CHAPTER Nv.
Fret Blood at caIabasaa.

Nothing more than De SPANS an
nOuncement that he would sustain his
Safeguards was necessary to arouse
violent resentment at Calabasas and
among the Morgan following. The
grievance against Elpaso was made
general one along the line. His stage
was singled out and ridden at times
both by Sandusky and Logan--the
really dangerous men of the Spanish
sinks-and by Gale Morgan and Sas-
soon to stir up trouble.
All Calabasas knew that Elpaso. if
he had to, would fight, and that the &C.
centric guard was not actually to be
cornered with impunity. Even Logan,
who, like Sandusky, was known to be
without fear and without mercy, felt
at least respect for Elpaso's short
ened shotgun, and stopped this side
actual hostilities with him. Sassoon.
however, nourished a particular griev-
ance against the meditative guard, and
his was one not tempered either by
prudence or calculation. His chance
came one night when Elpaso had UNI
wisely allowed himself to be drawn
into a card game at Calabasas inn. Ell.
pas0 was VIGOROUSLY stickler for q
square deal at cards. A dispute found
him without friend in the room. Sas.
soon reached for him with a knife.
McAlpin was the first to get the
news at the barn. He gave first aid tc
the helpless guard, and, without dream
ing he could be got to a surgeon alive
rushed him in light wagon to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat, where it waJ
said that he must have more lives than

porarily into hiding. Elpaso, in the
end, justified his old reputation by
making a recovery-halting1y, it is
true, and with Lerilous intervals oil
sinking, but recovery.
1t was while he still lay in the hos
pital and hope was very low that Dc
Spain and Lefever rode, one hot marn
ing, into Calabasas and were told by
McAlpin that Sassoon had been seer
within five minutes at the inn. To LIE
fever the news was like a bubblins
spring to thirsty man. His face
beamed, he frightened his belt, shool
out his gun and looked with benevo
lent interest on De Spain, who stood
bordering. eff you will stay right here

will go over and get Sassoon."
The chief safeguard, Bob Scott
the Indian, was in the barn. He smiled
at Lefever's enthusiasm. "Sassoon,'
said he, sis slippery"
"You'd better let us go along ant
see you do It," suggested De Spain
who with the business in hand grew
| thoughtful.
"Gentlemen, / thank you" protested
Lefevcr, raising one hand in depreca
ton, the other resting lightly on hi,

reputation to maintain along the sinks
Don't lie. us make it a posse for Sas

and he rode away alone.

He spurred ahead fast enough to over
hear a request she was making Of Nc
Alpin to mail letter for her. She
also asked McAlpin, just as De Spain
drew up, whether the down stage had
passed. McAlpin told her 1t had. De
Spain, touching his hat. spoke: u am
going right up to Sleepy Cat. I'll mail
your letter IL you WISH"
She looked at him in some surprise,
and then glanced toward Lefever, who
now rode up. De Spain was holding
out his hand for the letter. His eyes
met Mans, and each felt the moment
was a sort Of challenge. De Spain, a
little self-conscious under her inspec-
ton, was aware only Of her rather
fearless eyes and the dark hair under
her fawn cowboy hat.
"Thank you,' she responded evenly.
eff the stage is gote will hold it to
add something" So saying, she tucked
the letter inside her blouse and spoke
to her pony, which turned leisurely
down the road.
"I'm trying to get acquainted with
your country today" returned De
Spain, managing with his knee to keep
his own horse moving alongside Nan
as she edged away.
Nan, without speaking, ruthlessfy
widened the distance between the two
De Spain unobtrusively spurred his
steed to greater activity. "You must
have great deal of game around you
Do you hunt?" he asked.
He knew she was famed as hunt
ress, but he could make no Roadway
whatever against her studied reserve
and when at length she excused her
self and turned her pony from the
Sleepy Cat road into the Morgan gar
trail, De Spain had been defeated In
every attempt to arouse the slightest
interest in anything he had said. But
watching with regret, at the parting
the trim lines Of her figure as she
dashed away on the desert trail, seated
as IL part of her spirited horse, he
felt only fast-riSing resolution to at
tempt again to break through her
stubborn reticence and know her bet
ter.

catch his eyes with your eyes. He
seemed now to regard De Spain keen
ly, as the latter, still attending to Nor
gan's statement, replied: "Elpaso tells
pretty straight story"
''Elpaso couldn't tell a straight
story if he tried" interjected Sassoon
II have the statement Of three other
passengers; they confirm Elpaso. Ac-
cording to them, Sassoon--" De Spain
looked straight at the accused, twas
drunk and abusive, and kept trying to-
put some of the other passengers or.
Finally he put his feet in the lap Of
Pumperwasser, our tank and windmill
man, and Pumperwasser hit him."
Morgan, stepping back from the bar.
waved his hand with an air Of finality
toward his inoffensive companion:
Here is Sassoon, right here-he can
tell the whole story"
"Those fellows were miners" mutt
tered Sassoon. His utterance was
broken, but he spoke fast. They'll
side with the guards every time
against cattleman."
"Sassoon," interposed Morgan bel
ligerently, sis man whose word can
always be depended on"
"To convey his meaning" interviewed
Lefever graphically. "Of course, I
know" he asserted, earnest to the
point of vehemence. Everyone in
Calabasas has the highest respect for
Sassoon. That is understood. and"
he added with as much impressiveness
as If he were talking sense, everybody
In Calabasas would be sorry to see Sas-
soon put off a stage. But Sassoon is
off: that is the situation. We are sorry.
If it occurs again"
"What do you mean?' Numbered
Morgan, resenting the interference.
"De Spain is the manager, isn't he?
What we want to know is, what you
are going to do about it?" he demand
ed, addressing De Spain again.
"There is nothing more to be done, 7
returned De Spain composedly. 'pve
already told Elpaso If Sassoon starts
another fight on stage to put him off
again."
Morgan's fist came down on the bar.
'Look here, De Spain! You come from
Medicine Bend, don't you? Well, you
can't bully Music Mountain men--un-
derstand that 49, tfs, .,lsS
uApr +;y,o 1,o,, have n ,oo1 ,rrs own =, ~,
Morgan, I'll be glad to consider it,"
said De Spain. 'When one of your
men is drunk and quarrelsome he will
be put off like any other disturber.
That we can't avoid. Public stages
can't be run any other way"
"All right" retorted Morgan. IF
you take that tack for your new man
agement, Wen see how you get along
running stages down In this country"
'We will run them peaceably, just as
long as we can," smiled De Spain. "We
will ct on with everybody that gives
us a chance"
Morgan pointed fingef at him. Il
give you chance, De Spain, right now.
Will you discharge Elpaso?"
"No."
Morgan almost caught his breath at
the refusal. But De Spain could be
extremely blunt, and in the parting
shots between the two he gave NO
ground.
"Jeffries put me here to stop this
kind of rowdyism on the stages" he
said to Lefever on their way back to
