New Highway Pro-

Preparation of legal papers for
the purchase of the abandoned Gin
cinnati and Lake Erie Traction Com
pany right-of-way through Putnam
county is under way, it was learned
this week to revive the possibility
that State Route 65 may be re-
located through the county.
Hopes for the improvement which
would eliminate eight railroad grade
crossings in the county as we'll as
provide modern highway for To-
ledo traffic in addition to United
States Route % were dimmed a few
weeks ago. Officials of Columbus
Grove announced that they would not
provide land for a right-of-way
through that village, a purchase the
highway department had declared
must be made in each of four viii
lagos if the relocation was to be car
ried out.
However, State Representative T.
F. McElroy few days ago con-
ferred with highway department Off
cials who revealed to him that the
state department is determined to
go through with this improvement
regardless of the Columbus Grove
opposition.

Lazily, Walt Candy stretched in
his saddle. He was not watching
Kelso now, but out of his eye-cor-
ners kept the red-faced man on his
right fixed in view. He had caught
the note of cue speech in that last

He stopped twirling the tobacco
sack and thrust it in under his coat
to his shirt pocket. And then the
play came.
For some reason the red-faced
killer did not wait for the mix-up of
crowding horses to give excuse. His
hidden right hand jerked suddenly.
1t was quick, but HOLSTERS warning
shout was a second quicker.
A gun ripped the ravine silence
in single jarring crash. Upon
the red face came a look of stupid
surprise. The man lurched forward,
grabbing his saddle horn. An ugly

There was a time of steel objects

As Pete Kelso lowered his hands,
the queer smile that had been there
once before today, creased his
swarthy face. Without word he
led off across the fiat sink, the 9TH
ers following. But out of earshot he
stopped, spoke quickly, then swung
north alone, jumping his horse at
once into lope.
North meant to town. Puzzled,
Walt Candy watched him go.

CHAPTER XII

HOLLISTER and Walt swung in
L i along the curving bluff where
an arm of the sink cut back into
the bench. Pete Kelso's figure was
a dark speck northward. Twisting
in his saddle Candy saw the two
henchmen circling out on the fiat
and knew they would not be long
in returning to pick up their guns.
They'd be harmless for the rest of
this day. All their shells were in
HOLSTERS saddle pockets.
Farther out on the sink, G c cat
tie were grazing in scattered herds,
peaceful, stupid brutes, unable to
know of the war that men were plan
ming in order to keep their paunches
full of grass. Or was it the men
that were stupid? Irrelevantly, Walt
Candy wondered.
Half a mile ahead the arm mar
rowed, and he could make out the
notch of trail leading upward onto
the bench top. A small bunch of
half a dozen cows were near at
hand. Suddenly Bill Hollister swore.
A range boss can tell his own ami
mails before reading their brands;
but it took a closer view for Candy
to be sure these were 77's, and not
CC's. AS he started to say some
thing about this enemy run-in, rid
erless horse trotted into sight where
the sink arm narrowed to point.
He bit his words off.
Hollister had seen the horse too,
and in unison his black and Gandy's
palomino were lifted into a run. The
mount was Cash Cameron's tall
gray. They drove it back, swept
onto tongue of grass from seepage
water, and then, passing cabin
size chunk of rock, slid to stop
next instant beside spring.
Cameron stood there, water plas-
tering the white hair close to his
head, his hat on the ground. He
pivoted groggily, recognized the two
&C men, stopped and splashed
more water on his face.
Hollister swung down. where's
Helen?"
''The girl went back an hour ago."
Cameron said, rising.
"Alone? Lord, Cash, the TT is
loose all over herei"
Don't I know It'll" The old man
bent and recovered his hat, sourly
examining hole high up the crown.
His gray face frightened. "And I've

asked.

pool here and saw some cows. Them

(Now 60 on with the story)

Kelso went on smoothly, in
roundabout way drawing toward
something which Walt Candy had
already foreseen. IND being wide
open with you, Hollister. jeff Stod-
dard means to winter two thousand
n animals here in the sink. AS his
range boss, I'll see that he does it.
We're gathering now and we'll drive
day after tomorrow"
Interest came into Hollister's
eyes. DAY after tomorrow? I'll
make note of that, Pete. Will
Stoddard be along?"
Riding point, same as usual"
Kelso told him. "What of it?"
Hollister said nothing, but Candy,
watching closely that set face, be-
lieved the lank man had concluded
some long line of thinking.
Pete Kelso, too,- must have felt
that perhaps in some way he did not
control all destiny, that the game
was slipping out of his hands, al
though he did not see how. His black
eyes glittered. His words quickened.
"It would be a damn bad mistake
for you to show up on that day, Hol-
lister" He jerked his hardening
gaze across to Candy. "Or any 9TH
er c c mani"
Behind that look, thinly veiled,
was the thing Walt Candy had been
expecting.
Hollister, Kelso, and the sheer
cliff wall were directly before him.
Kelso's two hirelings hemmed him
in right and left. Now the left one
edged forward On the right, he
of the red face turned in his saddle
and gazed off up the ravine, and
in SO turning, his long-backed body
hid the forty-five.
Kelso was speaking again, once
more in his smoothly confident
voice.
"Hollister, you might as well
make up your mind to quit the Emf
grant Bench. The c c is sunk. What
do you want to go down with it
for? You're only the foreman. Why
don't you get out?"
ne pduSGQ, ulGli SilOl llUIIle.
"You'd have to sneak, sure. God
knows both you and Cameron are
in a hole as far as the laws con-
cerned. But none of us blames you
for doing away with that cook"
In a fieeting shift of his glance,
Candy caught the rock-like control
of Bill HOLSTERS face; control COW
ering more smoldering fire than any
man would guess. For good reason
Hollister had ridden today unarmed.
He would have no outbreak until he
himself touched it off. But it was
taking almost more than his iron
will to keep silent under Pete Kel-
SOS continued thrusts.
.'That's what I'm saying to you,"
the n man finished. I'm not prom
ising SO much for any green hands
youv taken on. They're bound to
get into trouble at time like this.
