Take that trail and go straight on toward the hills." "You don't think you might have trouble with Megeath?" Caramba asked hesitantly. "Of course, me and Twenty don't weigh awful heavy, but we might kind of back you up" "When I need help or advice I'll ask for it!" Tenison snapped. "All right! All right! But 1 hope you don't live to see the day you need it and don't have time to come asking!" They got their horses from the liv-ery liv-ery corral, had a final drink at a lit tle cantina where Mexican proprietor proprie-tor and Mexican customers watched so steadily that Con knew he was recognized. When they rode past the rooming house, Tenison and Janet were not on the veranda. But somehow. some-how. Con felt more cheerful than before. He stared ahead blankly and whistled Buffalo Gals. "She is pretty!" Caramba said thoughtfully. "Say! I thought you said she keeps house for her brother. broth-er. How-come she's down here?" "I don't know. Surprised me to see her step out there and call Tenison Teni-son Uncle Peek' and talk about buying buy-ing for him at the store. Well, Mrs. Tenison may be a friend of hers. Or she may be a niece. Probably she came visiting I wonder! Maybe Nevil's not so easy in mind about her being on the NL while he sher iffs around. After Dud's crack at the place probably he wouldn't" They turned at the heap of boul ders and rode along the ranch road. Ahead, the hills rose, low and smoky. The sunlight of late afternoon after-noon was pale upon flat and height. Caramba shifted in the saddle to look all around him. 'Ought to be ten-twelve miles to the house. Be dark by the time we hit there good and dark. Say! how-come how-come the girl never let on she knew you? ' 'Because I was with you. You wouldn't expect a nice girl to speak to anybody siding a wild-eyed Texi-can Texi-can of your build. When she gets me off to myself, she'll read me a sermon about associating with bad companions." He swung off on the little hilltop and stretched himself. Caramba dismounted dis-mounted and reached into his al-forja al-forja for the quart brought from On-opa. On-opa. He sprawled comfortably to make a cigarette and smoke. Con sat beside him and played mumble-peg mumble-peg with his heavy knife. "You know, I told you about that gang at Fronteras," he said presently. pres-ently. "Well, this Gloomy Megeath was drinking at the bar within a yard of me. I don't think be recognized recog-nized me today and made out that he didn't But I made enough noise around Fronteras for him to notice me and remember me." "Does look funny. Looky" But Con had already seen the rider rid-er topping over a ridge a quarter-mile quarter-mile or so away, coming toward them. Caramba stared calculatingly at the man and shook his head. The rider came on toward the hill and when he was within fifty yards they saw that he rode with hand on his pistol. He pulled in, a thick, dark man with wide, flat face, to look sullenly and arrogantly at them. "Wheelers?" he grunted. "Hell! don't gawp so. I ain't aiming to eat you maybe." "That'll please your teeth," Ca-ramba Ca-ramba said dryly. "Yeh. We're Wheelers. So that makes it polite for us, being on Wheel range, to ask where you're from. Even, which way you're heading . . ." "I'm Monk Irby! Reckon you heard that name. And I'm from Helligo Canyon. And I'm beading for Onopa to kill me a couple pups!" "Well, I've heard of Onopa. anyway," any-way," Con drawled solemnly. Irbs smoky eyes shuttled suspiciously suspi-ciously from one to the other. Out of a pocket of his old coat he drew a flat flask, held it up to the low sun, uncorked it and drank gulping-ly gulping-ly until the half-pint of liquor had disappeared. Then he tossed the empty flask away and got heavily out of the saddle. "Gi me a cigarette," he ordered them generally. "I run out of tobacco to-bacco awhile ago." plaintively. "You know I'm tenderer tender-er in the gizzard than you are." He held out tobacco and papers and when he had smoked for a moment mo-ment Irby seemed not so belligerent belliger-ent "I got a couple pups to kill," he said raspingly. "You fellows been in town today? Slash Oxweld was murdered plumb murdered! by two tramp cowboys. If you was in town talk up!" "Goodness me! We got nothing to hide!" Caramba cried. "We watched the whole business and we're willing to talk. Not because you say to, sabe? You want to watch that habit of yours, Mis-ter Irby, being be-ing so crowdsome and handing out powders so gay! But it did happen that we saw our wagon boss, Gale Goree, push Slash around allasame liT boy steering a pig with a switch." He shook his head in the way of one meditating. "I bet you that made Slash mad at Goree. Goree wanted him to pull his big pistol, you see. But Slash set out to fool him: he wouldn't do it!" "So" Con picked up the tale drawlingly "Slash had to try something some-thing to blow up his balloon again. As soon as he was certain that Goree Go-ree and the other Wheelers had got a long way out of Onopa, he hunted a safe man to kill any old way. He picked the youngest tenderest cowboy cow-boy he could find. He thought Ht was a good pick, a safe pick. But it turned out that it was a sharp pick. Another false alarm was with Slash and he got out with his hide-but hide-but that hide had a hole in it" His hand twitched smoothly and Irby stiffened before the cocked pistol pis-tol "I wouldn't try slapping leather, Irby!" Con said evenly. "Reach up and take hold of your big, ugly ears!" Con lifted his Colt and aimed at Irby's belt Irby's hands went up as if jerked by a string. He blinked incredulously, incredu-lously, swallowed, began to stammer stam-mer thickly. Caramba went humming hum-ming to jerk the gun from Irby'. holster. There was a shorter pistol in a shoulder holster under the prisoner's pris-oner's coat a long bowie knife sheathed between his shoulder blades, a derringer in the watch pocket of his pants. Con watched the disarming with brooding calm. Then he handed Caramba his pistol and went three steps to stand before be-fore Irby. "The more I look at you," he said between his teeth, "the more I don't like a thing about you! So" His hand shot out to rake down Irby's face from forehead to chin. Irby swore furiously and struck at him. Con swayed to the side and twisted. He drove his left to Irby'. belly and jerked the taller man down, hooked right and left flashing-lv flashing-lv to Irby's neck under the ears, then stepped back. Irby slipped to his knees, but scrambled up ana came in a clumsy rush at him. Irby was staggering, mouth open. too winded even to curse. As coldly as an executioner, Con moved to the nrecise position he wanted, then smashed him exactly on the box er', button." Irby came down loosely, like a dropped Jumping jack. Con turned to find Caramba staring at him with an odd, narrow-eyea ln- tentness. "Por dios!" the red-headed puncher punch-er said explosively. "I do believe Topeka Tenison stumbled onto somebody some-body ex-act-ly the kind they been saying the Busted Wheelers run to! You never looked so so damn' deadly. Con, even when you bucked Slash Oxweld! Thpv eet under my skin!" Con snarled furiously. "Dud Paramorel r.loomy Megeath! Slash Oxweld! This! And the like of that thieving ,,tflt at Wild .

Some 150 Filipinos, engaged to portray por-tray invading Nipponese troops, were to charge a ma-chine ma-chine gun nest manned by Robert Preston and William Bendix. "Half of you fall dead," they were told. When the smoke cleared all 150 were stretched corpse-like on the ground. The scene was shot again, after the same instructions were given.
