Pushed hard by riders on its flanks, the herd hurtled by, shrouded by a choking dust cloud which obscured the drag. O’Shane heeled the roan and Bead into the dust. Knotting his bandanna over mouth and nose and tugging his hat brim low over his eyes, the redhead wheeled in behind the herd, urging the stragglers] with swinging rope. A horseman emerged from the dust fog. “Push ’em harder,” he yelled, as he pounded past. “We got to make Coyote Springs be- fore sunup.” JUICKLY the thundering herd left the pasture flats behind and hit the desert. The pace slowed. To his left another rider was outlined through the haze, vigorously urging the tiring steers. O’Shane eased away, to discover a third rustler on his right. Sand- wiched between the two, he grad- ually ehecked the roan and slowly dropped back. One rider slanted over towards him. They came together at a fast lope. “Got the makin’s?” yelled the stranger, O’Shane jerked a sack of to- bacco from his shirt pocket by its dangling string and held it out. with the hoy. “Jules hired me—in town.” “How come vou didn’t ride out “Hit the your trail.’ POUNDING over the sage and san“, stirrup to stirrup beside O’Shane, the Double rider digested the explanatio.. in si- lence: Gleaming below a down- turned hat brim, his hard eyes ran doubtfully over the redhead’s chunky form, O'Shane sensed the suspicon that rankled in the night hawk’s mind and braced himself ‘ad too late, so I hit for a quick draw and fast get- away. Suddenly, however, the other reined off and drove the steel home. “Guess he’s hell bent to check up. with the boss,” rrowled O’Shane into the roan’s ears. “This is where we skeedaddle.” ‘At a safe distance, O’Shane again wheeled drifted leisurely on the trail of the rustled cows and figured his next move.
