III we reached the creek at the eoge OF
~ town. We stopped there to allow
our horses to drink. There was
fash of lightning OF to the west
and a roll of thunder went mumbling away into
the hills.
"a bad night to ride" said my uncle.
must have made some reply, but do not
recall doing so. At that moment, the approach
ing storm meant little or nothing to me. had
known storms before, had even ridden in a few,
but never had actually ridden with my uncle
IN pursuit Of o murderer say actually, be-
cause during the years of my childhood had
played at it 10000 times Uncounted high
waymen had made their last stand among the
caves in my fathers haymow. 1t was the only
game knew, but never lacked for inspira-
ton, for there had always been my Uncle
Everett and there deep in the heart of the
Ozarks, there were moonshine stills and muir
derers-plenty.
Many time sat on a great rock beside the
road that came into town from the hills and
watched for the coming of my Uncle Everett.
And his coming was not always pretty sight
to see. Those were bad men he brought in
from the hills, dangerous men. My uncle
brought them IN at the end of a rope-a long
rope, one end Of which was tied to his saddle
horn the other end beneath the arms of the
prisoner, who must stumble along as best he
could behind my mcle's horse. The prisoners
hands were handcuffed to the rope He was
helpless.
Those men came stumbling, cursing, foot
sore and weary. Snarling beasts they were at
the end Of that rope. But my uncle paid them
no heed. He rode with his head down, his face
shaded by the broad brim of his gray felt hat
his frail body moving easily with the motion of
his horse. In passing, he always raised hand
to wave at me. I worshipped him.
Nov, my play had turned to reality. That
rope coiled about the saddle horn caused
me to shudder. The butt of winchester rife
protruding from its leather sheath sent chill
to the ends of my fingers. For assurance, I
looked at my uncle's face.
His face slender as woman's and
the features as fine. His eyes were blue.
lock of his red hair always strayed on his fore
head His was the quietest face have ever
known.
He clucked to his horse and rode on AS
our horses struck their gait, he relaxed in his
saddle and we rode in silence, for he was not
man given to words.
Our road followed al narrow canyon until 1t
found fast hold on the mountain side and
then we began a long, tortuous climb. AS we
rode upward, the black clouds beloved across
the sky and the. twilight gave way to black
darkness. Forked lightning struck down at the

He stood there saying no sUOTd; his
Winchester Uas ready at his hip. Across
the room a man faced him. rifle ready.
His gaze had that intensity peculiar to
the hill people.

horses had stopped It was yet dark but In
the air there was the feel of dawn. The rain
had ceased. There was in the woods only the
sound of water dripping from million leaves.
'"Taint likely he's here" said my uncle, but
it's good place TO start FROM"
Then, for the FIRST time saw that our horses
were standing near the edge Of a clearing.
heard my uncle's Winchester slide from its
scabbard Near the center Of the clearing
there was a cabin and, OF TO the right,
barn.
It was o small cabin. A porch crossed the
front Of 1t. A low roof sheltered the porch and
all but hid the two windows that now seemed
LfeleSs. =.
For q time we sat our horses, Watching the
cabin. There was no sound but the drip OF
water from the leaves Suddenly my heart
1eaped into my throat. A light had fiickered
for moment window pane. For mo-
ment it vanished, then it came again-a CHASTITY
white spot that danced for a second on the
window pane and was gone again.
There's fire in there" My uncle spoke
In q whisper.
He had dismounted and now stood beside
his horse. T. too, swung from my saddle. My
uncle began to move slowly toward the edge Of
the clearing. / followed.
Get behind tree!" My uncle spoke in
low tone.
Then stepping out so that he was not more
than half protected by the tree, he called
aloud, "Hello!"
For moment he stood listening, then re-
peated the call. There was no answer.
Wait here" ne said. and started across the
clearing.
He was moving carefully. His winchester
was across his hip. ] heard the click as the
hammer moved back over the safety catch.
would have waited, but could not started
to follow my uncle. From the holster beneath
my left arm took the revolver he had given
me. It hung heavy in my hand. Intent
watching the cabin. he did not hear me. He
went ON.
The distance from the edge of the clearing
to the cabin was no more than 100 yards, but
shall never take longer journey. Had the
world exploded beneath my feet would not
have been surprised Finally, was crouching
beside post that supported the roof above
the porch. My uncle stood before the low
door. With the barrel of his Winchester he
raped twice on the door.
There was moments pause, then voice
within the cabin said, Come"
MY uncle drew on the buckskn thong that
served as latch-string, then with a quick
motion Of his shoulder he pushed open the door.
With single step he was inside. stepped
up on the porch and stood directly behind him.
Once inside the door, he stopped. He stood
there saying no word. His Winchester was
ready at his hip. Even So 1t would have been

room, a man stood facing him. winchester
