CHAPTER XIV.
The Sunday Murder.

Banks posse. leaving Medicine Bend
before daybreak, headed northwest.
Their instructions were explicit: To
watch the trails from the Goose river
country and through the Mission
mountains. and intercept everybody
riding north until the posse from
Sleepy Cat or Whispering Smith
should communicate with them from
the southwest. Nine men rode in the
party that crossed the Crawling Stone
Sunday morning at sunrise with Ed
Banks.
After leaving the river the three
white-capped Saddles of the Mission
range afforded landmark for more
than 100 miles, and toward these the
party pressed steadily all day. The
southern pass of the Missions opens
on the north slope of the range into
a pretty valley known as Mission
Springs valley, and the springs are
the head-waters OF Deep creek. The
posse did not quite obey the instruc.
tions. and following natural instinct
of safety five of them, after Banks
and his three deputies had scattered,
punched again. and at dark crossed
Deep creek at some distance below the
springs. 1t was afterward known that
these five men had been seen entering
| the valley from the east at sundown
| just as four of the men they wanted
rode down South Mission pass toward
the springs. That they knew they
would soon be cut off. or must cut
their way through the line which Ed
Banks, ahead of them. was posting at
every gateway to Williams Cache, was
probably clear to them. Four men

body-to let the railroad alone. This
is my thanks. Now, I'll ask you just
one question. l haven't killed you, as
l had a perfect right to when you
pulled; l haven't broken your arm, as
l would have done if there had been
a doctor within 25 miles; and l haven't
started you for the pen-not yet. Now
| ask you one fair question only: Did
you need the money!"
Yes, l did need it."
Whispering Smith dropped the
mans wrist. Then don't say word.
If you needed the money, I'm not go
ing to send you back-not for mine"
How can man make living in
this country" asked the rancher, with
bitter oath, "unless he picks up
everything that's going?"
Pick up your gun, man! I'm not
saying anything, am IL"
But I'm damned if l can give a
double-cross to any man." added Rock
stro, STOPPING for his revolver.

is my judgment. And aren't we five
able-bodied jays, gentlemen? Five
strong-arm suckers? 1t is an inelegant
word; it is an inelegant feeling No
matter, we know a few things. There
are five good men and led horse; we
can get out of here by Goose river,
find out when we cross the railroad
how much they got, and pick them up
somewhere around the Saddle peaks
if they've gone north. That's only a
guess, and every mans guess is good
now. What do you think, all of you?"

would they go straight home? That
doesn't look reasonable, does it?"

them and pursuit, wouldn't they be

rived. He found some supper in the
kitchen, and the tired man and the
giant ate together.
Whispering Smith was too expert
enced a campaigner to complain. His
party had struck a trail so miles north
of Sleepy Cat and followed 1t to the
Missions. He knew now who he was
after, and knew that they were bottled
up in the Cache for the night. The
sheriff's men were sleeping on the
floor of the living room when Smith
came in from the kitchen. He sat
down before the fire. At intervals sobs
came from the bedroom where the
body lay, and after listening mo-
ment, Whispering Smith got stiffly up,
and, tiptoeing to still the jingle of his

CHAPTER xxiV.-Continued.

Whispering Smiths brows rose pro-
testingly, but he spoke with perfect
amiability as he raised his finger to
bring the good eye his way You
ought to change your hat when you
change your mind. l saw you driving
a bunch of horses up that canyon
few minutes ago. Now, Rockstro, do
you still drag your left leg?'
The rancher looked steadily at his
new inquisitor, but blinked like a
gopher at the sudden onslaught.
(which of you fellows is Whispering
Smith," he demanded.
THE man with the dough is Whis-
pering Smith every time" was the
answer from Smith himself. You have
about seven years to serve, Rockstro,
haven't you? Seven, l think. Now
what have / ever done to you that
you should turn a trick like this on
me? l knew you were here, and you
knew knew you were here, and l call
this a pretty country; little smooth
right around here, like the people, but
pretty. Have l ever bothered you?
Now tell me one thing-what did you
get for covering this trail? / stand
to give you two dollars for every one
you got last night for the job, If you'll
put us right on the game. Which way
did they go?"
What are you talking about?"
Get off your horse a minute" sug-
gested Smith, dismounting, "and step
over here toward the creek" The
man, afraid to refuse and unwilling to
go, walked haltingly after Smith.
what is it, Rockstro?" asked his
tormentor Don't you like this coun-
try? What do you want to go back to
the penitentiary for? Aren't you happy
here? Now tell me one thing-will you
give up the trail?"
II don't know the trail"
II believe you; we shouldn't follow
1t anyway. Were you paid last night
or this morning."

The struggle lasted only an instant

to the ground.
Now, shall / break your arm?''
asked Smith, as the man cursed and
resisted. "Or will you behave? We
are going right back and you'll have
to come with us. Well send some
