The mans absence continued TO
bother him. There was no reason
why it should; Judy was safe IN

she'd never be safe anywhere
with Shotgun around Come to
think of it, there was a rear en-

led to the girls rooms; they used

through the barroom. He turned
abruptly, passed Jack Roselle's
end of the bar and reached for the
knob of the door in the side wall.
He caught Jacks cold gaze on
him and said, Reckon I'll get my
hat before / forget it"
He opened the door quietly,
stepped through it and closed 1t

and he had not heard the door

Brent ducked low just in time
Shotgun halted on the landing
and turned TO look down the steps
into the blackness, then tiptoed
along the hall and out of Brent's

Brent mounted the steps at &

were tight and his eyes glinteC
with anger. Again he was moved
by an impulse that he did not have
time to analyze. He reached the
top of the stairs. Shotgun was no

There is to doubt that the Communist coul

back into his eyes. He said quick
", Let me CO." and when they
still held him, Il said let me go.
I'm all right now" They released
him then.
Cuthbert sat up and somebody
helped him to his feet. He looked
about dazedly, picked up his hat
and put it on. He stood regarding
Brent and there was murder in
the reddish eyes. He said thickly.
Some day I'm gonna kill you for
this" and turned and stumbled
through the doorway.
The men followed him out, talk
ing in low tones among them
selves, and when they had gone
Brent picked up Shotgun's Colt
and handed it to Jack. Then he
| found his hat and put il on his
| head and followed Jack outside
without looking at Judy again
He took the key locked the door
on the outside while Jack watched
with his inscrutable agate eyes
Jack said, You're sure hell-on-

I'd like TO have you at my lack

The words sent an electric thrill
through him. Jack had seen him

without bothering to silence his
footsteps and swung into the
doorway. Shotgun was seated on
the edge of the bed wrestling with
a panic striker Judy. He was
crushing her to him, bending
avidly over her, reaching for her
lips with his. Brent's fingers dug
into hat and hair and ierked.
Shotgun's head snapped back
and he let out q howl. He dropped
Judy and the fierce tug brought
him to his feet. He leaped back
wards and his hat came away in
Brent's hand, and when he
stabbed for his gun Brent flung
the hat into his face and leaped
forward. He hit Shotgun on the
chin with a blow which sent pain
shooting up his arm.
