The Ball at Big Springs and Calico Jakes Dare
In Abilene cowboys of the X outfit plan a Big Springs ball prank. Calico Jake bets, robs a saloon, spends at Panhandle taverns, then returns with Stell the dancer to attend the Big Springs ball. After night revelry the crew heads home, hinting at a future plan in a week. The Doc courts Stell, Calico courts danger, and Stella admires Calico yet resists the doctor. The tale blends western bravado with flirtation and hints at a looming event near Martin.
