He had seen Biff glance in their direction several times and guessed he was waiting until Judy was alone before join- ing her. By beating him to it Brent hoped to save her annoy- ance. Judy gave him a smile and said, | “Sit down, Tex. And you don’t even have. to buy me a drink if you don’t want to.” “But I do want to, provided it's something “milder than whiskey.” “S.ie’s on a téa -diet,”. said La, “but I’m still soakin'-yp whiskey, You can buy me one if you feel like it.” He'signaled the ba: r and sat down.

She said abruptly, “If you're in love with her. Tex. why don't you marry her and get her out ‘of this joint?” With a conscious effort, Brent regained control of his emotions. In love! Not in ten million years. There was no room in his heart for love until he had, squared the debt he owed his father and Cole. He disengaged his hand and his | face hardened, “You're toco, Lil.

At last she sa lo, Tl) stay here. One just can’t run from—Des- tiny.” A heavy. hand fell on Brent's shoulder and Biff Williams’ gruff voice said, “You've been here long enough, Tex: give somebody else a chance.” The hand was like | an iron clamp and’ Brent w: helpless while he remained seate: He drawied, “You may be right, Biff. Excuse me, Judy.” The hand was removed and he got up. He turned to face Biff and seid, “And again you may be wrong. I don’t like big. heavy hands on my | shoulders.” | “You don’t, huh? Well then Tl put that hand somewhere else.” They were standing less than two feet apart.and Biff’s. move- ment was lightning-fast. His fist came up in a powerful uppercut aimed at the point of Brent's chin and all the power of his heavy frame was behind the’ blow. Brent, knowing that something like this must come, jerked: his head aside and Biff's knuckles raked across his cheek with such force that he ‘went staggerin sideways; but even as he mov he sunk. a short left to the pit of Biff’s stomach and heard'the gasp of agony that was forced from the man’s lips. Brent caught his balance with his weight on his right foot, thrust towards Williams and hit him on the jaw with a powerful right. Williams stumbled and fell over the next table; its legs gave under his weight and he went down on top of it. Brent's gun whipped out and covered him even as he grabbed for his drawled. “I rec! not try it.” (To be continued) wn Colt.
