been as unsuccessful as he.
Jim bought supplies and pack
horse. He started north and began
again that tireless. grim search that
had become his mission in life. Fail
ure met him at every turn. Yet
Three weeks later he met \ pros

stranger answering Walt Yoeman's
claim on the Clearwater River in the
Black Tooth range.
1t took Jim . week to reach the
country. He was haggard from loss
OF sleep and poor food.
There came 4 day in the blazing
sunlight of high noon when he looked
down into Z gully and saw Z man on
his knees beside 4 stream panning
gold.
He crept down the slope, came up

he was unarmed. His heart leaped
Here was the chance he had prayed
for. No danger now OF the other
beating him to the draw.
He drew his gun and pointed it at
Walt Yoeman's head. Yoeman went
to his knees, his eyes terror stricken,
pleading in his throat.
Jim's fingers tightened on the
trigger, stopped. The portrait OF his
father danced before his eyes. The
man who had taught him fair play
and loyalty and respect to women.
He Swore and gestured to Walt Yoe-
man. Yoeman stumbled back to his
camp with Jim following Jim bade
him strap on his gun and stand of
20 PAGES.
Yoeman babbled incoherently. found
his words cut short. found himself
facing the man whose wife he had
stolen

Here's your chance Take it."
He went for his own gun. his
prscticed hand now having the speed

ing fire, ejecting lead that bored
through the heart of the man who
had stolen the one thing in life he
loved. crumpling up the figure in the
dust at his feet
Jim Tyson. his hand trembling now,
stood over the man whom the law
wanted as a murderer, stopped and
picked up his half-dravn weapon,
sprung the barrel and glanced inside.
The chambers were empty. All empty.
Jim Tyson dropped the gun. An
oath escaped his lips. and the portrait
OF his father danced before his eyes.
