its crooked brakes the hard sandy
ground showed barren in the light of
the near stars.
With some difficulty Billy Wheeler
restrained Gil Baker and Steve Hur-
ley from squirting their ponies head
long into the brush, as if they were
trying to jump a bunch of steers.
Stick together, move slow, and
keep stopping to listen," Wheeler
said. That's our only chance"
They trailed into the bush slowly,
single file, Wheeler in the lead. He
had accidentally mounted horse
that believed in ghosts, and it moved
sidelong, stretching its nose warily
at the brush shadows, blowing long
uneasy whoofs. Repeatedly they
halted to sit listening.
For an hour they combed the dark
brush, alternately walking their
horses and listening.
Not until they came out at the
foot of a barren rise did they realize
that they had wandered almost a
mile from their starting point. When
you have seen one thicket of buck
brush by starlight you have seen
them all. They had pushed through
a hundred thickets, in which a man
could have hidden under the very
feet of their horses-yet in that mile
of country there were thousand
thickets more. The riders were grim
and tight-mouthed.
Horse Dunn met them at the cor
rails. He had been prowling all over
the place, rifle on his arm. He
spoke low-voiced, but no one of them
would have crossed him then, any
more than they would have fooled
with Inland silvertip. His words
came out as hard as pieces of rock.

''This is most likely all for tonight. I"
Once they were inside, Horse de-
manded of Wheeler, What the devil
got into Old Man Coffee?"
Whatever it was got into him,
it's going to cost us plenty"
81 don't believe he knows a horse
track from hounds ear" Dunn
declared angrily. "He puts me in
mind of some old moss-horn-he
paws and blows and hollers, but
what's he know about it when he
gets through? Nothing"
"I'm not so sure" Billy Wheeler
said.
'Name one thing he found out!"
'He figured out that the murdered
man was not Magoon."
Horse snorted in disgust. 81 don't
believe it. Coffee thought he had to
say something, so he said the first
thing come into his head. Every
sign we got points to the fact that
Lon Magoon was killed, in his own
saddle, and on his own horse. and
at Short Crick."
"I'm thinking now" said Billy
Wheeler, ''that we can prove that
one way or the other-right here
and now"
Howl"
"We've still got his saddle,
haven't WEI"
"It's still under my bunk"
"Let me see it."
Horse Dunn stared at him irrita-
bly, for moment, then picked up a
lamp with jerk, and led the way to
the clean bare room in which he
lived. BY the yellow light of the
lamp the fine old saddles on their
racks against the wall glinted clean
ly from silverwork and steel. Dunn
sat down on box and hooked his
elbows on the table behind him.
Horse, how big man is this
Lon Magoon? About my size?"

CHAPTER vIII-Continued

Behind Marian's Swallowed silhou-
cite the window glass itself shat
tered, as if it had exploded inward ;
out in the brush sounded the ringing
crack of rifle. Then there was 81
lence and the window against which
Marian had stood was empty except
for the lamp-lit CLEAN of its shat
tered glass.
Wheeler's breath jerked in his
throat; he dropped to the ground
and raced for the house.
In the dark beside the shattered
window Douglas was holding the
girl in his arms, and though she
chung to him, Wheeler saw that the
wagon boss was holding her up. He
heard Douglas say, "Are you hurt?
Are you"
Billy Wheeler cried out, SIN Gods
name, Marian"
Marian's voice said shakily, "I'm
all right"
"You hit?"
"No."
"Get a gun!" said Val Douglas
crafty. "We was standing here,
and somebody took a shot at"
Wheeler turned and ran for the
bunk house. Half way he almost
crashed into Tulare Callahan.

"Get the boys OUT" Wheeler told
him. "To hell with saddles, but
get ropes and guns. Somebody fired
into the layout-we've got to try to
stampede over him in the brush"

bitter coffee above a banked fire.
He had about finished washing
down his cold biscuits when he was
annoyed to discover that another
early riser was about. Someone was
walking quietly toward the cook
shack. Hurriedly he blew out his
light, gulped down half a cup of
dregs, and let himself out of the
kitchen, anxious to be on his way
without conversation.
Then, rounding the corner of the
cook shack he almost ran into Mar

CHAPTER TX

Horse Dunn sat relaxed, staring
morosely at the floor. In his eyes a
dark fire glowed. Wheeler wondered
what ugly and shadowy things the
old man was seeing. Perhaps,
Wheeler thought, he would not wish
to see in his life the like of what
Horse Dunn was seeing, as he sat
looking at the floor.
Finally Horse Dunn jerked to his
feet with an abrupt Impotence.
This is all pipe SMOKE" he said.
"For a minute you threw me up in
the air with that bunk. But HE'LL
You figure Bob come here way
no man would ever think of coming.
There's better than a hundred mill

that maybe it was him got killed."
"Well, we might anyway check
up at Pahranagat. There isn't so
much travel up the Little Mimic but
what we could find out if Bob Flagg
came that way"
"I'll send Val Douglas over there
tomorrow. I sure don't aim to
leave any stone unturned. But if
a guess is an inch long, you sure
jumped a mile"
Maybe" Wheeler admitted.
Horse Dunn took a turn of the
room and the fighting spirit that had
fiared up in his eyes burned low
and smoky again. ''This country's
gone to hell in a handbasket. I've
never asked for any more than JUS

5.-Turn damper rusted shut.
This damper in flue pipe should
