CHAPTER wv

A month had passed and Billy Win
go, now far south Of Golden Bar,
knew that his quest was nearly end
ed. In the past four weeks, Billy
had grown a presentabie beard, had
met up with Johnny Dawson, a friend
of his youth, had three times crossed
the trail of Dan Slike. His latest
information was that Slike and Jack
Murray were inseparable.
Finally, the morning came when
Billy and Dawson believed they had
Slike in their grasp. They could
hear his rife as they gazed down
from the hill on a scene that mad
many counterparts in the West.
A quarter-mile out from the base
of the hill was a tiny Ere, beyond
which lay hog-tied calf. Beyond
the calf a man sprawled behind tie
body of pony. He was aiming a
rifle at another man ensconced be
low a cutbank bordering small
creek. This second man Mas not

beat her almost senseless, too, she
said"
Billy Wingo looked up at the stars.
His lips moved But no sound is
sued. After moment he said, in
an oddly dead tone of voice, How
did Slike escape"
'Fas as anybody can tell, he made
him key somehow and unlocked
the Jail door and walked out. Any
way, Riley Tyler found the door

ney lost a horse and saddle"
IF there was any kind of trail
its queer they didn't run up on Slike
at HazePs."
That's the funny part of it. The
trail led in the opposite direction
toward Jacksboro. The posse fol-
lowed ft~clear to the West Fork of
the Wagonjack, where they lost it
on the rocky ground on the other
side"
DO you know somethin', Guerilla?
1t wouldn't surprise me a whole lot
to find out the district attorney his
own self made that trail to the
Wagonjack. guess I'd better go
see the district attorney"
Guerilla Melody chuckled as one
does at pleasantly.
Il mean it," pronounced Billy.
He needs iii straight talk, and
he's going to get it prompt and soon.
Luckily he leaves his window partly
open at night"
The district attorney, lying on the
broad of his back in bed, suddenly
snored his way into a nightmare.
He dreamed that he was in the
woods, and that ninety-foot pine
had fallen upon his chest.
The something on his chest spoke
in carefully restrained whisper,
Keep very quiet"
The district attorney would have
shivered had he been able to move
that much. He knew that voice. 1t
belonged to Billy Wingo.
Il hear you arrested Miss Walton. .
"F-er-had to-" explained the
district attorney.

Comparison is
the Fairest Test

Set it side by side with any car,
irrespective of price and Judge.
That's the way to buy a car. See
what each has to offer at its price
before you make up your mind.
It's the only way to be sure you're
getting just what you want-and
it surely is the only way to appre-
ciate how much you get in this
seven-passenger Studebaker at its
price of $l765.
And it's a test that Studebaker
is eager to have you make. For

Aaln street, small spring dubbed
to life amid rocks.
On the night of the first of April
Guerilla reached the spring at eleven
O'Clock.

I've been waiting here since nine

You talk much louder, Bill,'' said
Guerilla calmly, ..and you'll wait

Il saw them,'' said Billy plaeidly.
And Tip amt the only only
cashed. Rafe Tuckleton passed out
last night
Howl"
Throat cut, head cut, and three
knife cuts in his heart. Hazel
Walton is in Jail charged with the
job"
Billy Wingo stiffened where he sat
Hazel Walton in Jail! For an instant
he couldn't realize it.
What evidence is there against
Hazel Billy cut in sharply.
In the first place, there's the knife
that killed Rafe," said Guerilla, seat
ing himself beside his friend in the
shadow of the rock. Butcher knife
with T. w on the handle that Hazel
admitted was hers when they showed
it to her. But she said Dan Slike
had taken the knife--stuck it in his
boot when he left. Then there was
Rates. own gun which Hazel had ~
ing on her kitchen table, showing he'd
been there. She admitted that, too,
but said he'd attacked her, and she'd
managed to get hold of his gun after
the clock fell on him, and drive him
out"
rs that all'' asked Billy
"Lemme get my breath" Guerilla
begged Indignantly. mo, it amt
all. The district attorney says those
supplies were bought for you and
they were taken by you. Hazels
ridin' horse, the one usedAo be her
uncle's, that's gone, too-with you"
n IF Rale thinks | was at Hazel's
it's reasonable to assume / might
have had a/hand in KILN Rafe my
own self. That goes double for Dan
Slike, Seeing he had the knife last
Its reasonable all right enough,
but then you and Dan Slike amt
noways available, and Hazel is right
handy"
But how did Slike get hold of the
butcher knife, that's what want 10
know He didn't have it on him
when arrested him last January"
"That's the damndest part of the
whole deal, Bill. Hazel says Dan
Slike came to her place before Rafe
did, and it was him took the sup
plies and her horse and her hat and
