A finger of sunlight slanted across my face, intensifying an ache at the back of my eyeballs. Still in a dazed con- dition, I lay quiet and waited for memory to refresh itself of the events of the night. First, there had been the wind- storm, turning calm day into furious night and spinning me into the re- sort; discovery of Dillon in the hall. my ascent of the staircase, and Dil- lon stalking me in the gallery. The crack of his pistol, the bite of bullet on woodwork. They were as vivid to me as fire. A door had opened, then— Here I paused. The sandstorm, my experience with Dillon, my painful been real. But the rest of it? The two men playing poker in the dark. Their cold, waxed faces—I shuddered. Nightmare or delirium; nothing more. Yes, I saw exactly where reality ended and illusion began. 1 was lying on the floor in one of the rooms off the balcony, a pillow under my head. A bed, a bureau, and a chair were in the room. The door had been smashed in. Sitting on an empty case, a rifle between his knees, | was the oddest-looking creature I had ever seen. | He was a little wizened-up crab- apple of a man. Snow-white hair thatched his skull and ears and neck, and his face was furrowed like a fresh-plowed field. His arms were long like an ape's and enormously strong, I thought, and they term- inated in a pair of sinewy hands. He was fingering a lump of quartz, at which he peered through a lens stuck in his eye. “Good morning, Furie,” I said at ingth. His ancient head flashed up and I put his age at eighty. The small, red- rimmed eyes, China-blue in color, were set in a dirty wedge of a face. ‘The glass in his eye, held monocle Tel ° fashion, was eight-sided.

Dropping onto the bed, I fixed a stern eye on the crafty face in front of me. “See here, Furie, you called on Nathan Hyde Friday morning. Where did i find that pistol you sold him?” He began to interlace his bony fin- gers. “Hain't I said I ain't tellin’ nethin’?” T leaned nearer, pointing my finger at him. “You also called on Andrew Ogden. You took him a specimen of gold quartz. Where did you get it?” “I ain't tellin’!” he yelped. “Well, it doesn’t matter,” I said . “You got it from a new vein in the Two Brothers.” He leaped to his feet, speechless and foaming, his walnut shell of a face as yellow as saffron. Quivering, he shook his bony fists in my face, his eyes bloodshot. “Tis my gold, this!” he screamed, By Williams OOES HE DOIT?

Then shrewdly, “How'll they prove it agin me when I didn’t do it?” “Maybe they won't if you tell every- thing you know.” He opened his mouth, then shut it stubbornly.
