Guntighter' S Return
by Leslie Ernenwein

Rimbaud swore, knowing in.
stinctively that Stromberg's men
would return. Especially Booger
Bill. The big man was loco with
hate. Red would want another cut
at him also in retaliation for that
kick. Those two would be back.
Remembering that Jubal had
discarded his Buntline pistol in the
yard, Rimbaud thought: I've got TO
get it before they return. With
teeth clinched against the grinding
pain in his side, he rose to his
knees. The dark room seemed to
be whirling around him in black,
undulating waves. He waited for
the dizziness to pass. But il got
worse. He started creeping toward
the door. and was sick. After that,
for what seemed an endless night
mare of slow motion. he crept and
rested and crept again, inch by
pain-racked inch, while sweat
coursed down his cheeks and the
taste Of it was salty on his lips.
Pain slashed his side with sharu
claws. It brought a stark clarity
TO his mind, and in this moment OF
comprehension he heard the hoof
tromp OF horse coming into the
yard. One horse.
Booger Bill! Rimbaud thought
instantly. Booger Bill coming back
to stomp him!
But il might be Sam Maibenl
Perhaps Sam had circled and come.
back to give him hand. Then id
occurred to Rimbaud that Maibenl
wouldn't do that. He'd know BETTER
than to lead those devils back
here. So it must be Booger Bill
riding into the yard.
Prodded by awful dread now, !
Rimbaud reached for the door

self up. He had to get into the
yard. Regardless OF pain or dizzi-.
ness he had to reach his gun, or be
booted to death. Fighting 10 ball
ance himself, Rimbaud staggered
through the doorway, took one
fioundering step into the yard, and
collapsed.
For a frantic moment, as he
fought his way up out Of the
quilted blackneSs that engulfed
him, Rimbaud thought he heard a
voice that was far of, like the
fragile echo of an echo. But il was
too distant, and he wasn't sure he'd
heard il, until Della StrombeYgi

emily, Did they shoot your"

@. What shark is of the most

A. This is the soupfin shark,
GaleorhinuS zyopterus. Of the
California coast. which natures

The liver OF this species is the
richest known natural source of

War II the soupfin and west coast
dogfish were the chief factors in

the United States and allied ma
tions. Now that vitamin A can be

i'm, RIMBAUD rolled with
- punches he couldn't dodge. He
gasped for air like a thirsty man
gulping water. So much water he
gagged on it. Blood ran into Rim
baud's right eye, binding it and
blood was a warm wetneSs on his
broken lips. He hit Booger Bill in
the belly, and heard him grunt,
and knew the big man was tired.
So am /, Rimbaud thought. So
tired it took all his remaining
strength to swing his fist. But he
had to keep swinging; had to re-
main on his feet. If he went down
now, with this wild bull of a man
above him, he'd get kicked to
death. He knuckled blood from his
right eye and saw Booger Bills fist
coming at him, and attempted to
dodge it. But the fist smashed
against the side of his head with
an explosion that deafened him
After that, for a time, Rimbaud
was remotely aware of going down
and getting up; of striking and
being struck; of seeing Booger
Bills blurred, blood-smeared face
wabbling queerly before him.
There was no expression on Bills
face. 1t was blank, like a dead
mans face. But his eyes weren't
dead; they were wild and alive and
red as the infiamed eyes of a mad
bull.
Then, from nowhere. at all. an
other face appeared - Skaters
narrow, grinning face - and he
heard him shout, Nov you git it,
Rimbaud! Now you really git i'll"

trick learned in a Sonora mescal

for survival. He went down side

free hand and kicking Shafter in

In. Rimbaud got up, ducked Boo

strength in his legs. The floor tilted

ing to get up when Booger Bill
kicked him in the side, again and
again. And now, as sharp splinterS
of pain lanced along Rimbaud's
ribs, he heard a gun blast, a deaf
ening explosion echoed by q tinkle
of shattered glass.
The kitchen went dark. There
was the sound of a horse racing
out of the yard, and Hugh Jubal
shouting, Come on, come on!
That's Sam Maiben!"
After that, for a time, there was
nothing at all.
DAM reused Jim Rimbaud, a
1 sheath of pain that had its hot
core in his left side. He put his
hand there and felt no blood. He
wondered about the pain, and the
throbbing ache along his temples.
And the darkness. Where was he?
For a confused interval while
clarity came by slow stages, Rim
baud lay rigidly braced against the
continuing burden of his pain.
Then he remembered being kicked.
Booger Bill, he guessed morosely,
had cracked his ribs. Or broken
them. Recalling the gunshot that
had smashed the lamp, and Jubal
saying it was Sam Maiben, Rim
baud muttered. that's what
saved me-"
But the Roman Four trio would
be back. He attempted to unite his
left hand, but the knot was pulled
too tight. He hunched up on an
elbow, cursed at the spiinters Of
pain that movement brought, and
waited while a wave of nausea
washed through his sweat
drenched body. Then he tried to
get his head around and down to
the knot that thonged his hand to
his left thigh, wanting to use his
teeth on il. Again and again. while
sickness gagged him, he endeav-
ored to fight his way to the knot.
But he couldn't quite make it
