Haskell Closes
TnADn TIdez~.

| Weber backed away from the awe
some figure in the scarlet neckerchief
and sash.
There's nothing in these books that
will interest you," he growled "Mr.
Bartle sent me to fetch them to"
"Your farm? Then he's the man to
whom you were talking in the black
smith shop" Ell Caballero Rojo nodded.
"You threatened him. You are hoping
to back up that threat with those books.
Anyhow, what interests you interests
me. No more palaver. Unload"
Weber sided another foot nearer the
door that opened on the stairs. The
sharp command stung his ears. He
dared not move another inch.
81 haven't any objections to your
looking at these things" he drawIed.
IF you'll give them back to me and
let me CO."
"You have no objections !" Ell Cabal-
lero Rojo's laugh was a sarcastic snort.
"Put those books on that chair beside
you. Six-gun on top. Be careful.
Sabef"
Clark Weber obeyed. He watched the
velvet-clad man stalk to the chair.
Weber's every nerve and muscle were
under rigid control, for he knew that
when he moved it must be with the
speed of light. He saw one gauntleted
hand seize papers and the other move
for the top ledger.
Nov" he told himself.
Pete Haskell rode down Gold Creeks
main street fanked by Luke Wallace
and Tim Callan, and with the cavalcade
of ranchers behind them. They saw
that the shade in Bartle's living quar-
tiers was drawn, and that light glowed
behind it.
Haskell pulled up his horse. ut was
agreed that speak to Bartle Alone"
he reminded.
yep" Wallace nodded. "I'll ride
herd on the boys-but not far from the
bank. Get on with it, Pete. Good luck
for Bartle's sake"
The range veteran got from his horse
and strobe toward the bank, eyes low
cred and chin down. Sheriff Lande
would certainly be on his neck after
this nights work. 1t hurt the cowman

Weber led the grim parade. At last
| he travelled down the cowtown's mud
puddled street with greedy grin OF
his face. But it was suddenly wiped
away. For window of the bank showed
yellow berez.sn partly drawn shade
Weber refined up short in the middle
of the street as he growled out low
! curse.
I Light! Had Bartle left the farm
Could it be possible that he had ignored
Weber's warning and left, taking q
short cut that would bring him here to
town before Clark Weber himself?
Curse him!
He left his horse at the hitching rail.
Twice he hammered on the downstairs
door, then climbed the outside stairs
lending to the bankers living quarters
and knocked peremptorily again. But
there was no answer, nor sign of life
within. He moved down the stairs,
walked stealthily around the building,
scanning it front and back.
Then he remounted and rode to the
saloon, where he sandwiched the horse
between punchers' gray and dun ami
mails. Bad business, he thought, for
housebreakers to have their mounts at
the door behind which they prowl.
He hurried back to the bank. Tender
hands and labby muscles made it hard
work to climb up on porch roof at
the rear of the bank. Putting, he reached
Bartle's window. The locked latch an
noyed him. But the long, thin blade Of
his pocket knife fitted between the
sashes and soon he had the window up.
He stepped lightly into the larger of
the two rooms of the living quarters.
No one was there, so quickly he lowered
the shade, then stood wondering which
of the books on the orderly desk would
yield the most helpful information.
He picked up the smallest book. It
was discouraging. The pages only in
formed him that they were kept by a
man who wanted to know where every
penny went. Even postage stamps were
listed. Growing, Weber flung the book
down.
He read parts of letter plucked
from thick file. But man does not
brand himself by keeping copies of
letters offering to sell land which he
owns. Weber's castles in Spain began
to show cracks in their foundations.
Had he dreamed all his pleasant dreams
only to find them fantasies?
Snatching up ledger he let it fall
open haphazardly.
Page Ten i. Farm Number Thir-
teen. The page halved by double
red lines. Bought from a descendant of
one of Don Attero's people by Bartle.
Price eleven hundred dollars. Sold to
Thomas Buckley. Thirteen hundred
dollars.
Legitimate profit" unused Weber,
his eyes following the diagonal line
almost to the bottom of the page.
Buckley evidently liked the place.
Stayed ten years and then"
His eyes famed with hope.

Bought by Russ Bartle. |

Weber grunted, his eyes narrowed. |
For then he read that Russ Bartle had |

lind tho transactions was net profit |

I'm Bartle's partner. Until I can get
rid of him the way he's got rid Of
people he couldn't scare out of Deep
Water Valley"
In Weber's eyes blazed the same lust
for power and wealth that had spurred
Bartle on. He turned toward the open
window-and in that moment his
visions of the future melted away like
lard on clustering hot stove, evapo-
rated by a specter clad In the garments
of conquistador of Old Mexico.
"I'll take those books and papers,"
said the scarlet-masked terror at the
