All bis life had been spent In the saddle. Imply for the reason that the dry country has few roads few places for roads to go end the horse Is the only means at cross country transportation across mountain ranges and sand dunes and the vast gulch-cu- t plaint. Ten thousand miles in the saddle had hardened him until he was made of braided leather, and no less enduring than the runty, unk liable range ponies. A few more miles on the horse trails and a few nights short of sleep could not tire d face him now. His was as awake as ever, and his gray eyes, made to look lighter than and they were by his weather-leathereskin, were as clear as they bad been when he arrived at the 94. He let his cigarette trail from a corner of hit mouth, rested hit chin on one hand; and, squinting through the thin rd-moving line of smoke, considered his next moves. He must travel that was certain. What could be done here was done the finding of Bob Flagg and Lon M a goon. He must trace Bob Flagg back to bis sources, back through Flagstaff, perhaps to the sold out Arizona raneh itself, seeking the truth, for be was certain that Flagg had shown more than a premonition of his death. And he must find time to run down the 94 debts, seeking ways to avert Its bankruptcy, at least for a time. He was wondering bow far he dared go against Dunn's order that no penny of Wheeler money should red in the 94 Dunn would be game to split the works wide open, if he didn't like the way salvation had been obtained. It was up to Wheeler to find ways to get around that, taking care that the girl would never guess any obligation to him.

About this costume, which was strange to him, there was a barbaric dignity, as if it were not something to sleep in at 11, but the ceremonial dress of some forgotten priestess. It was strange to see this vision here, standing beside a spare saddle that had been flung on the floor under a tangle of bridles on a wooden peg. Everything around her was cow country, but she she was something else, something love- ly from beyond the bills a daughter of two worlds. She came and sat beside him on the bunk.

To think about any phase of this killing esse, or of the imminent ruin of Horse Dunn's cow kingdom, was to think about her. After all the 94 wes her brand, and her future was interlaced with its future. So now as he looked up st the sound of her light quick step it teemed a natural aomehow expected thing to tee her standing there in hit door. This is a lonely night," aha said. Nothing anywhere in this night intends to sleep. "I guess that's so. But it's near morning now." Without high heels and with her hair light and loose about her sbouL-dershe should have looked smaller, but she did not He thought he had never seen her so tlimly tall so gravely steady. Perhaps that was partly the 'effect of what she wore. Because he had never seen her dressed as she was now, he had a sudden sense of how little be knew her, after all; just as he did not know what she wore when she slept, how could he know what went on In her mind when she was alone or ever? She was wearing pajamas, but their black silk was cut like a Russian smock, with a high collar of soft black silk about her throat, and close etiffs at her wrists, so that standing against the dark she wes all a part of the dark, except for the bright ivory of her face end hands and the loose shimmer of her In a way.

Ha thought of consigning ber safety to Old Man Coffee, or to the cowboys bow searching th hint for her; but ba was deeply concerned. "Sometimes I think, Marias that tha answer to everyaid. thing la to ba found right here here at tha 94 and no place else. Ha nodded moodily. "A man ought to ba able to figure it out, if ha era smart "There Isnt anything more you could follow up, here? When time Is so important "There's one Iona, slim possibility, ha said. "In heavena name, what la it?" "Thera's one thing in this case that I can't swallow. It stands out above everything else one unbelievable thing that couldnt possibly happen. I'm thinking of those two shots that have been thrown at you." She was silent, and after a moment or two he went on. "Somehow those shots at you are mixed up wlUs these other shootings; it would be too big a coincidence if tha shots at you and tha killing of tha men were separate, yet happening at the same time." "I can sea that, aU right. "But the shots at you eUmlnate nearly every suspect we have. Take Val Douglas. He hasn't proved very dependable, Marian. Hes been eeugbt in lies as to where be was.

Sometimes Fve suspected VaL Evan If ha didnt kill Flagg to rob him, still bo might bavo killed him by mistake, thinking It was somebody else.

But he controls this kid sheriff, and through tha sheriff hea bearing down on the 94 through this killing; and has getting awey with it His whole way of attack la orderly and thought out Ha wouldnt try any auch crazy thing a shooting a girl" "It's pretty hard to sea In what way I could stand between Link Bender and hla plans.

"Marian, its in my mind that I know who killed Bob Flagg." "Billyl If you know that Theres one man in that Inspiration crowd that Is too savage bitter to wait for Link Benders plan to pan out That man is Rule Deane.

You see, Marian, theres two parts to these killing eases. On thing la to find out who did it and why. Tha other thing la to prove it and get a conviction. I haven't one single thing to show against Rufa Deane; and until I can show evidence, it wont matter how sura I may be in my mind." When he looked at ber it eras past bis power to Imagine how Rufa Desna or anyone else could aver look down tha sights of a gun at Marian Dunn; aha was so gently and sweetly mads, so precious in his ayes. Ha didnt believe in Horse Dunn's creed of gun Justice, for ha thought that tha use of violence outside tha law was a coxtly thing, defeating its own purposes in tha and. But ha knew that if ever he faced Rufe Deane with anything Ilka a decent proof in hla hands, ba would destroy ths killer as ha would destroy a sidewinder or a vlnegaroon. "I'll never be able to believe In God's world that anyone would set out to hurt you," he said. "Yet somebody bes tried. Wbat naturally comes to mind is that somebody, some enemy of Horse Dunn, has gone out of his head.
