The man In the sombrero and shirt

Duck, Bartl' he shouted, whipping
weapon from its convenient shelf
under the tables edge. But Judson,
trained to the swift handling of many
mechunsms in the moment OF respite
before Il wreck or derailment, was
ready for him.
"Bart's afraid he can't duck without
dying" he said grimly. screening him

others, in the same unhastng tone:
"Some of you fellows just quiet Sam

That ended 1t. so far as resistance
was concerned. Judson backed quick

his prisoner backward with him, and
a moment later Angels was properly
electrified by the sight of Rufford, the
Red desert terror, marching sullenly
down to the Crows Nest, with fiery
headed little man at his elbow, the
little man swinging the weapon which
had been made to simulate the cold

pressed it into Rufford's back at the

McCloskey relapsed into his swing
chair.
you said you thought you recog-
nized the other man by his voice. 1t
sounds like drunken pipe dream, the
whole of it. But who did you think
1t WASP"
Judson rose up, jerked his thumb
toward the door of the superintend-
ent's business office and said, "Mac. If
the whisky didn't fake the whole bust
ness for me the man who was num-
bling with Bart Rufford was Hal

"Hallock" said McCloskey. "And

what that means"
What more McClOskey said was said
to an otherwise empty room. Judson
had opened the door and closed it and
was gone.

afterward, those who could recall the
details and piece them together traced
