the women suddenly the loose front fire He unbuttoned The bucks stood rooted mouths his cow skin coat and was workof There was that instant of dead when she stopped him of out it ing hush and then the kick and thud Hold me "Don't take it of? broke it a of frightened animals side ” rattle of nostrils and a drumming It almost reached around her He run The squaws were yelling her held close of a yell

of his arms to get her out Those few hours until dawn let It went off like a pistol shot and a little boy saw him and raided the them travel again was a time set apart He knew it for what it was cry But he had pulled her through the opening he was lifting her up Fear and relief and their being alone had made it Knowuig on her together Straight and pushing her strict codes he understood how ’’Bun!” back!” he said She little change there could be The women had seen him how had already given her promise to They screamed He didn t see the And yet this knowlanother man until it was like a long old "buck of how strongly she loved him him edge from black shadow leap ng at was like a new force m himself He dropped his the tepee’s side He had half expected riding from right fist and rammed

ran rolled him faffing had been no sign of Willy and he with a horrible stench in his face Out in the dark he had to call knew the old fellow might even have She stayed in camo with the Cheyennes ber rame agan to fmd her I He his trickery unknown to them had met Instead of Willy Joe Wheat and the cavalry troop under young Eaton riding in an Lieutenant search It was clear enough then why the boyish lieutenant offered to escort them on north There were few women of Joy’s kind in his frontier life For six days he rode beside her wagon seat and paid bis gallant attention to her in the night camps But on the banks of the Canadian he gave it up and turfied east with his men toward Fort Reno Now the Indian trouble was more than a week behind the Cross T herd and except for one tying only a loss of two hundred cattle had resulted from that bad time The one holdover was In Clay Manning Watching Clay this week puzzled Lew remembered how the big blond stared at them the morning they came back— one long look turning away afterward without a word even to Joy He had thought it was only But It was Clay’s Jealous temper more than that For a moment’s hot jealousy could not go on eating a man day after day turning him as Clay had turned neither sullen nor violent but aloof and quiet almost to being docile It was a thing hard to understand in his loud and nature In the night camps during the short rest hour after supper be sat alone with hie huge shape bunched his blond head propped on a doubled fist like a man lost in deep thinking and Day bad never been a thoughtful man As the herd rolled northward across a country growing fat on the headed grama grass and easily handled the men could laze along in Yet groups talking away the hours he saw Clay riding an isolated swing position holding apart now even from Steve He knew he was not the only one But he heard watching him puzzled no talk until drifting along in front of the point late one afternoon brought it up the old man offered “Something” “has made a steer out of him He used to be a bull” "More than that John” he said “Looks more like something’s cut his mind” Quarternight nodded "Well sure You know there's some men should never get good look at themselves They’d better stay blind Didn't you ever notice” he asked “how a man that runt the biggest bluff folds up mighty small when someone calls his hand?” “You think Clay’s had his hand called then?” “He did” Quarternight said He lost his head there “twice among the Indians It could have You get a happened to any man split second of time and you do the But we all saw it and wrong thing He could have Clay knows we did Ingrabbed Joy from the wagon stead he charges the horses and then you're the one who makes the rescue His sort can’t stand that” “Then there’s the will Tom left” went on "Clay's Quarternight our foreman and yet that will showed the old man d ldn’t trust him With it brought right out in any the open like that he hasn’t much face left I hate to see it As long as a man blows around big and loud you can about tell what he’ll do But let him turn Inside himself and you never can” "Well sure" Lew said "I guess you're right" Still he felt it was only half the answer Clay’s concept could have built itself up again Whatever Joy might be seeing and about this he had little feeling chance to know For in these longest days of the year he was keeping himself and his men in their saddles for fifteen hours without a stop They ate at night with their bedrolls open and dropped asleep too for talk He thought it couldn’t last But dawn after dawn broke clear and untroubled Rivera were down to wading water they were alone far west of the trail In virgin land On the Fourth of July they crossed the and entered the state of Cimarron and that meant Dodge Kansas It was a high anticipation to buck them up through the endless hours If there had been any sign of what in Clay was brewing Manning’s head before they reached the Mulberry he missed It
