Splann and Steve.
Twilight dropped swiftly; full
darkness caught him at the edge of
the hills. He turned north with
far-off point of light to guide him
in. Yet by the time he had ridden
the three or four miles the fire had
died to embers and the camp was
wholly silent.
Pulling off his saddle, he could see
the dark bed of longhorns and the
dim shapes of three of the night
guard. All others must have fallen
dead asleep at shutdown. AS he
walked past the end of Joys wagon
the flaps parted. Her voice reached
him in little wordless cry, only
half uttering his name.
He turned toward her.
Levi" she said again, and then,
"Where have you been?"
She was crouched at the foot of
her bed with a coat pulled across
her shoulders over high-necked
gown. He could tell by her wide
open eyes that she hadn't been
sleeping.
One hand reached out and tugged
him close. You'd gone and nobody
could tell me where
He put an arm around her. She
laid her head against his coat. "I'n
always come back" he said. Don't

She moved her cheek gently.

He did, and the ache in him to do
for her sank away to its lonely
depths. With her father gone there
was but one man she wanted to turn
to for a woman's security. There
would always be Clay.

She nodded, drawing up from him,
and past the canvas flaps he saw the
small box against the wagons side.
He reached in and raised the cover.

they cut his trail, halted and faced
toward the brush that hid him. He
drew his gun, waiting; yet some
need for haste was driving them
on. With only short pause they
continued their quick trot up the
next hill and vanished to the north.
He showed the gun down into its
holster and sat a little longer to
make sure they would not turn back.
He had his answer. One of the men
was Ed Splann. Splann's bedron
from camp was lashed on one of the
packs.
Heading on west, he turned the
meaning of their fast travel over in
his mind and was certain of only
one thing. They were not following
the Cross T herd now, but Splann's
presence was sign enough that they
intended to meet it somewhere up
the trail. In his cool thinking now
he felt that firing the man back
there at the river may have been a
bad mistake. He could no longer
watch what Splann was doing, and
it had set Clay Manning's antag-
onlsm in new and more dangerous
way. He'd rather have a man blow
off his surly temper any time.
His horse loped on with an easy
rhythm, and the smooth green land
and the warm sun laid their peace
fulness upon him; and it seemed a
strange thing now that he couldn't
condemn Clay altogether. Time was
when he would have hated the big
bonds hair. Age, maybe. He was
twenty-five last month And he knew
himself what jealousy could do. But
that didn't explain it all either. Clay
was caught with his tail in some
kind of a crack. Jealousy over a
girl wouldn't account for the three
