"A CAR ratified up the road to the

seeking shadows. It's here, he
thought. At last.
The tall man passed out rifles.
"All right, break it up. Surround

was that of a man sure of himself.

Strong and competent, that tall
man from out of Barrett's past, but
this time not strong enough. The
pistol, jolted from his fingers, struck
Barrett's foot. Barrett fell to his
knees, reaching.
But not for the pistol. The thing
he snatched was round and black,
from the warden's belt. And now
his boots gored the ground as he ran.
Once before he had run like that,
with men and hounds behind him.
This was different. His heart sang a
different song.
His brothers cry, behind him,
went unheeded. He raced on, up the
slope Other men shouted from the
lower dark. From the farmhouse
on the ridge finger of fame sped
to meet him. He stumbled. The
fiame-fnger stabbed again, and
echoes of shots rolled across the
night. Slower on, but still erect,
Barrett traced a crooked path up
ward. Just ahead lay the unmoving
boy. Beyond, close now, the house.

hand caught CLINT of moonlight as
