replied coldly.
You may own it, but you don't
own mems mouths. If a stranger
rides out of here with the news
that I framed a beefin' on st.
Vrain, you'll be huntin' a new
shorthand it won't be blackma1l
that's drive me off,"
Mac said nothing as they both
went out, crossing the street to
the Ocotillo, Hogan going into the
business houses.
Macs men, in a back room of
the Ocotillo, listened to his plan
with misgivings. They were sure
the man didn't live that could
take POGO st. Vrain if he didn't
want to be taken. If they killed
him, it would mean leaving the
country and a good job.
And If you don't take him it'll
mean the same thing" Mac coun-
tered with cold logic. Either
throw in with the scheme. or go
to the bank with me and I'll give
you your time"
The men looked at each other,
and finally the boldest said. You
can give me my time, Mac. I'd
rather be out of work and alive
than have a job and dead"

Mac said quietly. Now who's ask
ing for his time?"
Blackmail was one of handiest
tools McCandleSS used, a tool that
was always effective because he
hired no riders that couldn't be
black-mailed. 1t worked this time.
Sullen and unwilling, the men
gave their consent.
AN OLD FRIEND
When POGO entered the Mari
copa there was a scattering OF
men at the gaming tables, three
or four at the bar, half dozen
! or so drinking at tables with the
dancehall girls in the rear Of the
room under the balcony. He
strolled to the bar, ordered beer,
and was consuming 1t when he
felt a pair Of arms circle his
neck.
He whirled, stepping sideways,
his hands on his guns, and then
saw-and grinned. Standing be-
fore him was a slight girl, dark
as an italian, with Q wide happy
smile on her face that somehow

seemed to cancel all the tawdry
and cheap finery Of her low cut
purple dress.
"Poco!" she cried, and was In
his arm, kissing him, hugging
him.
TAKE It easy, Steamboat" He
looked at her fondly. Still in
in the sideshow, huh? How long
you been here?"
POGO said to the bartender. "a
gag and a beer, and make the gag
real. This Is a celebration"
The bartender grinned and
nodded and POGO went to q table
with the girl. When they were
seated, Steamboat pulled her
chair close to his, ran an arm
through his, and said, First. will
you marry me?"
"Huh-uh."
Steamboat sighed in mock
seriousness, but all the time she
was looking at him, feaSting her
eyes on him. That's what I
thought. Damit. When will you?"
POGO ignored this. ''What're
you doing here, Steamboat I left
you in Nogales."
THAT'S the trouble. you left
me-" Steamboat sighed.
CHAPTER XVIII
POGO smiled at her. The drinks
came, and Steamboat took the
whiskey. IT haven't touched it
since you told me to lay off,"
"Good. Touch it now. You
don't see the old man often"
"How about yourself? Is beer

Poco's face shadowed a little.
mo, some other time"
Steamboat laid her untouched
drink on the table. Trouble
coming?"
POGO shook his head and raised
his beer to her and drank. "No
trouble" he said slowly. Just a
nuisance"
"A woman, isn't itP" Steamboat
said, looking him levelly in the
eye.
Sure" POGO agreed readily.
TITS always a woman"
Does she like you?"
Shed like to poison me-" POGO
said quietly.
Steamboat nodded wisely. "Then
it's love. Are you going to marry
her?"
Not if I can help it,"
you will If she can" She
raised a hand to smother any OBJ
jectionS he might make. do you
love her?"
DOESN'T LOVE KATE
POGO drew marks on the table
with the water from the glass bot
tom. Love her?" he drawled
slowly. why, I love you, Steam

do you love her?" Steamboat
persisted.
POGO looked up at her. mo-" he
said coldly. Il made her a prom

I'm keeping my word"
A man entered the saloon then,
one Of McCandlesS' men. He looked
around, saw POGO, then ordered
a drink at the bar.
"Sit tight" POGO said softly, and
rose. He Strolled up to the head
Of the room, pauSing at a poker
table at which q houSeman and a

The stranger looked up at him.
He was a solid, middle-aged man,
dressed in worn and clean Lewis
and blue shirt. POGO liked his
face. He gestured to a chair and
said, "Sit down."
When another McCandless man
came in, POGO saw him, too. He
watched 'covertly while the second
man Joined the first at the bar.
POGO looked down the long room
to the back door, and he saw
three other men seated at q rear
table. They had the sallow ap-
pearance Of townsmen.

next. POGO took one look at him
and asked the houSeman. That
