O’Shane sighted the low-lying dust cloud slowly drifting up- wards on the horizon, as they reced along. “There’s your cows!” he re- marked laconically. The foreman grunted, ducked the} the outspread thorny branch of a buckthorn and urged his pony to greater speed. Spurring and yelling, riders ap- peared and disappeared, as they darted in and out of the dust haze on the flanks of the herd, fran- tically urging the cows to greater’ speed. From the drag, two horsemen wheeled and backtracked towards the oncoming Turkey riders. The distance between the two parties narrowed every second. When less than a half mile distant, the pair went to earth. Above the faint clacking of horns and bellowing of the cows, came the sharp crack of a Winchester. The hidden marksmen commenced to throw a steady stream of bullets at the madly galloping cavalcade. : dodge,” he reminded the foreman thick and ned, fling- of cholla.} gnation, fishhook f ersoh, e to O’Shane’s | EAD was flying fast.
