He could wheedle her when he wanted to, with a sort of concerned gallantry, his blue eyes going momentarily grave. Then be could see their talk was coming to a decision, and his first feeling that Clay could get nowhere with Joy left him. For she stood briefly with a little frowning doubt. Steve took her arm and spoke to her. She nodded. They tossed their empty plates at the wreck pan and came on toward the fire. "Well, Lew. Gay said. He brought his eyes around. 'Schoola out. Clay.

Well be close to the Texas panhandle by that time. It's thin safety, I know, but we can call on the BTmy if we have trouble off of Indian lands. You got Army! Clay mocked. any idea where that is? Theres a troop, he said, at Doan's Crossing. I'm sending a man back tonight." That all you got?" Gay asked. That's all. Keep moving. Except we can make a fight of it if we have to. Sure. Against six hundred Indians! Eleven men, he pointed out, held off more than that at Adobe Walls. But there wont be six hundred bucks. Half of any tribe are He leaned back on his squaws. He neednt go on with an elbows. argument, and yet he wanted Clay to show his hand. It came forced out with heat, where none was called for, as if Clay needed that fire of temper to bolster him up. Youre right about turning west. But the herd travels too slow. Well send the wagons on ahead. What about splitting the men? You cant divide this he asked. outfit now. Youd have no protection anywhere. Then send plenty with the wagons. Make sure of that. Its Joy Im thinking about! Maybe. Yet Clays plan boiled down simply to abandoning the herd. He grinned dryly. Why not all go with the wagons? Let the Cheyennes take the cows." Steve put in, Lew, Clays right! Lew gave the boy a long straight look. Steve, he said gently, you know better than that. You stand there in your dads boots and tell me to desert four thousand longhorns at the first scare of Indians. Youve got more reason than youre telling. That's plain enough. No man with tany honest sense would split his crew here or run off either. I wont. Then I guess, Steve said flatly, a showdowns come. Hate to do it. Lew. Gays taking charge. Lew stood up.

Ames Strnyhorn, Tom Arnold' attorney in Ox Bow, had witnessed and notarized the document. There was no loophole. Its legality was beyond question, and he couldn't help but feel the compliment of the old man's trust In him. Joy was the first to look up. Any audden surprise is hard to take for most people. You come up behind a man and only yell hit name and most likely he gets mad. He thought it was that way with the girl now. She stared at him with a quick, bewildered anger. He saw Steve'i eyes lift from the paper and strike at Gay, questioning him, all of their old hounded fear suddenly In them again. Of the three this turn seemed to hit Steve the worst. For Gay's reactions were slow at times. His head came up. He stood like a huge bull swelling with his rage. It burst from him with the madness of one hardly knowing what he aid. "This changes nothing! Gay," he laid, that1 enough." He could feel the scar across his cheek begin to Itch and bum. "You All right, call this a showdown. lets show! Something happened before the start thats made you want to block this herd from going north. Now you think youve got your chance. Youd make Joy an excuse to let it go. Want to hear why? The Open A is coming up behind us. If we lose our herd to the Cheyennes they'll pass with no trouble. Theres a stacked deal for you! Its all you want" He saw Joy's face down beside his shoulder turn from anger to shocked disbelief. She stared at Gay, drfew back from both of them suddenly, holding them both with darkly bitter eyes. Without speaking she walked with rigid steps toward her wagon. The group of men had begun to break up. Joe Wheat rose and came over in his casual walk, a thin slat tale 1 "This changes nothing. man with a gaunt, morose face.

With no more the old man started away. Lew followed him past the fire. Not you, Joe, he said. Im riding guard in your place. Youre going back to Doans.

Joy less on the blankets, her head buried Keeping the paper in his own hands, in her arms. It was strange how he opened it and held it to the fire- rarely he thought of them as brother and sister.

Yet all of a brothers comtheir eyes were following, written in fort, for some reason now, was in Tom Arnold's oddly small, rounded the way Steves hand brushed her script.

He swung out from the herd and looked beyond their close formation, hunting off southeast in the way from which Joe Wheat would come. But off there and on behind him the land stretched empty and flat. He brought his eyes around slowly to hold a fixed gaze on the back trail toward the distant humps of the Wichita range. That emptiness was too good. So far away that at first he hardly caught it, looking like a part of the brown earth, a darker spot of brown was moving. He yelled and crooked his arm at the dragmen. They jumped their mounts into a run toward his side of the point. Quartemight loped around to him.. Moonlight Bailey and young Jim Hope began to drive the leading horse herd back. He waved the wagons over, and under that pressure of mules and horses and men the point began to swing. Gradually four thousand longhorns were turning back upon themselves, until they made a great letter U. And then the gap closed as the leaders joined the drags. There had been no confusion to give them a scare. They milled only a little and came to a stop in their compact pool. It had taken perhaps ten minutes time. Watching east, he had seen the dark spot grow in size, coming on swiftly in these minutes. John," he said, youre an at this. What would you say? Take it easy, Quartemight anSet like we are. They'll swered. have to do their fancy ridin first. If they get too close we can outtalk em some ways off. They sat with men spread out at intervals on either side, the two wagons close behind them, the horse herd bunched between the wagons and the cattle. Like that they formed a line facing the direction of attack, a line that could shift around the pool of longhorns if the Indians swung. He turned once and saw that Gay was backed against Joya wagon seat, making himself her guard. Then his buckskins little black-tippe- d ears pricked up, swinging forward. He felt the animals heart pound beneath his leg. Even the horse knew these were Indians, somehow, from a mile off. He wrapped his reins around the horn and drew his rifle from its A scabbard. cool fascination gripped him, like the thing you felt when you watched the rippled movements of a snake. They made a sight, no longer a solid brown. Their mounts were streaked with red and yellow. Naked, painted bodies and black heads lay close to the horses backs. They came on at a steady trot, knee to knee in a widespread line. Ain't that a show! Quarter-nigh- t said. sure Cheyennes, enough. , How many you figure? he asked. Some less than a hundred.
