Whoever Doan was he didnt know. This place had been here long before his first trip up the traiL As soon as he walked in, even while his eyes caught little at first in the dim light, he had a quick sense of something wrong. The room was not crowded. Trail men took their drinks outside. He saw mostly, among the fifteen or twenty unifigures, the blue, yellow-stripeforms of the army moving across the damp clay floor. The talk was low; the smells of tobacco and liquor and oiled leather were right. Then farther inside he knew. It was the big Swedes jovial voice he missed so quickly. Ole Soderlund wasnt here. He had counted on Ole. They were friends and they could talk, and that talk would never leak out of the Swedes head. A man he didnt know was on a high stool behind the counter at the back of the room.' He was small and wore a black suit with a white shirt, oddly out of place in this frontier store. Shrewd eyes in a pinched face were watching him closely. He reached the counter. "Soderlund gone? Only a curt nod answered him. "For good? "Sold out. He could feel a guarded suspicion behind the shrewd eyes and he wondered. Did he look like anything but another trail hand? Something you want? "Maybe," he said and turned away, putting aside for now the one question he had come here to ask. Tonights celebration called for a treat He found the sardines on a shelf and took down fourteen cans. A trail crew always ran short of tobacco. He spread his rawhide coat and piled into it with the sard box of Honey Tip dines a Twist for the old men who chewed and a dozen cloth sacks of Dixie Durham for the smokers.

At the table they marked their places by dropping their hats on the bedrolls drawn up for seats, came back to the pit again for beans and corn bread out of the Dutch ovens and pickles from the chuck-wago- n keg. They poured blackstrap molasses over their bread and grinned when the cook tossed each one a can ol sardines. But all talk soon died. Eating was a sober business. Only Joy said, Lew, just like Christmas! and smiled at him, her eyes lingering with a steady warmth as if to tell him something. He didnt understand the look, but this meal was like Christmas din. ner, that one time at home on the Cross T when crew and family ate together in the big front room. A ruddy glow from the pit flooded the bent dark and light and bald heads as if from the fireplace of the room, while branches of ekn and oak arched a roof above them. He was halfway along the table with Rebel John, his inevitable partner, at his right elbow. Tom Arnold occupied one end, Joy the other. He watched Tom. This was their last meal on Texas soil. He looked around the table and knew that some of these men, chances were, would never tome back to it. He saw Joy watching him again. Whats the news from Doans? she asked. "Not much." The dress she had on tonight was suddenly familiar, made of fine cream-colorelinen with a high collar and long sleeves. A narrow red ribbon drawn tight above her waist shaped a womans full softness. She had worn that dress the night of the Ox Bow dance, when Clay Manning had told the world she was going to be his wife. "A dozen herds, he said, "held up n south by the flood. are crowding in along the river. Saw a troop of yellow-leg- s around, he added but didn't say what they were there for. No use bringing up about the Dakota Cheyennes. He saw Clay, around the corner of the table at Joy's right, lift his blond head. "What outfits did you see? He waited, "Strangers mostly. feeling there was another question in Clays mind. But Clay dropped his head and went on eating. It was Steve, directly across the table, who brought out casually, "Didnt see the Open A, did you? Guess theyre too far on. "No," he said, "dont think they are, Steve, and watched a change set instantly across the boys face. "They didnt have enough start on us. The rivers been higher than it is now, maybe up for a week. You can tell that by ring marks on the trees. He saw the tight look grow. "Were even with them, I figure, and got a good chance to get ahead." He had been feeling better about Steve these past days. The hounded look of watching his back trail seemed to have gone, as if Steve felt easier somehow as they approached the north line of Texas. But that look was there again now. In some way the Indian Supply herd being behind them, and not ahead, made a difference. Yet he was learning a man's guard and that boyish giveaway passed quickly. Only Tom Arnold showed he had caught it. He paused with a coffee cup half lifted, his puckered gaze fixed intently on his d Hoe-me- f A" d five-poun- taking only in men pull news. He understood about the Dakota Cheyennes. By what fool decision the government was set on making Northern Indians live in the South he didnt know. It wasnt home and they wouldnt stay.

But es soon as he was gone a man whom might have recognized stepped from behind the buffalo-bonpile and hurriedly entered the store. tut e late afternoon turned gray beneath a bank of thunderclouds.
