Mister, that bill's all 
scribbled up with clover leaves." 

Clover leaves! Frank was suddenly alert. 
He looked over the hulking shoulders of 
the customer in front of him. Sure enough 
it was Frank's lucky greenback that was 
changing hands here. The lucky greenback 
he'd changed in thatbank back in Dobie: 
The bank that had been held up soon af- 
terward. That was a long way for a bill to 
travel in so short a time — the man who 
carried it so fast so far would have to be 
running all the way — running like a thief. 

Swiftly Frank Farrel drew his gun. "Mis- 
ter," he said to the unshaven lout in front 
of him. "I think you'd better come with me. 
We're going to have us a little interview 
with the local lawman." 

It was two days later that Frank col- 
lected the thousand dollar reward for solv- 
ing the robbery of the Cattleman's Bank. 
Lying on top of the pile of bills was a 
greenback scribbled over with clover 
leaves. Frank grinned. 

It had proved to be his lucky greenback 
after all. ****«. ,»,. .t ^ m . p-,n™ q 1 t „ H0 00 .
