wanted to have the fun Of killing
his man by STOW degrees.
one day he heard Jules was on
the division With four of his
men ne started out after him.
FIe offered a reward for Jules
alive. but said he wouldn't pay
anything for him dead. He
wanted 10 Go the killing himself.
SiaIc'S four men were sent on
ahead Lo-the- relay station where
the Frenchman had been seen.
Take him any way you can,
bat don't harm him." were
SHADES orders.
The killer lurked a few miles
behind until he saw two of his
men galloping toward him.
we cot him." they yelled.
Caught him off guard
"Yuh didn't snoot mn" Slade
asked
Nav didn't fire a shot. Got
him tied mp att. corral '-
Shade set spurs TO his horse. In
a few minutes he slipped out of
the saddle at the relay station
and dropped his reins.
Without a word he walked TO
the corral Sure enough, there,
tied up with his back TO a post,
stood his worst enemy. 1t was
the first time their eyes had met
since that-day when Jules told
the boys to bury his dead and
Slade had reared up to snarl
bloody defiance and make his
threat
I'm a man O my word. Jules"
SHADES words were slow and cold.
I'm goin' to return that lead
you poured into me, JUS to see
how much you can hold. An
while you're thinkin that over,
don't forgit about tn ears"
Slade turned and fooled with
his siX-shooters a while, whirling
them in his hands, a slick trick
of the old gun-fighters to turn
the tables on a man when ordered
to hand over their pistols.
If a man ever enjoyed killing
Joe Slade sure enjoyed that one.
He was crack shot and he knew
it. SO, after letting Jules think
1t over a while he tried a few
trick shots on his victim.
Ills bullets ptnked Jules just
1bout cvciy place on his body
before ne got through. They
weren't aimed to kill, just to cut
enough flesh to sting and draw
blood
Aims pretty good today,
amt it. Jules? he gloated as
he'd whirl and fire while walk
ing away, ripping another skin
wound in the helpless mans
body He played with him like
a cat with a half-dead mouse.
Jules knew better than to ex-
pect any mercy, so he didn't
bother TO ask for it, He'd plead
for his life with a mob of men,
yes, but why waste breath now?
Any one Of the shots being fired
at him might be the last one.
Finally Slade got tired Of his
fun. The trick shooting was over.
His lips set in a hard line. He
drew down the cold steel barrel
Of his pistol slowly and pulled
the trigger. That bullet plowed
straight through the center OF
Jules forehead. The riddled
bloody figure sagged against the
thongs that held him lifeess

charm and pocket-picce.
Long after the killing of Jules
it was SHADES favorite trick TO
saunter into one of the frontier
saloons, throw a grisly, dried ear
on the bar, and demand:
How about drink for that"
l don't know any time he didn't
get it.
DUT booze. whether he got it
- for a dried ear or cash, was
his downfall He couldn't keep
his hands off his forty-fours
when he began swigging the bot
tie He shot up every town he
came TO when he was on a spree.
1t got so bad the Overland finally
fired him.
But that didn't stop him.
Slade had been a freightcr and
a good one. SO he went back to
that, moving into Montana when
they struck gold at Alder Gulch
The Pony Express saw no more
of him, but Montana saw plenty.
When Sladc pulled out OF the
Overland he took his wife, >Nir-
ginia. with him. There vas a
loyat-woman If the West ever
saw one and il saw lots of them
as | aim to tell you. Where Slade
met her / never knew. Some said
she had been a daucehall girl
and | reckon that's right because
she sure was as pretty as "A
Spring flower
But beauty wasn't all she had
She had courage, lots of nerve
and was just about 80 handy with
a six-shootcr as her husband.
One time q gang of outlaws
caught Slade They were about
to string him up, but he made
such an argument 10 see his wife
just once more before nc died
that they agreed 10 send for her.
They locked Slade up in a log
cabin while one of THE bunch
went after his wife. In a few
hours she gallopcd up.
He's in there" The ringleader
nodded toward the door. But
don't be long This is a special
favor he don't deserve
Thanks, mister" She smiled.
1 won't be long"
She wasn't She looked so in
nocent the gang forgot to search
her. But once inside the cabin
she turned pistols out of her
clothes like out of a hardware
store.
Here, Joe" she said, handing
over two guns. Come on"
Before the outlaws knew what
was up the patf leaFci into the
doorway, guns blazing Virginia
jumped into the saddle Joe
swung on behind her BY the
time SHADES captors could get
their horses the fleeing couple
were miles on their way to
safety.
The day came not long after
that when Virginia rode again
TO save her husband bat this
time she rode too tate
After the SHADES moved TO
Montana they got a ranch about
ten miles from the new town OF
Virginia city Joe was mytag

shifting from the girls to his six
shooters. After a practice whirl
or two with them he let fly at
the lights. The piano player
ducked for cover as a bullet
splintered a chunk out of the
floor behind him. The girls yelled
and swore at the trouble-maker.
- That's good start" he
laughed. Now, I'm gonna take
this damn place apart"
Molly wasn't easy TO buffalo
She faced the desperate in the
dim light that filtered in from
the street.
Joe Slade," she yelled, you've
busted up my place for tn last
time! Now put them guns up an
git tn hell out O. here"
An what if l don't want to
go, Molly ," Joe sneered,
A couple more shots tore
through the walls as the terror
of the Overland toyed with his
pistols. Jus whadda you aim
TO do about it, Molly"
IN set tn Vigilantes on you.
Tn towns gittin' mighty tired
o your hell-raisin'. Now git"
"Th Vigilantes. Ell Well, I'm
one of 'em, Molly. Let's start
Spring housecleanin' right here. !"
With that Slade did start
Chairs went out the windows
Tables were smashed. Bottles
were broken. The piano toppled
onto the pile Of wreckage with
a tinny bang.
"Aw right, Molly, now bring on
your Vigilantes
But Molly was gone before the
wrecking was finished. She was
madden than a ducked cat when
she found the judge.
What good did it do to hang
tn Plummer gang if you're
gonna let Joe Slade shoot tn
town TO pieces ever time he gifts

When daylight came Sheriff
Fox started out TO arrest Slade.
He didn't want TO tackle him in

However, when they came to-

the role.
RAPIDLY RISING
Van Heflin. however, got con-
tract out OF il and he has certainly
put his time TO good use. His work
as Robert Taylor's inebriated and
disillusioned pal in Johnny Eager"
brought him immediate notice and
now the studio has definite plans
to keep him on top.
He's not very tall. He's not
handsome, he's careless about his
clothes and he has complete in

He prefers his own company.
