CHAPTER XVII

Ii was a surprise to Dave to dis
cover on setting out for the scene
of the hold-up that the horse
Steve had got for him was his own
old favorite Chiquito The pinto
knew him. He tested this by put
ting him through some of his old
tricks. ne nuzzled his silky nose
against the coat of his master just
as in the days of old
Crawford searched over the
ground. Just like | thought, Dave.
The posse has been here and stomped
out any tracks. No way of tellin
which Of all these footprints belonged
to them Likely none of 'em."
They made a wide circle to try to
pick up the trail wanted, and again
d still larger one.
The trailers scanned closely the
edge of the irrigation ditch.
Dave pulled up. He went down
on his knees and studied the ground,
then jumped down into the ditch
and examined the bank.
Here's where they got out" he
announced.
The old cattleman examined the
side Of the canal. The clay showed
where a sharp hoof had reached for
4 footing, missed, and paved down
the bank. Higher up was the faint
mark Of a shoe on the loose rubble
at the edge.
q Looks like" he assented.
8 The trail led through the canon,
oyer a divide beyond, and down into
il small grassy valley.
ss A log cabin souatted on the slope
One had To be almost upon it before
II could be seen. It's back door

make a corral. -
4, The cattleman and the cow
Ialncher looked at each other with
ont verbal comment. This was the
haunt Of rustlers.
Horses were drowning sleepily in
the corral Dave slid from the sad
die and spoke to Crawford in a low
Voice.
asT'm going down to have look al
those horses" he said, unfastening
his rope from the tientos.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-02-07

Dave walked down the steep hill
side, and dropped into the corral.
A man came to the back door of
The cabin and stretched in long and
luxuriant yawn, Carelessly and
casually his eyes wandered over the
corral For a moment he stood
frozen, his arms still flung wide
From behind him came Crawford's
voice, cool and ironic. Much
obliged, Shorty Leave em right
jup and save trouble"
I The squat cowpuncher's eyes
found there the owner of the D Bar
Lazy r. 'Wha'dya want?" he
growled sullenly
J ''You-just now Dave, step for
ward and get his six-shooter Keep
him between you and the house. If
anything happens to you I'm goin'
to kill him right now
Sanders took the mans gun and
ran his hand over his thick body to
make sure he had no concealed wea-
pom. I'm going to back away. You
fcome after me, step by stey, so close
l could touch you with the gun"
ordered Dave.
The man followed him as directed,
his hands still in the air. His cap
tor kept him in a line between him
and the house door Crawford rode
down to join them.
You live here, shorty?" asked
Crawford CURLY.
/ Yes. The answer was sulky and
reluctant.
/ "Alone?"
Yes"
Crawford turned to Sanders.
What about the horse you looked at,
Dave?"
Same one we've been trailing,
The one with the broken shoe"
THAT yore horse, Shortly"
/ "Maybeso. Maybe no"
+ You've been hayin' company here
lately" Crawford went on. who's
yore guast?"
( fYou seem to be right now. You
and yore friend the convict" sneered
the snort cowpuncher.
| Don't use that word again
Shorty advised the fanchman in
a voice gently ominous
! why not? True, amt it? Doesn't
deny it none,g does he?''
I Before he could answer Dave
spoke.
MAN coming up from the creek, =
Crawford took crisp command
Back iii that corner, Shorty. Dave
/, you stand back, too. Cover him soon
as he shows up"
Dave nodded.
A man stood in the doorway, big,

Of sagging flesh. His breath came in
waeezy puffs.

"Goddlemighty!" he gasped. Don't
shoot! II give up"
He was carrying bucket of water.
1t dropped from his nerveless fingers
and split over the floor.
Like bullet out of a gun Craw
ford shot a question at him. Where
have you hidden the money you got
from the stage?"
The loose mouth of the convict
opened. why, we-I-we"
Keep yore trap shut, you durn
fool ordered Shorty.
Crawford jabbed his rifle into the
ribs of the rustler Yours. too,
Shorty.
But the damage had been done.
Millers flabbv will had been broken
by a stronger one.
Shorty laughed hardly and spoke
again. Third degree stuff. eh?"
Miller wasn't in that hold-up any
more'n L"
Let Miller do his own talkin',
Shorty. he don't need any lead
from you"
Dave drew his chief aside, still
keeping yigilant eye on the pris-
oners. We've got to play our hand
different. Shorty is game. He can't
b bluffed. But Miller can. found
out years ago he squeals at physical
pain. Wen start for home. After
Il while Wen give Shorty a chance
to make getaway Then Wen turn

An right, Dave. You run it. III
back yore play" his friend said.
They took the back trail across the
valley to the divide. 1t was here,
they gave Shorty his chance of
escape. Miller was leading the wav
up the trail, with Crawford, SHORTY
and Dave in the order named. Dave
rode forward to confer with the
owner of the d Bar Lazy r. For
three seconds his back was turned
to tne squat c0wpuncher.
Shorty whirled his horse and flInp
If wildly down the preeipitous slope.
Sanders after a short chase gave up
the pursuit. He rode back to the
party on the summit.
Crawford glanced around at the
heavy chaparral. How about off
here bit Dave?"
The younger man agreed. II,
turned to Miller. "Wert going TO
hang you,' he said. quietly.
The pasty color of the fat man
ebbed till his face seemed entirely
bloodless. "My Cod" You wouldn't
do thatn' he moaned.'
Underneath rather scrubbv ce-
dal' Dave drew up. He glanced it
over critically. Think it'll do?" he
asked Crawford in voice the
prisoner could just hear.
Yep That big limb'll hold him .
the old cattleman answered in the
same low voice. Better let him
stay right on the horse, then wen
lead it out from under him."
