that big break came this morning.

you had to meet us here today!'

The FBI men viewed him with
sardonic dead pans. Steve said
slowly, $50 you kidnapped her from
the train at the next town."
"Yep, and tried to get her to
marry me, but it was no go. She s
a woman of character. was des-
perate. So 1 did the only thing
that would bring her back and
keep her here till you goats let
me clear myself with her. l gave
her the chance of turning me over
to the law. 1t was struggle,
bless her, but she did it."
A grin broke over Sanderson's
cold face. For years." he told
Steve, ''the force has been wait

he'd be really socked, and prob

Sanderson turned to the others,
his eyebrows raised. "What do you

Manzanares cleared his throat.

beautiful Senorita Marsden,' he
murmured formally, lit is ex-
tremely safe to risk this pertinent
information in her hands. I will

Steve nodded with the others.
Curley's gaze stopped on him and
impulsively he thrust out his hand.

dryly, cor that I haven't been
biting nails for weeks having to
make that contrast even sharper.
That okay you just gave me was
a big gesture and I appreciate it."
Steve's tight smile relaxed.
You're all right, Chancellor" He
gripped Curley's hand, then showed
his phone toward him.
Curley called jeans hotel. He

Steve's blank gaze turned from
Curley's tall figure lounging in
the doorway, a forefinger twirling
his sombrero, to the quizzical
smiling FB1 men.

hoarsely.

than he had used toward Steve in
his cowboy role. "Fooling you was
not my idea. But the office felt
the success of my job depended
on completely natural reactions
toward me by you as well as the
townspeople." He drew some pa
pers from his pocket and tossed
them on Steve's desk, including
the FBI men and Manzanares in
his grin. "And I HAVE brought
in our evidence.
Good boy" said Sanderson
warmly.
Curley relaxed into a chair and
tilted it back against the wall with
sigh of comfort. 1T turned out
to be quite piece of work at
that" he grimaced ruefully.
"Those Parkinsons are smooth

Sanderson, but he was devouring
the pages of the report with en-
thusiasm. 1t lacked nothing in
conciseness and detail. 1t contain

was the problem child of the gang

things indicate the time is ripe
for that signal. But I know that
