Chapter Xxx
Airline Meets Her Match

Ozark Briskod, like his sister,
Allegheny, was studying hard and
learning rapidly, but he had
adopted an educational plan, a
curriculum, so to speak, far diff
ferent from hers.
His education was progressing
apace, for love is the greatest of
educators, and Buddy was in love
-madly, extrayagantly in lovh.
Love it was that accounted for his
presence in Dallas, and his oc-
cupancy of the Governors suite
at the Ajax.
In spite of the fact that the
train from Wichita Falls was be.
hind time, one morning shortly
after Buddy's arrival, he was still
abed when Calvin Gray arrived
at the hotel. Instead of disturbing
the slumbers of youth, Gray went
directly to the detective who had
telegraphed him and for half an
hour or more the two talked.
Later, during the course of a
leisurely bath and shave, the new
arrival pondered the information
he had received. Here was a prob
lem. Having dressed himself, he
strolled around to Coverly's place
of business and interviewed the
jeweler.
"Sure! he has bought quite a
bit of stuff in the last few days, F"
Coverly told him. "He was in only
yesterday and ordered a fine piece
made up. He wanted a ruby heart
pierced with a diamond ARROW,
but l got him off that and onto a
blue Brazilian solitaire. We'Ie
mounting it in a platinum lady's
ring"
What is the price?"
"Forty-five hundred, and the
value is there"
Hold the ring, He may change
his mind"
q say" Coverly was in dismay.
"Are you going to spoil the best
sale I've made in two weeks?"
ooh, I'll take it off your hands
if he doesn't. Make some. excuse
not to deliver it until | say the
word" Eol4 So
Gray knocked several times at
the Governors suite before a
sleepy response, a succession of
yawns and mutterings, told him
that he had been heard. The door
opened finally and the pride of
the Briskow family, his eyes all
but swelled shut, his muscular
figure splendidly arrayed in fu-
turistic. silken pajamas, NUM-
bled:
whats eatin' you, any-?"
The. eyes opened wider, Buddy's
face broke into slow smile.
why, Mr.. Grayw He extended a
palm, bit dry and feverish, and
drew his caller inside. Dawg-
gone! I'm glad to see you"
Buddy led the way into his bed
room, piled his pillows together
and gingerly lowered himself upon
them. He showed his strong white
teeth in a wide grin and winked
meaningly. I'll be all right direct
ly. It's this here sim-sympathetic
booze they talk about. Have a
drink, Mr.. Gray? There's a coupla
bottles of real liquor in the closet
NOT this tigers milk you get"
The caller declined the invita-

NOW GO ON WITH STORY

There followed a moment of
silence. Mallow and Stoner ex-
changed glances. what percen-
tage of that goes - the former
finally inquired.
Zone hundred"
80? Then it's lucky Nelson
didn't fall. But there's no harm
done-nobody's hurt"
1T is lucky, indeed-for me.
I'd have felt bound to make good
his loss, if you had hooked him.
l presume l ought to expose this
swindle."
Expose Jackson?" stoner, in
quired, quickly. When Gray nod
ded, there was another brief sill
ence before the speaker ventured
to say: Il know this bird Nelson,
and, take it from me-. you're Civ
ing him the best of it. If l hadn't
known him as we'll as / do,
wouldn't of put in with you to
break him. Now about this Jack
son; you can land him, I s'pose,
if you try but it would be lower
than a frogs foot, after him
playing square with you"
What do you mean by that?''
III could have stung you,
easy couldn't he? You surged out
here on purpose to buy the lease
but he hid out all afternoon to
avoid you"
''Um-m! Suppose we leave it
for the present"
MalloW, who had remained sill
ent during his friends argument,
greeted this suggestion with re-
lief. He was glad to change the
subject. "GoodW he cried, heart
lily. I'D about as soon face old
Tom Parker, like that fellow in
the restaurant did, as to face
Jackson. He'd sink a stillson in
my head, sure, if"
Parker? Was that old man
Miss Parker's father?"
Certainly! What 'dyou think
allied that gunman? D'you think
he got the flour something all of
sudden? There amt anybody
left tough enough to banker for
Toms scalp. He's pinned rose
on all of those old-timers, and he's
deadly poison to the new crop. :"
For the first time Calvin Gray
understood clearly the reason for
the unexpectedly outcome of that
encounter in the cafe. No wonder
the strangers trigger finger had
been paralyzed. Barbara's father,
indeed! How stupid of him not to
guess.
I must find him, quickly" Gray
declared. perhaps he'll ride back
to town with u.s."
1t was not a difficult task to
locate the veteran officer, and
Tom was delighted at the chance
to ride home with his new ac-
quaintance.
A unique and an engaging per-
son Parker proved to be; an odd
compound of gentleness and ac-
erbity, of kindness and rancor; a
quiet, guileles, stubborn, violent
old man-at-arms, who would not
be interrupted while he was eat
ing. He was both scornful ana
contemptuous of evil-doers. AN
needed killing.
Hard luck, l call it, for a bud
ding desperate to wreck a career
of promise the way that wretched
fellow did," Gray told him with
a laugh. "Out of all the men in
Texas, to pick you" .
ooh, he amt a bud! He's quite
killer"
'Indeed?"
He kills Mexicans and niggers
and folks without guns, mostly.
Low-down stuff! He's got three or
four, l believe. l never could see
why they Nelson's KEEP him."
There was brief silence. I
beg pardon?" said Gray.
Hes been on the Nelson pay
roll for a year-doing odd jobs
that wasn't fit to be done. But I
guess they got tired of him, any
how he's been hanging around
Wichita for the last two or three

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

Calvin Gray, enemy of Colo
mel Henry Nelson, arrives in
Dallas, the home of Nelson.
Gray is in love with Barbara
Parker, who buys land for the
colonel. Gray goes to look at an
oil prospect and meets Barbar's
father, Tom Parker, investi-
eating the same land. Gray
hires Mallow and two asso-
ciates to keep track of the ac-
Invites of Nelson in the oil
fields. Gray becomes f4iendIy
with the Briskow family and
Allie, the daughter, falls in
,npvP wit hhim. Bud BEiskow,
the son, runs away from school
and Gray promises the family
that he will follow and bring
Bud home.
