straight at Maynard's face.
Maynard launched himself forward and hurled
the revolver to the ground. Then he caught it up
and thrusting it into his pocket went to the
teamster, back by the barbed-wire fence.
Give me your gun, he commanded quietly.
Brown relinquished his weapon as Blake came
running to the place. You think you'll win out
on this game. do you, Maynard" he cried like a
mailman. III let every horse in the kingdom

Don't be so sure you may not starve yourself -

of the situation, and he turned and walked away.

If the way you bought out of our lease,

was no theving, and this game s-then turn robber

face. Garry your gold out your back if you've

Brown was mounting his horse. I'm goin to

undergoing untold agonies with the cool scent Of
water in their nostrs and their bellies pinched in
the grip of death itself
The man lived again those terrible hours when he
himself had strained SO madly toward this well in
the desert. He suffered every agony of thirst
as he thought of the horses laboring the
terrible waste of dust and alkal pursued mercy
by the suns naked heat. His vitals wrung with
anguish the translated moaning of horse came

rose and he had peace. He made attempt

wretched as paupers, dying of famine they strained

to the trough that brimmed with water
in the silver light Then the cool, wondrous fra

him thirst again. morbidly. He clenched his hands,

riding away to enjoy his brief vacation, he left
the new-made proprietor alone in full possession.
In the morning the teamsters who watered their
stock at the trough made settlement with Maynard
and went their way, to brave the heat and dust
that would lodge upon them all day long, like un-
embodied things of prey. Maynard began to wait.
The morning passed; the heat of the sun was
intense. Not a breath of air stirring on the
desert In the afternoon there were two separate
clouds of dust on the roads, far away southwark
in the level desolation that they seemed mere blurs
on the landscape. But both were raised by tramphng
hoofs, and Maynard watched them crawl across the
desert with eyes that gttered fOrbiddingy At four
o'clock the nearest one arrived but neither Blake
nor the gold of Blake comprised the burden of the
patient animals. Contrary to the ordinary custom,
this driver watered his team and went on. His
wagons were light; he had been paid for extra
speed. ,
The second dust-c1oud centered all Maynard's
faculties. At length the wagons, two OF them,
htched one before the other, were almost upon the
station-and Blake was not in sight. Maynard's
heart sank The horses were halted before the place
A team more utterly exhausted, more nearly fam
shed for drink had arrived at the we'll Their
load was extra heavy; the heat had drunk up and
dried out their very vitality.
The driver like a figure modelled in dust, stiffiy
alighted from the nigh-wheel animal. He was
small, thn-faced man, nearly fifty years OF age.
Then up from a resting place in the foremost wagon

Ask your friend, replied the teamster. "Git
him to say it over ag'i slow and soft"
Yes, said Maynard, 1 told your driver that
own lease the well and station. The
charge for watering your horses will be two
thousand dollars head You pay the price
with just half of the ore-sacks piled on the
wagon
Blake's face distorted with sudden rage
This is robbery" he cried. You're trying to rob
mel You don't get ounce of the ore I've got on
the 1oad!"
Robbery" said Maynard. Il call it part of the
game. You've heard the price. Pull out without
watering if you can"
Yes, I will I'll go on without the waterl"
roared Blake in his wrath. Brown, get up and
start alongl"
Nope No twenty dead horses fer me" said the
teamster You and the ore and me and the car
