a boy bout 10 or 20, white headed, blue eyes,
a good-lookin' boy? Great hand at poker. Sure
can ride. Must have blown in here about a
month ago If he come at ALL"
Jensen snapped out of assumed indifference
like spring that is pulled too taut. But you'd
never have known it. Ralph They meant
Ralph!
"Nope. Amt been here What's he wanted
for?"
"Bootleggn'. Been gettin' stuff over the
line and totin' 1t up Panhandle way by auto.
Married, too. the damn fool. We got the dope
from his wife. Give her the third degree.
Women can't keep a secrst."
We'll, he amt here" said Jensen. IF I
meet up with any one that covers them points
you mentioned I'll sure let you know"
In two days the outfit was back again.
Christmas was coming and the men were in
holiday spirits. The boy Ralph rode at the
head OF the herd. He was gay and dirty. He
was singing a cowboy song.
For we all love our cowboy. Although
he done wrong" The long horned cattle and
thsir blatting calves came trooping along with
the cowboys riding to left and right. Ralph
was the gayest, the happiest of the lot. Jensen
was conscious of something like pride of him
swelling his heart. The boy sure had nerve.
He was game. You'd never think he was up
against the sheriff.
TT wasn't until just before turning-in time
CLlaC JENSEN mao cnance OF q word with
him alone. He found him down under the
windmill when Ralph went to wash up The
boy was stripped to the waist and his smooth
shoulder and chest muscles were white in the
cold starlight. good-lookin' boy, the sheriff
had said. Yes. he sure was that! Again that
swelling of pride at Jensen's heart
There's been three Oh your friends lookin'
for you. Buddy" he said
The boy stopped throwing the icy water over
him from the tin dipper. Then he laughed.
Sure didn't know I had that many! Who
was they?"
THE sheriff and two revenue officers. Thought
they was lookin' for me at first, though amt
committed no bad crimes jest lately. But they
said it was bootegger they wanted and that
let me out. Booteggin's about the only thing
amt done or been accused of doin'. Then
they went OH to say they wanted a boy bout
20, white-headed boy that sure knew how 70
ride and play poker. They give his name as
Tom Runyon. but reckon they meant you,
Buddy"
The boy thought minute, shining there in

out Of him. After Is years he had come back
It was q risk but Texas called him. So he
came back as Jensen. the hard-boiled.
He found out about Molly long time be-
fore. Shed married. Panhandle man he'd
met in Mexico City had told him. Well, that
was all right, too. He'd wanted her to think
he was dead. Besides he'd done things in
Mexico that separated them worse than dying
No one had known they were married anyway,
boy and girl folly. kept secret until they could
live openly together. few stolen meetings
that was all there had been to their marriage
Dreams now. Almost forgotten.
Then the money had been missed. Jensen
had carried the letter in which it had been
sent from the post Office to the ranch owner
for whom he'd been working. 1t was q clear
case against him. Even Jensen himself could
not think of any one who would have had
chance at it. But still, If he hadn't been so
soft, If he hadn't quit, If he'd had the CUTS
to stand trial. perhaps the truth would have
come out. Oh, welll More likely he would
have rotted in jail for it. He was glad he'd
done as he did AS for Molly he hadn't hurt
her any.
Life had been bitter In spots. but he'd
gotten a kick out of it. More than he would
have got out of being married to Molly, he
reckoned. Still he remembered her as she
was at IT. blond and blue-eyed and tender
Tipped It was that that had got him in the
night Ralph's mouth in the moonlight had
somehow reminded him of Molly's. Looking
at Ralph's empty bunk now it came back to
him.
COUNDS of horses outside. Mems voices.
~ Jensen went to the door. Three riders out
there seen in the dim light that came through
the ranch house doorway the sheriff and two
revenue officers.
"We're lookin' for Tom Runyon," said the
sheriff. He here?"
Jensen started. He hadn't heard his name
spoken in a long, long time. Had they found
out about him? After 20 years was he going
to jail?
He stuck his hands in his belt because they
trembled, and leaned against the doorjamb-a
tall. muscular, Indifferent figure.
Nope"
"Ain't got nobody workin for you by that
name?"
HELL no."
Have had, amt you?"
Nope. Amt never heard the name before"
The men looked at each other. Damn
funnyl"
They began again. "Ain't seen anything of

Greece, then evidently decided there wasn't
much use in lying.
II reckon they did, maybe. Tom Runyon
was my dads name and they named me after
him. Took advantage of me when was
baby. Sure don't know why they done it when
he wasn't man enough to stand by my mother
when 1 was a-comin. Gawd, but was glad to
shake that name! gutter like hint"
VENSEN'S bold, hard eyes had queer express
sion in them. Almost like the beginning Of
tears He was looking at the boys mouth, which
at this moment wasn't tender OF course he'd
been right that night in the moonlight. 1t was
like Molly's.
Maybe he didn't know what-alI he was
quittin'," said Jensen.
The boy laughed. The lips that were like
girls like Molly's, curled scornfully.
HE sure knew he was quittin' my mother
Buddy said Jensen, for he had to be sure,
what was your mothers name?"
Molly said the boy briefly. .And she
was good woman. My stepdad seen that
anyway and treated her accordin'. Well, she's
dead now. 1t don't make no difference to her
any more"
Molly dead! Well, that settled things No
use hoping now
Reckon you might have taken your STEP
dads name If you didn't like your old MANS"
said JenSen-said 1t rather wiStfully
He wanted me to and I'd have liked it.
But my mother wouldn't let me. Seems like
she always liked my dad better than she did
the Others spite of everything
Some women is like that" said Jensen
FAITHFUL" And there was something like
triumph in his voice. Molly hadn't forgotten.
And some men is like my father-quitters!"
