going. And now old Rock made a
curious play. The old dog had been
in a sulk all day long, unwilling to
quarter the trail of the loafer wolf;
but now he sent up a long full
throated cry and drifted swiftly,
nose down, hundred yards along
the red rock.
Old Man Coffee said under his
breath, "Ill be eternally damned!"
Abruptly the old dog turned to look
at Old Man Coffee, let his tail drop
again, and quit the trail.
"What's the matter?"
Everything" Coffee said. II
never done SO much false figuring in
my life!" He pushed ahead quickly
now, shouting to his hounds, jerking
new life into them with gutteral In
dian words that the others did not
understand.
Now suddenly the big spotted
leader hound sprang ahead, bawl-
ing; and in another moment the rest
Of the hounds were with him, rum
ming full cry, understanding the
horses.
'The wolf again." said Coffee, a
new keen edge on his voice. "Chil-
dren, we're near the end Of the
trail!"
Yet because the trail OF the wolf
was indirect and circling, they spent
another hour in following the dogs.
The ponies were scrambling over
broken rock now, keeping up as best
they could. The dusk was very deep
when Old Man Coffee pulled up at
last and sat waiting.
They did not see what had stopped
him at first; but after few mo-
ments they saw that the hounds
had made a circle and were COM
ing back. Coffee got down off his
mule, called in his dogs, and tied
|;up each of them, separately, to rock
| or scrub oak. But he had to crack
the long dog whip over them more
than once before they would lie

die. Marian" he said, "this is as
far as you CO." "You stay with
her, Billy. I don't know how long
this will take"
He said something unintelligible
to the dogs, and then moved away
from them, the dainty feet of his
mule picking its way, and old Rock
Sinking close behind.
They sat there for what seemed
like an endless time. Billy Wheeler
tried to talk to break the sad ter
rible stiffness, but this place smoth-
cred the words in his throat.
The first stars were showing when
Old Man Coffee came back to them
at last, his black mule moving like
lean tall shadow among shadows.
He came close to them, then for
moment sat silent, looking back
over his shoulder the way he had
come; and Wheeler knew that he
was futilely seeking words for what.
he had to say.
Long before the old man spoke
they knew he had found what he
had sought.
"It's Bob Flagg," Old Man Coffee
said.
Horse Dunn accepted the news
that Flagg was dead more quietly,
more steadily, than Wheeler had ex-
pected.
How was he killed." Dunn
asked.
"By shotgun; the same as Cay
use Cayetano."
where's Coffee?"
Coffee, Wheeler had found, could
not be persuaded to return with
them to the 81. It was Coffee's be-
lief that Dunn had made a serious
mistake when he had chosen to hold
Magoon's saddle instead of turning
it in to the sheriff.
1.-THE sheriff will be out here in
the morning, sure" Wheeler said.
II think Walt Amos means to be
fair. But there's better than hum
bred men in Inspiration, all out Of
outfits that hate the 81. Amos is
sitting on stove, and it's getting
hotter every minute"
LET him come"
"Any more dope on the Cayetano
| Kiliing?"
II sent Gil Baker to Ace Springs.
But he hasn't come back" t.
"Val Douglas went to Pahranagat,
did he?"
"He left this morning. I suppose
it'll be late tomorrow night before
he gets back-maybe longer. Steve
and Tulare and me, we spent the
day prospecting around in the Tus-
carora foothills, here"
"And didn't find anything"
Wheeler supposed.
Chilly" said Horse Dunn, there's
somebody been Sinking around
over there. We found the ashes
of two different fires. And I'm not
damn bit sure there isn't some
body proving around there YETI
CHOW who the devil would that
be?"
That's just tive don't know
who that would be. l guess-it
doesn't matter, now"
They had expected Sheriff Walt
Amos to appear in the course Of
the night, or at least no later than
the first light; but it was noon be-

fore Amos appeared. He again
came alone, as he had come after
Billy Wheeler.
At the 81 he found only Horse
Dunn and Billy Wheeler, for Steve
Hurley and Tulare Callahan were in
the Tuscaroras in search of the I'm
known prowler now believed to be
hiding there; Val Douglas and Gil
Baker had not yet returned; and
Marian was out with her pony. Walt
Amos climbed out Of his car and
walked slowly to the gallery Of the
cook shack, where the 81 people
happened to be. They awaited him
in silence.
Horse" said Walt Amos, "the
time has come when I can't put off
acting no more"
What have you done with Gil
Baker?" Horse Dunn demanded.
"He's in Inspiration. We had to
take him in
rs he hurt?"
"Not bad. He came prowling
around Ace Springs, where Cage
tano was killed, and one Of the depu-
ties hollered to him to halt, but he
made a run for it. They had to
throw down on him before he'd give
himself up. Turned out he was
shot in the leg"
you're getting almighty high
handed around here, Amos!"
Sorry. But I reckon it's going
to seem still a little more so. Dunn
I got to take you in"
ION what charger"
HELD for questioning; concerning
murder
Horse Dunn stood up, his thumbs
hooked in his belt and his eyes
rolled slowly over the foothills Of
the Tuscaroras; it seemed to Wheel
er that he was looking for sign.
Now Dunn answered him at last,
and Wheeler saw that somehow, in
the course of the night, the old man
had been able to prepare himself
!! for this thing. "When you want to
move QUIZ" he asked.
"I'd like to get on back as soon
as you're ready, Dunn"
And now out of trail that wound
through the tall buckbrush back Of
the layout rider came. His horse
| was at quiet running walk, but
the animal shone wet with sweat,
land from under the edges Of the
saddle blanket the lather rolled. It
was Tu1are Callahan.
He rode directly to the cook
shack gallery and swung down.
"Horse, I've seen Lon Magoon!"
he announced.
"Tulare, are you sure?"

high ridge, at better'n a mile. But
Horse, I knew him as sure as

"Amos," said Horse Dunn, I'm
going to have to ask for a little
more time"

CHAPTER x

AS Coffee, with his dogs about
him, rode out to meet Wheeler and
Marian Dunn from Lost Whiskey
Butte, the girl pushed her horse
ahead. She stopped close to the old
man, facing him squarely.
"He tried to keep me from COM
ing" she told Coffee, "but there
wasn't anything he could really do.
Now, if you want me to go back, I
will"
Old Man Coffee grinned. He
moved his mule nearer Marian's
pony, and leaned forward to peer
into her eyes. Then he laid bony
old hand on her shoulder. Child,
what happened to you?"
Nothing"
Something did, though" Wheeler
contradicted. He told Coffee Of the
shot from the brush.
The old hunter scowled; he looked
as nearly startled as they had ever
seen him look. This changes the
whole set-up," he complained. 81
thought I had it licked. I thought
I could pretty near give names and
cases. But-this spaears it,"
don't follow that, Marian said.
Neither do IT, Coffee said, dis
missing discussion. He turned to
Wheeler. "You told her what we
aimed to try?"
"No."
We'll, you should have. This is
kind Of sad, dark job we're on
today, girl. We're going to try to
find the-the man that was killed
at Short Crick."
II guessed that" Marian said.
Old Man Coffee led off to the
northeast, his sleepy-eared mule in
an ambling shuttle, and they rode in
silence for a little way. Coffee sig
nailed to them to come abreast.
"Maybe you've wondered some,"
he said, why I've been kind Of
proving around of nights, as your
wagon boss was at pains to make
known. Well, ! guess it won't hurt
nothing to tell how a thing like this
is done. Did you ever listen to
coyote voices, of a night, Mariana"
II couldn't very we'll help it, could
II"
There's, a funny thing about
them. More things interest coyotes
than you'd expect. And if some
thing kind of strange and interest
ing happens on the range, all of 'em
know it, all over the desert. We'd
learn queer things from 'em if we
could understand their talk little
better.
"Coyotes won't touch dead man;
neither will loafer wolf. But they'll
circle around, and kind of wall, and
sing. Once before this I found out
where corpse was hid by listening
to the coyote voices at night"
'"This time, we got a break.
There's a loafer wolf on the range.
He'll only talk about certain things,
and maybe speak only two, three
times week. So when he let's
out the same kind of queer cry, in
the same place three or four nights
in row, man begins to wonder. ;"
That was a long day, and a
strange day-the strangest in Mar
ian Dunn's life. Their work carried
them great distance, much of
which was wasted in quartering,
and the long following Of false trails.
Some queer geometry Of land
marks was working in Coffee's
head, but what it was like they could
not guess, and he did not explain.
Repeatedly Old Man Coffee pulled

"You bet I am" They went into
the cook shack, and he lighted the
lamp again.
Moving slowly, he quietly showed
wood into the banked fire, and got
bacon into skillet. I'm sure sor-
ry I can't stay while this cooks,' he
said. "But I've got to make ride"
Maybe I'll go with you."
I'm afraid" he said gently, "you
wouldn't want to do that"
"You mean you don't want me"
ut isn't that. But
IF you had any ina gination you'd
know got up at this unearthly hour
because I want to talk to you"
He waited, disturbed. She stood
close to him, talking almost in whis-
pers. He knew he must get going,
but he could not bring himself to
move away.
"You see-I heard part of what
you and Uncle John said last nigh"
"You heard-what?"

Rock in full cry" she explained.
my room isn't next to his, but it
isn't far away. And when he's an
cry, I'll bet he can be heard ten
miles back into the Tuscaroras. 1
couldn't help hearing what you said
about Bob Flagg being dead. And
if that's true
Wheeler was startled. Mari
an" he looked at her square
what else did you hear?"
Her eyes did not waver. "That
was all"
He thought he detected faint
wicked CLEAN in her eyes, but he
kept his face expressionless, and
stood pat.
We've got to find Old Man Cot
fee," she said.
F9ssSeerfls like he's left, Marian
you've got to take me to him."
the girl said. "You can find hin-I
know you can find him"
What makes you think SOP"
Cant your"
Wheeler hesitated; what Old Man
Coffee had told him had been told
in confidence. Yet, invariably, he
found it almost impossible to speak
untruly to this girl.
His hesitation was fatal. ssYou
know where he Isl" she said sud-
denly.
He picked up his bride. "I've
got to get out of here"
'Billy-you're riding out to meet
Old Man Coffee!"
''Tell your uncle I'll be back to-
night" he said abruptly, and moved
toward the door.
Tim going with you"
Tim sorry" he said, "but you're
not. You're pest, that's what
you are! Go on and eat your break
fast"
Yet he knew that he could not
bluff this girl, nor control anything
ts.at she did; and what was worse,
she knew it too. AS he left her she
was writing note to her uncle,
telling him where she had gone; and
she was with him, mounted on her
own pony, as he left the layout.
Wheeler pressed his pony along
steadily, eyes to the front; and he
was combating his keen awareness
that the girl was at his side. He
had loved this gaunt, clear-colored
country of blasting sun and sharp
shadows; differently than he had
loved the girl, but as man loves
his home. But now he knew he
would need another different coun-
try, new type of grazing land, If
he was ever going to forget this
girl who rode beside him, whom he
could never possess.
They were almost in the shadow
of Lost Whiskey Butte when she
broke the silence between them.
"Billy---1 told you something that
wasn't So"
He waited.
