Wood Long in Use, but Forever Doomed
by Other Materials; Charcoal Replaced

Wood has found a wide variety
Of uses as raw material in the
past, but it seems forever doomed
to be replaced by something else,
writes DR.. Thomas M. Beck in the
Chicago Tribune. 1t was the first
fuel that men burned, but now it
has been largely replaced by coal
and petroleum.. The first houses
were made Of wood, but now brick,
glass, concrete, and steel are grad
ually taking it's place. The wooden
ships Of century ago have given
way to the iron ships of today.
So it has been in the chemical
industry, but with one important
difference. Wood has been the
source of number of important
raw materials which have later
been produced more economically
from other sources. However, the
chemical Importance of wood itself
has not declined, for new uses have
continually been discovered to take
the place Of the old ones.
For example, the first chemical
reagent to be made from wood prob

CHAPTER VIII

The mountains were throwing
their early lucid twilight across the
range of the 81 by the time the cow
boys cleared their supper plates.
They had eaten in silence. But
somehow in the interval since the
conference in Billy Wheeler's room,
everybody there had learned that a
quarrel seemed about to smoke up
between Old Man Coffee and Horse
Dunn. So now they still loafed in
the mess shack, and nobody spoke
of seven-up. They rolled cigarettes
and lighted pipes, and couple Of
lamps were lit, throwing tall, huge
shadows of the men on the walls
behind. They all knew that the "a
was up against a thra Shout, with
in itself.
Horse Dunn broke the silence i'm.
patiently. There sure ought to be
enough scrapping on this range
without hunting up trouble among
ourselves. In ordinary times this

ably was charcoal, which is the
fairly good grade of carbon left
when the other elements of wood
are driven off by intense heat. Car
bon is an excellent reducing agent,
which means that it can readily
combine, when hot enough, with the
oxygen of metallic ores to form gas
eous carbon oxides, thereby leaving
the metal in a free state. At one
time practically all the iron pro-
duced was done so with the help OF
charcoal. Now coke has taken it's
place almost completely.
Almost simultaneous with the de-
cline of the metallurgical applica.
ton of charcoal has been the devel.
opment Of another important use,
although one more limited in vol.
ume. Carbon has an unusual ability
to absorb organic matter on its sur
face. The porous nature Of wood
charcoal gives it great amount Of
exposed surface, so that it possesses
this absorptive power to an unusual
extent.

ting into a scrap with officers Of
the peace-same as Billy got into
at Short Crick."
Dunn slumped down in his chair
and went to growing into his war
like beard. II don't believe you
know any more about it than the
rest Of us do"
'I'll put it stronger than that.
Maybe" Old Man Coffee made
each word separately he ar d.
someone in this room knows q
whole lot more than know!"
Horse Dunn sat perfectly still, ex-
cept for his eyes; his head did not
raise and no muscle Of his face
changed, but his eyes whipped to
the old lion hunters face. After a
moment he said, Coffee, that's one
remark you're sure going to have
to back up"
"I'll say just one thing more.
There's scarcely a man in this room
that hasn't lied to me at least once,
in the little time I've been here"
Horse Dunn sat up slowly, hitch
ing himself square in his chair.
Maybe some of my boys have been
a little hazy and loose-spoken about
where they've been, and when. No
man knows what he's up against
here. Take Gil, here-the sheriff
mixed him up. And why? Because
Gil would try to stand by his side
riders even if he knew every last
one of 'em was guilty. If you hold
that against him, then maybe you
know dogs-but you're nuts!"
Old Man Coffee spoke past the
pipe stem in his teeth. II suppose
that lets you out, too?" He sat look
ing at Dunn steadily, little smile
on his face.
Horse spread his hands in front

whole killing case wouldn't amount
to tinker's dam to begin with"
''I'm not so sure" said Old Man
Coffee.
What kind of case have they
got?" Horse demanded. "They can't
even find their everlasting Stiff"
They're pretty liable to find it,"
Old Man Coffee thought. when
they find it, it'll be about all they
need. If it's Magoon, like you claim,
they can show motive-you said
openly that you'd kill Magoon if you
caught him on 81 range. They've
got opportunity-by your own state
ment you were riding alone on Red
Sleep Ridge that day, and the Red
Sleep is within striking distance of
Short Crick. They can prove you
hid the dead mans saddle-which
they can stretch to make look like
concealment Of the crime. And all
this says nothing about the killing of
Cayuse Cayetano."

of Cayuse?"

Jump across it, and his voice rose

ITO hell with you," Coffee said,
without lifting his voice.
you'll either back what you
said," the outraged Horse Dunn
stormed, "or you'll swaller it
whole!"
THAT l won't do either" Coffee
said.
For moment Horse Dunn stared
at him blankly; then he sat down,
and the flame went out of his eyes,
giving place to something ugly. II
can't stand for that, Coffee" he
said. "You know I can't stand for
that
II can't help that"
"You don't give me any choice"
said Horse Dunn thickly. "You sure
you want to stick to what you said?"
Naturally"
IF you don't want to work with
me-I've got along all right so far,
and I guess I'll be able to go on
struggling along. L"
"Wait," Billy began. "You-"
Shut up, Wheeler" Coffee said.
you've acted like you've wanted
out of this ever since / got you in
it," Dunn clipped out. "All right
then-you're out! And you can send
me a bill for what owe."
Old Man Coffee stood up and
stretched himself, queer smile on
his face. "Just send me check for
a million dollars" he said. He saun-
tered out into the dark.
For few moments after Old Man
Coffee had gone out, the 81 people
sat silent, unable to realize that the
old lion hunter was no longer Of
their number.
Horse Dunn reused himself. II
always heard he was cracky. But
now he's gone cracked altogether.
I suppose the old fool won't even
stay the night-he'll 60 sleep in the
brush somewhere. Well, fair
enough! Somebody go catch him his
mule"
Two or three of them moved, but
Billy Wheeler wanted the job, and
he took it, He held lantern while
Coffee saddled his black mule. He
knew it was useless to try to get the
two old men together again, but he
felt that it was one of those things
that a man has to try. He kept
trying to think of an angle Of APP
proach, but Old Man Coffee, whose
packing up was easily done, was
ready to move out before Wheeler,
had thought Of way.
Old Man Coffee extended his hand.
"Well, so long, son."
"I'm almighty sorry" Wheeler
said, "to see you leave this case.
You're needed here, if ever man
was"
Tough" said Old Man Coffee. He
swung aboard the black mule and
sat looking down at Billy Wheeler
from the saddle. II kind Of like
you, son. You seem to have a lit
tie more savvy than the others. So
here's something for you to keep
under your hat. I'm not out Of this
case yet. I'm going to do one more
job before I go. I'm going to find
the murdered man."

"Looks like 1 might. Horse Dunn
he amt in on this. He made a
fool of me, and himself too, when he
got bullheaded and held onto Ma
goon's saddle. I told him to turn
it in to the sheriff-but no, he had
to have his own way. This time I'm
running no chances. If I find the
dead man, my next move will be to
take word to the sheriff"
"And then"
"And then I'm going off in the
brush and sleep for a week."
"But look here! Do you realize,
if you do that the Inspiration crowd
will be holding every card in the
deck? Where does the 81 come in?"
"That's your worry. But I'll help
you this much: you be up on Lost
Whiskey Butte tomorrow about an
hour after sun-up. Tomorrow's 60
ing to be my last days work on this
case-I hope. And We'll see what
We'll see."
"I'll be there" Wheeler said.
"And don't you bring Horse Dunn
or any of his hired men either.
Or by golly, I'll"
"Okay."
When he was gone Billy Wheeler
climbed to the top rail Of the cor
raj, where he sat despondently eye
ing the horizon stars. For the first
time he felt an overwhelming sense
of the GAS helplessness against odds.
Everything had gone against Horse
Dunn; the outfit was confused, dis
organized, at loss.
One question stood out largely in
his mind. Where was Bob Flagg?
To Billy Wheeler it seemed that
the appearance Of Bob Flagg, and
this alone, could give them any
chance to extricate the 81 from the
trap it was in.
Marian Dunn, he noticed, still
stood talking to Val Douglas, linger-
ing outside the door of the ranch
house. In the stiffness of the night
he could hear the low continuous
murmur Of Walls voice, talking
steadily-doubtless in his own be-
half. And he could see Marian's
lowered profile against the yellow
light of a window pane. 1t was
curious how every suggested line of
that girl, every least bend Of her
head could move Billy Wheeler,
twist him inside.
Then strange thing happened
strange in that Billy Wheeler had al
most forenotice of it. AS he sat
there alone in the dark he now found
himself keenly aware of the peopled
layout about him-aware Of the ex-
act location of the men in the bunk
house, of the ponies in the corrals.
1t was peculiar sensation, as if
he were suddenly more awake than
before, as awake as man in a
ring battle, or a man in danger.
And especially he was aware of
the dark, silent brush country at
his back, where buckbrush and des-
ert juniper stood thick behind the
corrals. Somewhere out there a
twig cracked, and his nerves jerked.
Something in that black mile of
brush was as awake as he.
Then abruptly the silence broke,
definitely, once-and-for- as if the
nights shell of stiffness h a d
cracked.

chair and considered for several
long moments. "No," he said at
last.
"Why?" Dunn demanded.
Somebody, sope place, may
have killed Lon Magoon, for all I
know. But he sure wasn't killed at
Short Crick."
For once in his life old Horse
Dunn's jaw dropped. Look here!
You wouldn't go to fooling with
me?"
II don't always know what I'm
talking about This time know"
"But the saddle"
II don't question it was Magoon's
saddle; l only say it was different
man was killed in it."
Again Horse stared at Coffee;
then he relaxed little, and sat
down on the bunk. Coffee" he
said, eff you're so dead sure, in
Gods name tell us what you know!"
Coffee squinted his deep-set eyes
at Dunn. II sore-footed a good dog,
and like to killed a mule, getting
over here to help you with this case.
I don't ask for that to be appre-
ciated. But I'm getting little tired

Horse looked baffled. Whats the

More than one, right here on this
place. Dunn, there's too many
things not open to the eye around
here to suit mel"
Coffee" said Horse Dunn with
out belligerence, what in all hell
do you mean by that?"
It'll just give you one sample"
Old Man Coffee picked up his dog
whip from the floor and sorted out
its coils with bony old fingers.
There's been horse in this case
that's been known as the killers
horse, because he left his trail at
Short Crick, mixed up in the sign
of the killing. You know took old
Rock and we trailed that horse;
though it come to nothing, then.
Now, since we've been back here
this afternoon, I've seen funny
thing. Rocks been working around
the horse corrals, by himself; try
ing to work out trail. Dog voices
is peculiar-they call different trails
in different ways. And as soon as
I heard Rocks voice, / knew he was
crying the trail of the killer horse"
They stared at him in silence.
Then Horse Dunn said, you're tell
ing me that the killers horse has
been here in this layout-right here
within the past few days?"
"Within the past "a hours" Coffee
said.
Horse Dunn made a gesture of
Impotence, almost of disgust II
! swear I never heard the beat" he
said. "You set out to give me
sample of how you've been done
wrong by, around here. And what
does it come to? You read names,
dates and places into the howl of a
hound; and you figure out that right
here among us he's come on trail

CHAPTER vII-Continued

sun-blasted street. That street was
curiously empty unwholesomely
empty, so that nobody who had seen
the crowd there could look at that
street now without knowing that
something was irregular, something
wrong.
Move out, them" the sheriff said.
Drag your freight and drag it
quick. Keep going. Five minutes
from now l don't want you in this
town."
Horse Dunn chuckled in his short
beard and hitched his belt up. Slow
ly he sauntered past the deputies,
staring at each of them with an
open insolent amusement as he
passed; then he shouldered out,
huge hulk that filled the whole
frame of the door.
Unhurrying, the 81 men made
their way along the main street of
Inspiration, around the corner to
their car.
But as the dust of Inspiration
kicked out from under their tires
they knew that they had put behind
them violence that was not avoid
ed, but only delayed.
BY the time they reached the
ranch it was already late afternoon,
and the tall Tuscaroras were send
ing vast, vague fingers of shadow
about the layout Of the "a, while the
high eastern horizon was still bright
ly brassy in the sun. Marian did not
come out to meet them. Hunting
around, Horse Dunn presently sight
ed her sitting on the fence of a
little empty corral, hidden from the
house by the barns. He walked out
to climb the fence beside her; and
Billy Wheeler, tired Of people
around him, went to his room, and
got his razors out.
Here Horse presently came look
ing for him. The old COW boss
walked in slowly and closed the
door after him. He sat down on
the edge Of the bunk with the move
ments Of a man hundred years
old; and he covered his face with
his hands.
"You know what she said to me?"
he demanded.
Nope"
81 went out to where she's sitting
on that corral. I just wanted to tell
her about Rufe Deane throwing
down his deputy badge, and the way
they cleared the street. thought
maybe if she'd seen it all she'd
know what we're up against. So /
went out there and said, Marian
That was all said. She never even
looked at me. And pretty soon she
says-'You're making this country
run red.
Suddenly Billy Wheeler felt de-
tached pity for this old man and this
girl. He was able to see what Horse
Dunn could not: that the girl was
curiously dependent upon this old
man, who looked like her father;
was dependent upon him in more
ways than she was aware. And
both were deeply hurt, at loss, be-
cause they could not understand
each other.
He could not see much chance
that the girl would learn to under
stand either Horse Dunn or the dry
country men whom he faced. Horse
Dunn was what the dry country had
made him; and there was no longer
anything in the old mans life ex-
cept the COW kingdom he had
dreamed. and tried to build, for her.
A slight noise was heard and Old
Man Coffee came in gloonily and
threw his coiled dog whip on the
floor.
II haven't actually hit dog with
that thing for over nine days." he
offered. but swear / come close
to hitting one tonight. That old fool
makes me so cussed-"
Coffee" Dunn interrupted, "you
