"You bet I am." They went Into the cook (hack, and he lighted the lamp again. Moving slowly, he quietly shoved wood Into the banked Ore, and got bacon into a skillet "I'm iure lurry I can't stay while this cooks," he said. "But I've got to make ride." "Maybe I'll go with you." "I'm afraid," he said gently, "you wouldn't want to do that" "You mean you don't want me." "It Isn't that But" "If you had any imagination you'd know I got up at this unearthly hour I want to talk to you." He waited, disturbed. She stood close to him, talking almost in whispers. He knew he must get going, but be could nut bring himself to move away. "You see I heard part of what you and Uncle John said last night." "You heard what?" "Uncle John has voice like old Hock In full cry," she explained. "My room Isn't next to his, but it Isn't far away. And when he's angry. I'll bet he can be heard ten miles back Into the Tuscaroras. I couldn't help hearing what you said about Bob Flagg being dead. And because If that's true" "Nothing." "Something did, though," Wheeler contradicted. He told Coffee of the shot from the brush. The old hunter scowled; he looked as nearly startled as they had ever seen him look. "This changes the whole he complained. "I thought I had it licked. I thought I could pretty near give names and cases. But this smears it" "I don't follow that." Marian said. "Neither do I." Coffee said, dismissing discussion. He turned to Wheeler. "You told her what we aimed to try?" "No." "Well, you should have. This is a kind of a sad, dark job we're on today, girl. We're going to try to find the the man that was killed at Short Crick." "I guessed that" Marian said. Old Man Coffee led off to the mule In northeast, his sleepy-earean ambling shuffle, and they rode In silence for a little way. Coffee signaled to them to come abreast "Maybe you've wondered some," he laid, "why I've been kind of prowling around of nights, as your set-up.- " d " ii i in " an "what Her was all." He thought he detected a faint wicked gleam in her eyes, but he kept his face expressionless, and stood pat "We've got to find Old Man Coffee," she said. "Seems like he's left, Marian." "You've got to take me to him," the girl said. "You can find him I you can find him." know "What makes "Can't you?" you think so?" Wheeler hesitated; what Old Man had told him had been told In confidence. Yet Invariably, he found it almost impossible to speak untruly to this girl. His hesitation was fatal. "You know where he is," she said suddenly. He picked up his bridle. "I've got to get out of here." "Billy you're riding out to meet Old Man Coffee!" "Tell your uncle I'll be back tonight." he said abruptly, and moved toward the door. "I'm going with you." "I'm aorry," he said, "but you're not You're a pest, that's what you arel Go on and eat your breakCoffee fast" Yet he knew that he could not this girl, nor control anything that she did; and what was worse, she knew it too. As he left her she note to her uncle, was writing telling him where she had gone; and she was with him, mounted on her own pony, as he left the layout Wheeler pressed his pony along steadily, eyes to the front; and he was combating his keen awareness that the girl was at his side. He d had loved this gaunt, country of blasting sun and sharp shadows; differently than he had loved the girl, but as a man loves his home. But now he knew he would need another different country, a new type of grazing land. If he was ever going to forget this girl who rode beside him, whom he bluff clear-colore- never could possess. They were almost In the shadow Lost Whiskey Butte when she broke the silence between them. "Billy I told you something that wasn't so." of waited. "It was when He we were talking about Bob Flagg, and how I heard what you and Uncle John said about that And I said that was all I heard. Well that wasn't all." "What else did you hear?" "I heard it all." "Isn't it better." she said, "that both know now how things really stand between us, I mean?" ' He made himself say, "I guess so Marian." "It Is better," she said, and he wondered why her voice seemed so ad. "Because don't you see? there's nothing to keep us from being friends now really friends. And each of us all of us are going to need what friendliness there is left in the world, I think." we As him, X with his dogs about to meet Wheeler and Dunn from Lost Whiskey Coffee, rode out Marian Butte, the girl pushed her horse ahead. She stopped close to the old man, facing him squarely. "He tried to keep me from coming," she told Coffee, "but there wasn't anything he could really do. Now, if you want me to go back, I Will."
