answered; "but you hev', an 1 reckon

thought we'd caught on"
"Oh, yes, l did; you fiatter your

pigeons up the gulch yesterday, and
more than ten days ago Moore and
Edison made a trip into my tunnel
while happened ito be away; they
forgot to hide their trail. I knew
what you were up to, and you can all

Hell be here"
"Oh, will he? Well, he's h of
while coming. You wired him a
month ago, and yer've written him
twice since. oh, I've got the cases on
you all right, Westcott. 1 know you
haven't got cent left to go on with,
and nowhere to get any except
through him." He laughed. "Ain't
that right? Well, then, yer chances
look mighty slim ter me just at pres
ent, op-timer. However, there's no
fight on yet; will yer behave yerself,
an let this man Beaton alone if
hand yer back yer gun?'
"There is no choice left me-"
"Sure; that's sensible enough; give
it to him, Moore"
He broke the chamber, shaking the
cartridges out into his palm; then
handed the emptied weapon over to
Westcott. His manner was purposely
insulting, but the latter stood with lips
firmly set, realizing his position.
''Now, then, go on over thar an sit
down." continued Lacy. Maybe if
yer wait long enough, that partner o.
yours might blow in. Come on, boys,
let's liquor. Big Jim Westcott has his
claws cut, and it's Beaton's turn to
spend little"
Westcott sat quietly in the chair as
they fled out; then took the pipe from
his pocket and filed it slowly. He
realized his defeat, his helplessness,
but his mind was already busy with
the future.
