The colored janitor of Nathan's
Creek School, knowing nothing OF
the party given by the high school
seniors feared he was having a
hangover from his own Halloween
when he saw the leaves scattered,
wildly here and there and the re-
mains of the once smiling Jack O.
lanterns, lying despondently, where
they had fallen. Had he but seen
the witches and ghosts, prowling
about Friday night, heard the
strange mixture of sounds rising
from the school auditorium he
would have. known" he was ego
ing" to have hangover!

Seems to me-" he said, "that's
a whole lot different from what
you were saying just little while
ago."
Il wasn't able to believe my own
eyes, I guess. wasn't able to get
over the 'settled-up' idea that east

Rufe Dean or anyone else could
ever look down the sights OF a gun
at Marian Dunn; she was so gently
and sweetly made, so precious in
his eyes. He didn't believe in Horse
Dunn's creed of gun justice for he
thought that the use of violence
outside the law was a costly thing,
defeating its own purposes in the
end. But he knew that if ever he
faced Rufe Deane with anything
lik a decent proof in his hands, he
would destroy the killer as he
would destroy a sidewinder or a
vinegaroon.
I'll never be able to believe in
Gods world that anyone would Set

somebody has tried. What natural
ly comes to mind is that somebody,
some enemy of Horse Dunn, has
gone out of his head. But-hard
as it is to believe, there is one 9TH
er possibility we have to take ac-
count of-that without knowing it
you've heard something, or seen
something, which would give away
the Short Creek killer-if you re-
membered it, and recognized it for
what it was"
She said, Give thought of that"
Marian, if you can remember
seeing anything-a rider in the dis
tance-some horse coming home at
a strange time-one of the guns
missing from it's racks here in the
house-even an empty shell that
you thought nothing of-that one
thing might give us the answer!"
"Pve racked my brain over and
over; but I can't think of anything,
Billy"
''Not even a chance word, over

She shook her head. "Billy, I
just can't remember anything that
would answer the purpose at ALL"
She pressed her palms against her
eyes for moment; then lifted her
head sharply, shaking out her loose
hair. cts no use. This isn't the
first time I've tried to remember;
I've been trying hard for two
days."
II thought it would most likely
be hopeless" he admitted. "1'll

'"This is my outfit, Billy. It
shouldn't be my outfit; it should
be my mothers, or Horse Dunn's.
But nothing can make Horse see
that. And I see now that if you're
going to run cattle on a big scale
out in this country, you sometimes
have to be willing to fight for your
range"
He stared at her, marveling. The
girl who was talking to him now
was not the girl he had known two
years ago; she was not even the
girl he had known at the beginning
of the week. It was as if some false
outer cloaking of ideas and habits,
put upon her by her mothers sea-
board world, had suddenly fallen
away, leaving her revealed as what
she was-a daughter of the dry
land. Under the pressure of that
