The Rat turned. "Come

"Stop!" The easy, good
humored tone was gone from
Brett's voice. Don't be a
bigger fool than God made
you, Pierce! D'you think
I'm going away from here
without my son" He ad-
vanced toward them, threat
eningly, and the boy cried
out in fear: Alexander,
come here to mel"
Alex Brett looked up at
the Rats face; then he
squared his little shoulders.
II don't have to do what
you say!' he defied his
father. ''I won't go with
you. You can't make me! I
hate you!' The little face
blazed with fury; the small
fists were clenched.
Brett's face paled.
The Rat smiled. Well,
Alexanderf" he said.
Brett swore. "Ill wipe

that smile off your face!"
he shouted, and he whipped
his gun from his pocket.
"You start walking back
where you came from,
Pierce, or I'll shoot you full
Of holes!"
Again, as on the day he
scorned the danger in the
muzzle of the kidnaper's gun,
the Rat sprang forward. The
shot from Brett's revolver
went skyward as the, Rats
fingers twisted the white
wrist. The gun fell to the
ground.
The boy stood, staring, as
the two men grappled. The
Rat was older than Brett;
thin, white-haired, he ap-
peared the more fragile, yet
his frailness was deceptive.
Faces set grimly, muscles
swelling, the two old men
fought on the Nevada desert
beneath the hot sun-and
behind the battle rose a
background of hate, long
nursed, bitter.
Suddenly the child began
to scream.
Blood was streaming
The Washington times., 1929-03-18

at the child's enthusiasm,
he swung him to his shoul-
der, stepped into the crisp
morning air.
The Rat was fully consci-
GUS of the dangers that
might touch this child
kicking horses or steers,
swift-moying snakes, and
more deadly than any of
these, Alexander w. Brett.
The Rat was taking no
chances. He followed the
boy about like a shadow,
his blue eyes tender and
watchful.
"Say, there's a car parked
out yonder-'way out" one
of the cowboys said. Know
anything about itf"
No one knew, and a. hur-
ried inspection of the car
gave no clue. Nevada
license plates, and no pa
pers of any sort in the
pockets.
Probably belongs to
some dude" Pete yawned.
"They don t care what they
do with their property"
The Rat was silent, his
eyes on his charge.
You promised | could
shoot jack-rabbits todayl"
Alex reminded him, after
breakfast.
The Rat nodded. He had
promised-and there was no
reason to let a mysterious
car get on his nerves. Un-
doubtedly it belonged to one
of the ranch guests. So
he started with the boy for
the desert. Once on the
flat, they dismounted. The
Rat showed the boy Some
strange tracks in the dry
dirt-rabbit tracks.
"D'you know why they
call 'em jack-rabbits, son?"
he asked. Ever noticed
their ears
The boy nodded, looking
up adoringly into the gentle
face. Was there anything
this strange companion of
his didn't knowg
"It's because their ears
are long and pointed like
the ears Of a jackass.
They"
The Rats hand dropped
to his hip, and he swore
softly. He had forgotten
his revolver, and his rifle
hung in the saddle scab-
bard.
Alexander Brett, smiling
suavely, was before them.
The boy edged sideways,
close to the Rat, and felt
for his hand, looking up at
his father suspiciously.
"I'll take the boy,
Pierce, = Brett said, rather
pleasantly.
The Desert Rat gIared.
"No, you won'tl" he re-
torted.
Brett was in high good
humor. The nearest cow

easily reached.
"Pierce, you'll never
learnt" he said, shaking his
head. Cant you see it's
useless to defy me?"
Alex was tugging at the
Rats trouser leg. Let's
go back!" he whispered.
His father looked at him.

in to Reno and buy you

Nothing. The child
hung close to his friend.

bantering, condescending.
"Think hard, my boyI A

a cowboy outfit"
Alex shook his head.
"Don't want nothin !" he
repeated, passionately.

down the Rats face from a
cut on his temple; his blue
eyes cleaned wildly through
the red. Like a fury, the
boy rushed toward the
struggling men, kicking des-
perately at his fathers legs,
pummelling him with his
small fists.
Brett's foot, in a heavy
boot, swung out and knocked
the child backward, sent
him tumbling into a clump
of sage-brush, where he sat,
his cries rising higher and
higher with every breath.
From the ranch-house,
where someone, attracted by
the shot, had seen the fight,
men were flinging them
selves on horses, racing
madly out across the flat
stretch.
Damn .you!" The Rat
screamed. His wiry arm was
suddenly freed; smashed
downward, and the fist
caught Brett squarely. He
lost his balance, fell, pulling
the Rat with him.
