Sal Hardy of Pass creek was
b%lltheness. - listen to you.
Morg," he said.
The killer swept a hand in the
direction of the rescued man. Lou,
he'll do my talkin' for me-" he
boosted. while you were sleeping
comfortable, me and Clint risked
our hides to get yore boy for you.
We had to bump off an L c rider
and fight a battle with Chiswick's
gang. but VIZ brought Lou back with
u.s."
Fine. We would have had Lou,
anyhow. in a day or two" The
fathomless eyes of Howard rested
in those of Norris. did you bring
Kansas back with you too?"
Norris began to bristle. kansas
was a embarrassing son-of-a-gun."
You told me the other day a
posse killed him. That right?"
The killer hesitated. There was
no use holding to that story, since
everybody knew that Ruth Chiswick
had refuted it. "A fellow has to 60
through" he said sulkily. kansas
was fixing to throw me down. It
was him or me. I had to beat him
to it,"
Pete. the bartender. threw in a
low . voiced suggestion. That's
right. Sherm. The young lady says
Kansas told her he meant to line
up with her dad"
Like to have a little talk with
Lou" that young mans father said.
"Afterward l want to see you and
Mile High. Morg."
Lou followed Sherm into the little
room Curt Dubbs used as an office.
The big man closed the door. He
sat down ponderously in a chair.
What you want to see me
about?" his son asked nervously.
The older man spread plump
white hands. His expressionless
eyes we're fixed on the other.
Come clean. Lou" he ordered.
What does this Gray know? What
did you tell him."
Tiny beads of perspiration began
to stand out on the forehead Of the
younger man. You didn't do a
thing for me-" he protested. with
the violence Of weakness. Left me
there to be hanged. If they hadn't
got Ruth home safe, that's what
would have happened to me. too.
You look after your own hide
mighty well. but you don't want me
to do the same"
Il was doing all l could for you.
but mind that. I've got to
know where we stand. What did
you tell Gray and Chiswick?"
What l told under fear of death
doesn't count" Lou evaded. May.
be l said more'n should. So would
you have. So would anyone"
I'm listening"
Lou told what he had confessed,
bit by bit. his father sweating the
story out of him.
After the son had finished, the
older man sat staring in front of
him. piecing together the things that
he knew and those that he suspect
ed. What Lou had told Chiswick
did not matter so much. It had
been general. and it had dealt only
with the attack on the Mexicans.
But what he had admitted to the
United States marshal would hang
