The sound of footsteps on the piazza
and the opening of the door drove Bud
to take refuge in an adjoining ROOM
where he could overhear all that was
happening. He closed the door as the
cowpunchers entered, with Slim al

~ UCK MkEE had not Deen 1ule
x in the days following the STAY
ing Of cole Man" Terrill. Hav-
IL ing learned that Slim and his
posse had discovered only the fact
that the murderer had ridden pacing
horse to the ford, Mckee took full ad-
vantage of this fact. In the cow
camps, the barrooms and at the rail-
road station he limited at first that a
certain person every one knew could
tell a lot more about the death OF the
old man than he cared to have known.
After a few days he began to bring
the name Of Payson into the converse
ton. His gossip became rumor and
then common report. When it became
known that Jack had paid off the
mortgage on his ranch Buck came out
with the accusation that Payson was
the murderer Finding that he was
listened to, Buck made the direct
charge that Payson had killed the sta
ton agent and with the proceeds of
the robbery was paying off his old
debts.
Gathering his own men about him
and being joined by the idle hangers
on who are to be found about every
town, Buck led his party to the ranch
on the Sweetwater to accuse Jack and
so throw off in advance any suspicious
which might attach to himself.
Fortunately Slim happened to be at
Jacks ranch at the time. When he
entered the corral he found Jacks ac-
cusers and defenders rapidly nearing
battle.
Jack was taking the charges coolly
enough, as he did not know what sup
port Mckee had manufactured to up
hold the charges he made. Slim in
formed Mckee he would listen to what
he had to say and If afterward he
thought Jack guilty he would place
him under arrest; for all concerned
it would be better to 60 into the house
The Sweetwater boys surrounded Jack
as they followed Slim into the living
room. Lining up in opposing groups
Slim stood in the center to serve as
judge and jury, with Buck and Jacl
at his right and left hand.
Inside the door Jack said: "Keep a
quiet as you can, boys. 1 don't wan
to alarm my wife. Now, what is it?'
The punchers hushed their discus
sion Of the charge and listened atter
lively to what the men most interest
ed had to say.
"Well, darn it ALL" apologized tn
sheriff to Jack, sits all darn fool bus
ness anyway. Buck here, he starte

Jack smiled sarcastically and, glan'

Polly put the broom back Of the door
and was rearranging the articles on
the table before Slim could muster up
enough courage to speak on the topic
which was always uppermost in his
mind when in her presence.
