dead mans horse, until come to
the place he rolled loose from it.

Horse Dunn had dropped to his
knees beside the saddle. None of
them had realized how deep the
room was in twilight until it was
frightened by the flare of the match
he struck. For a long moment
Horse Dunn studied the old worn
leather, until the flame burned to
his finger tips and went out. He
