 Red FzinltalI.- -sayss you were one of his gang of higlvayrlen, but know II lsh true so you don't have to say word But he is determined to be ,revenSed on you for killing his brother. Ana the req mnr he's waited this long is because nc didT,,f know where you were-good req son isn't it? Tell you how he found ou -~ saa comes rom my getting civilized He's a porter at our Kansas City hotel So when he heard the men talking about how had once been Kidnapped by the 1n- diaus and wrote nearly every day to my cousin, Brick Willocl, which they thought an odd name, he guessed the rest.
 It makes my blood turn cold to think that all the time we were living quietly and happily in the cove that awful Red Kimba1l was hunting for you, meaning to ashame6 to write, but must, so yol1'n know everything. He means to have you arrested and tFier1 for his brothers mur- der-and he says he can hang you!
 And MT. Gledware is his witness. That's why Red has cEme after him. Xou Il think it strange that after his gang were about to kill Mr. Gledware in the pra1rle that he should come to ask him to act as witness against another man.. That's what MT. Gledware tpld him But Bed Eimban answered that it was ali@a bluff they had never dreamed of shooting him or his little girl.
 When No Mans Land was added to Oklahorna a pardon was offered to Red Kirnban and all his gang if they would
 
 awear to keep the peace-you see, most of then crimes had been committed where mo courts could touch them- We'll all the gang came in. But what do you tn1nkG That terrible Red Kinbau swears that you were one Of his gang, and that as you didn't come in and surrender your self the pardon doesn't apply to youi It was all could do to keep from stepping right out and telling him you were one of the most peaceable and harmless of men and that you just happened to be aFa1 vvI1e wares danger and just had to shoot Kan sas KirnbalI to saTe me and my stepfa- 4her You a highwayrnan, indeed! | could laugh at that if it didn't make me. too mad when I think about it.
 Then Mir. Gla1ware talked. He said maybe it was a bluff against him, that standing him up against the moon to be shot at. but it wasn't one he was apt to forget, and he could never be on any kind of terms with Red; besides he said, if Brick Will0cEz hadn't saved his life he'd always thought so, so wouldn't witness against him, though he had no doubt h. Belonged to Reds gang But that was nothing to him. And he couldn't under stand how He'd could have the face to come to him about anything, but was willing to pay a sum to keen all the past hushed Up, he. didn't want any 'tcorn- pIicat5onsss from being claimed a step father by Lahorna! Tine past was over. he said and Latoma had home of her own, and he was <satfsfied to be free of her-a1ld he would pay Red something to keep the past buried.
 Then Red spoke pretty. ugly, saying 1t wasn't the past he was anxious to have hur1ed put Brick sWlLock- And ne saId , that MT. GledWare was witness to the murder, whether he wanted to be not and Red was willing to confess to every thing in order to have Brick hanged
 Then AIrS CsledWare, in cold, unrnoved voice. said he must go back to the picnic. and sfA1r. Kinnbsl1'' could do as he pleased
 But that wasn't khe end Do you know says 'Afr- Kimball,' .sthak Red Feather is in town laying for your he says. MT. G1edware gave a dreadful kind of low scream. such as turned me sick to hear The rooIu was still as death for q little while. I guess they were looking at each other.
 At last Red says, pretty slow and calm Would you like to have that Indian out of the way?,' MT. GledHare didn't an swer, at least not anything could hear. but his eyes must have spoken for him. for Red went on after awhile: "Its a go. theHs IS it2 We'll thaeu take time. But in few days-maybe in a few h0urs-Ill Il deal with the chief. And want your word that after that's accomplished you II tigo with to Greer county and stay on the job till Brick Wi1lock swings
 There was a longer silence than before. My nerves all clashed in the strangest Way-Iike the shiyering of morning ice oil a poolAwhen MT G1edwaress voice jared on my ears He said, tT1ow will know ?t'
 ell" saZs Red. Kinbau roughly, how would you know ?''
 There was aRother of those awful si- 1enees. Then MT. GIedware aid, 'fWaen you bring me pin that he always carries about him I'll know that Red Feather will never trouble me again. g
 KimbaH spoke roughers than before ssYou mean it'll show you that he's q dead sun; huh?''
 .T mean what I safd,'' MT Gledware lgnapped. as if just rousing himself from l@ kind of stupor.
 ssHeiI, what kind of pin?'' That was Ex1xnbalfs question.
 Then Mfr. GIedware described the pin. E1@ said it was smooth faced, gold Ef1nned pin of onyx set with pearls. And Kfnbau said boasting1y that he would produce that pin, as he a living man. And Mir. GIedware told him if he did he d go to witness against Brick Willock. So both left the room and pretty soon, from the window, saw them going away on horseback in opposite directions.
 I mustn't hold back, this letter to add any nore-N must get off by the mail that's nearly due The moment I learn anything new I'll write again.
