TWO GUN
Lover?

by Oren Arnold
Roughest
toughest two-gun
gent in all the history of the
West was Roy Bean, self-ap-
pointed judge and desperado killer who
founded and bossed a town named Vinegaroon.
He was too bashful ever to look at a woman, but one
day he found a magazine cover picturing beautiful Lily
Langtry, famous actress. Roy fell deeply in love.
He enshrined her picture over the bar of his saloon, and shot
a man who made a smutty remark about it. He wrote Lily a love
letter every day for three years. He changed the name of his town
to Langtry, in her honor. He went to New York, sat six nights in a
theater to watch her act but never made his presence known. Back
home he wrote some more, and pined, and pined. Time marched on.
One day a train stopped in Langtry. From a special car came a
passenger who asked for Roy Bean. "Why miss," the station agent
said, "Roy died only last week.
"Oh-h-h-h!" cried the passenger, in sudden tears. "I did so want
to meet the man who wrote such sweet letters and named his town
for me."
