He Made Stevens as Comfortable as
among
Possible,

Bland fer years. An | haven't any

a regular town, l might say. Shore
there's some gamblin' an gun-fightin'
gOin' on in BANDS camp all the time.
Bland has killed some twenty men, an
thet's not countin greasers."
Here Stevens took another drink,
and then rested for a while.
'Tcu amt likely to get on With
Bland" he resumed presently. you're
too strappin' big an goodIookin' to
please the chief. Fer he's got women
in his camp. Then he'd be jealous Of
| your possibilities with Il gun. Shore
I reckon he'd be careful, though.
| BANDS no fool, an he loves his hide.
reckon any Of the other gangs would
be better for you when you amt goin'
| it alone"
Apparently that exhausted the fund
Of information and advice Stevens had
been eager to impart. He lapscd into
silence and lay with closed eyes.
Meanwhile the sun rose warm; the
breeze waved the mosquitoes; the birds
came down to splash in the shallow
stream; Duane dozed in a comfortable
seat. By and by something reused
him. Stevens was once more talking
but with a changed tone.
"Feller's name-was Brown" he
rambIed. ave fell Out-over a boss I
stole from HMM Huntsville. He
stole it fust Browns one of them
sneaks-afraid of the open-he steals
an pretends to be honest. Say, Buck,
mebbe you'll meet Brown some day
You an me are pards now"
"T'1 remember, If I ever meet him."
said Duane.
That seemed to satisfy the outlaw.
Presently he tried to lift his head. but
had not the strength. A strange shade
was creeping across the bronzed,
rough face
My feet are pretty heavy. Shore
you got my boots OFF,"
Duane held them up, but was not
certain that Stevens could see them.
The outlaw closed his eyes again and
muttered incoherentIy. Then he fell
asleep. Toward shutdown Stevens
awOke, and his eyes seemed clearer.
Duane went to get some fresh water,
thinking his comrade would surely
want some. When he returned Stevens
made no sign that he wanted anything.
There was something bright about him,
and suddenly Duane realized what it
meant.
'Pard, you-stick-to me'' the out
law whispered.
Duane caught hint of gladness
in the voice; he traced a faint surprise
in the haggard face. Stevens seemed
like little child
Duane buried him in a shallow ar
royo and heaped up pile of stones
to mark the grave That done, he
saddled his comrades horse, hung the
weapons over the pommel, and, mount
ing his own steed, he rode down the
trail in the gathering twilight.
