Toward the end Of the afternoon
Linda sa6dled and rode down the trail
toward Martins store. She had con.
siderable business to attend to. Among
other things, she was going to buy
thirty-thirty cartridges-all that Mar
tin had in stock. She had some hope
of securing an extra gun OF two with
shells to match. The additional space
in her pack was to be fllled with pro-
visions.
For she was faced with the unpleas-
ant fact that her larder was nearly
empty. The jerked venison was al
most gone: only a little -four and a
few canned things remained. She had
space for only small supplies on the
horses back, and there would be no
luxuries among them. Their fare had
been plain up to this time: but from
now on It was to consist OF only such
things as were absolutely necessary to
sustain life.
She rode unarmed. Without inform
ing him Of the fact. the rife had been
left for Bruce. She did not expect
for herself q ride shot from ambush
for the simple reason that Simon had
hidden otherwise-And Bruce might be
attacked at any moment.
She was dreaming dreams, that day.
